Chiropractic Care & Babies
Perfect for growing healthy babies.
“Since birth, my baby has been dealing with a persistent sinus issue. For the past three months, both my baby and I have struggled to get more than an hour of sleep at a time. However, everything changed when my sister suggested Inspired Chiropractic. To my surprise and delight, after the first adjustment, my baby slept through the entire night. This incredible improvement motivated me to continue taking him for regular spine check-ups. Now, he’s a happy and healthy one-year-old boy. I am filled with immense gratitude and cannot thank Inspired Chiropractic enough for their invaluable help.”
1. Why Chiropractic care for babies?
Birth is tough work for both mothers and babies. There are a lot of pressures and forces being exerted onto your baby during her journey into the world. A recent study by Viola Frymann demonstrated that 90% of newborns suffered the effects of birth trauma: associated strains through the neck and cranial areas following birth, while the 10% of newborn babies had perfect, freely mobile cranial mechanisms.
2. What are some clear indicators to find a Paediatric Chiropractor?
(1) Baby head tilts to one side, even after you straighten it.
(2) Baby seems to have difficulty turning her neck to one side.
(3) Baby has difficulty settling down or sleeping soundly.

4. What can cause birth trauma in infants?
* Very long Labour
* The use of Pitocin to induce uterine contractions
* Pain medications
* Restricted maternal birthing positions
* Pulling or twisting on the head to deliver the infant’s body
* The use of forceps or vacuum extraction
* Cesarean delivery
5. What if we left it uncorrected?
This trauma continues to impact a baby’s spinal growth and development, reducing the healthy function of her nerve system. This can cause many health challenges later in life that could easily have been prevented. www.icpa4kids.com
6. Is Chiropractic safe for babies?
Yes! Chiropractors who care for infants use very specific and gentle adjustments. The amount of fingertip pressure used is the same as you would use to test the ripeness of a tomato. Most International Chiropractic Paediatric Association (ICPA) Chiropractors have taken advanced classes on specific techniques for infants.
