Babies and chiropractic adjustments may seem like an abnormal combination, but starting life with a healthy alignment can reduce the stress a vertebral subluxation may be causing on your baby’s nervous system.

Vertebral Subluxation: Spinal joint dysfunction caused by misalignment of the spine resulting in interference to the transmission of mental impulses

The birthing process is traumatic. Babies are typically born headfirst and doctors apply force by gripping the head to remove them from the birthing canal. Think about the stress that must cause on your baby’s back. This is your child’s first vertebral subluxation. This process can cause the dysfunction that disrupts transmissions to your baby’s brain. Pediatric chiropractic care can gently correct subluxations and assist in treating a variety of pediatric ailments.

Many pediatric conditions can be treated with chiropractic care including:

The best part of chiropractic care is that it’s safe. There is no harm in attempting to treat a condition with chiropractic care before moving on to more invasive options. Most parents are understandably skeptical of taking their baby to a chiropractor. They have seen or experienced the snapping or cracking generally associated with chiropractic adjustments, but chiropractors do not take the same approach with infants as they do with adults. Treatments are much milder and very calculated. Babies are fragile and a small gentle manipulation goes a long way.

The safety of chiropractic is proven by the low premium rate of the profession’s medical insurance. Chiropractic has the lowest rate among all primary care providers in the United States! Chiropractors who treat children have the same malpractice insurance as those who treat adults, further demonstrating the safety.

Vertebral subluxations begin at birth that’s why it is important to take your child to a chiropractor early in life. A chiropractic adjustment can improve the health and well being of your infant. It is important to give your child every opportunity to reach their full potential, so start them on a life cycle of chiropractic care. From birth, to falls and bums, then learning to walk and riding a bike, life can cause many misalignments for children. Chiropractic care helps to improve nerve function and overall health.
