Cramped and confined for nine months, a baby goes through a lot to enter the world. Birth interventions such as forceps and vacuum extraction can be particularly traumatic for a baby. However, even an uneventful birth process can be hard on a baby’s neck and spine.

Did you know that a highly gentle and simple adjustment on a newborn could be incredibly beneficial? Only slight pressure — the amount used to check a tomato for ripeness — is applied to adjust an infant.

An adjustment may help to reduce any nerve interference that resulted from the birth process to help Baby experience better health.

By getting your baby adjusted shortly after birth, you may help your child get off to a healthier start in life. Chiropractic care may help with common childhood conditions such as colic, ear infections and more. Contact our practice today to learn more.
