When you think about Chiropractic care, you’re likely not thinking about booking an appointment for your baby. But you’d be surprised to learn how much this treatment can benefit your infant, starting as early as the newborn stage. From relieving tension to improving sleep, here are four ways Pediatric Chiropractic care can benefit your baby:
Pediatric Chiropractic Care Can Help Ease Colic
Chiropractic care is extremely efficient in treating symptoms of colic, and reflux in infants. A 3-month long scientific study conducted in 2012 established that chiropractic care may help treat colic. In the study, fully 94 percent of the subjects experienced improved colic symptoms. With proper adjustment, a kaе̄r Pediatric chiropractor is able to relieve the pressure your little one is experiencing bringing colic relief for your baby.
Pediatric Chiropractic Care Can Help With Baby Sleep
Many times pain or discomfort in the spine can cause babies to be so uncomfortable that sleep becomes interrupted. Infant chiropractic care may help to ease discomfort and help settle babies sleep patterns allowing baby to sleep better.
Pediatric Chiropractic Care Can Help With Breastfeeding
Issues with latching or maintaining a latch could be a result of your baby feeling pain or discomfort with the feeding position. A kaе̄r Pediatric chiropractor can gently correct misalignments at the top of the neck so your baby can more easily turn their neck, making latching on both sides more comfortable. Jaw and neck tightness can be relieved by gentle yet effective chiropractic treatment on your baby. Our chiropractic team also works alongside our lactation consulting team to help you overcome breastfeeding challenges.
Pediatric Chiropractic Care Can Help With Baby Flat Head Syndrome
Have you noticed that your baby tends to look to one side more than the other? This preference may indicate that your baby has tight neck muscles or restricted joints. Neck restriction can also lead to flat spots at the back of the head. A kaе̄r Pediatric chiropractor will gently adjust your baby’s spine relieving pressure. This is done incredibly softly with only an extremely light amount of pressure applied. Bringing in your baby to see a chiropractor will help loosen any neck tension and help encourage proper range of motion.
When considering chiropractic treatments, it’s normal to have questions, especially when it comes to children. We want you to rest assured in the knowledge that our a team of chiropractic doctors work with infants, babies and children every day. Pediatric chiropractic care is safe, gentle and provided by registered chiropractic doctors who have training and experience specifically with newborns, babies and children. But the best part of the treatment is the relief you and your baby will feel from the released tension that will help improve their sleep, feeding and movement.
