We see a lot of babies in our practice. Many times, we hear the question, “Why would a baby need an adjustment?”
The Trauma of Birth
Keep your little one smiling with gentle chiropractic care!
It’s very important to assess and evaluate a baby as soon after birth as possible.
You want to make sure that the child’s well-being hasn’t been affected by the birth process itself. The following procedures can be quite aggressive:
• Vacuum extraction
• Forceps delivery
• C-section
These procedures, and even a natural childbirth, can be very traumatic to the delicate spine of a newborn, and result very commonly in upper neck subluxation (misalignment of the bones in the top part of the neck). This misalignment frequently results in these issues:
• Inability to nurse properly
• Inability to sleep well at night
• Fussiness
• Flat spot on the skull
• Altered head shape
• Colic
