Most people never think about infants and chiropractic, but listen to this: spinal adjustments frequently result in “immediate quieting, muscular relaxation and sleepiness!” Now, as a relatively new mom myself, I know THAT sounds like heaven to parents of infants. But wait, there’s more!

I adjust my own children regularly because I know the facts - the birth process alone is a traumatic event which can result in subluxations. In one study of 1,093 newborns, 298 had upper neck stress and early signs of scoliosis. These things can affect a child for the rest of their lives if left untreated. Many of my patients wouldn’t even be my patients if they had chiropractic care when they we infants and children. There are a myriad of conditions that can respond to chiropractic care: difficulty breast feeding; unbalanced face and skull development; foot inversion; nervousness; ear, nose and throat infections; allergies and sleep disorders; and projectile vomiting are just a few.

One doctor of chiropractor recommends six critical exams times in a child’s first year of life:
• After the birth process
• When the baby starts to hold up his or her head
• When the baby sits up
• When the baby starts to crawl
• When the baby starts to stand
• When the baby starts to walk

I want your children to have the best possible start at good health. Bring them in today for a consultation. A simple chiropractic check up now could make a huge difference in the quality of life for your child for years to come.

Until next time,

Dr. Sarah
