Newborn + PediatricCare
Newborn + Pediatric Chiropractic Care
When you’re seeing your child grow through the first few stages of life, you want to make sure that all parts of their health and wellness are taken care of. For some babies, that can involve treating conditions that may be impacting their development and immune system.
Every age can benefit from seeing a chiropractor. Newborn and pediatric chiropractic care focuses on addressing challenges that your baby or young child may be experiencing by improving their nervous system function with gentle and safe adjustments. We can also help boost important aspects of their overall health, such as their sleep quality, movement, behavior and immunity.
Common Conditions Treated for Newborns
There are several conditions that a baby can develop soon after birth that can be improved with effective chiropractic treatment. Chiropractic care can decrease the physical symptoms caused by these conditions and boost other aspects of your newborn’s quality of life. It can improve nerve development for reduced stress, fussiness and risk of getting sick.
Chiropractic care for newborn babies can treat the following conditions:
Colic — A chiropractor’s approach to colic is rooted in understanding how the spine and nervous system interact with digestion, comfort, and overall well-being. When there’s a misalignment, often caused during birth, it can disrupt nerve function. In infants, this may manifest as discomfort, poor digestion, or trouble sleeping.
Sleep issues — Adjustments can address nerve tension and relax muscles to help newborns fall and stay asleep.
Nursing difficulties — Chiropractic care can reduce tension that impairs latching or posture, improving feeding; it may also help breastfeeding mothers with supply and recovery.
Acid reflux — Realignment can relieve nerve compression, improving digestion and reducing regurgitation, burping, and swallowing issues.
Common Conditions Treated for Infants and Children
Chiropractic care for infants and children includes treating the following:
Ear infections — Otitis media can disrupt routines with pain, hearing trouble, irritability and fever. Chiropractic realignment may reduce pressure and improve drainage.
Asthma and allergies — Infants and children can have asthma or allergy-triggered breathing issues. Chiropractic care may improve lung function via proper alignment.
Digestive issues — Kids often face constipation, reflux or diarrhea. Chiropractic adjustment can address misalignment or nerve compression that affects digestion.
Behavioral and developmental disorders — Chiropractic care shouldn’t replace other treatments for autism, learning disorders or ADHD, but alignment may improve nerve communication and reduce some symptoms.
