Chiropractic for Babies. Really?
Yes. Chiropractic assessment and care should be a part of every baby's wellness program.
The birth process puts a lot of stress on the baby's neck and spine which not only creates discomfort and pain, but can also lead to Traumatic Birth Syndrome (TBS). If forceps or suction were used, or it was a difficult delivery your baby needs to be examined. TBS can manifest in a number of symptoms or be asymptomatic. Studies have linked TBS to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Left untreated TBS can continue to cause problems for the child that include a lowered defense from the immune system and learning disabilities.
Pediatricians are trained to treat symptoms and conditions with drugs and surgery while our chiropractic doctors specialize in the assessment of the spinal and nervous systems. Natural chiropractic care uses gentle touches to re-align the neck and spine without the use of drugs, and is a beneficial as a part of your baby's overall wellness program.
