How does it work?

Chiropractors use very gentle and specific fingertip pressure on newborns with the adjustment individually tailored to the baby’s spine.   Children are much more receptive to chiropractic treatment and usually require only a few adjustments to restore normal function.

A Doctor of Chiropractic does not treat conditions or disease.  Instead, their expertise lies in checking the child’s spine for misalignments that impair nerve system function which in turn affects overall body function.

How often should my child get adjusted?

Adjust a healthy baby once a month or during any milestone such as holding up their head, sitting, crawling or walking.  If your baby gets a cold or you notice a change in sleep or behavior, it might also be a good time to get them checked.

Starting your baby off with chiropractic care gives them a strong foundation.  Children who are adjusted regularly benefit from a stronger immune system, better sleep, improved energy, concentration and behavior.
