Pediatric & Infant Care
Birth is both a beautiful and traumatic event for you and your baby. Every birth experience is different and can have different effects on your baby. Chiropractic care can help with:
​
1. Latching issues and/or preference for one breast during breastfeeding.
2. Torticollis/Plagiocephaly (flat head)
3. Colic.
4. General fussiness.
5. Sleeping issues.
6. Digestion issues.
7. Ear aches
8. Developmental milestones (rolling, walking, sitting etc).
9. Tongue ties (pre and post surgical treatment).
​
Treatment for babies is drastically different than it is for adults. Limiting rotation in the spine, understanding how birth went and how the mom is currently doing are just a few guidelines to our care.
​
The force needed to produce an adjustment on a newborn is about the same as checking the ripeness of a peach or tomato.
When should I bring in my baby to see you?
We've seen babies as young as 3 days old! It really depends what your concerns are and your comfort level. If you have concerns about anything, sooner is better than later because some may be time sensitive (plagio/torticolis/tongue ties etc).
​
Wellness appointments are also very common to assess the whole body after birth if you are unsure what to look for. It's difficult to know what you don't know! If you have any questions about what your care would be like, please email info.thespinestudio@gmail.com
