As a new parent, you want to do everything to ensure your baby is healthy and comfortable. Your baby’s nervous system is key to their overall health and development!

A healthy nervous system is essential for optimal health and development. The nervous system controls everything in the body, from immunity to digestion. Chiropractic care can help ensure that your baby’s nervous system functions properly, and that’s why we suggest newborn adjustments for babies. 

If you’re looking for an effective, natural way to care for your baby, chiropractic may be the perfect solution! Bringing your newborn in for chiropractic adjustments is a great way to help them stay healthy and comfortable. The gentle, safe techniques used are specifically designed for their delicate bodies.

Here are some of the benefits of bringing your newborn in for chiropractic adjustments:

Newborn adjustments care can help relieve colic and gas.

Colic is a condition that affects up to 40% of infants. It is characterized by prolonged periods of crying, often for no apparent reason. This can be very frustrating and exhausting for both baby and parents! Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to be an effective treatment for colic. One study found that 64% of babies who received chiropractic care showed a significant reduction in crying time.

Newborns that are adjusted can sleep better.  

If your baby is struggling to sleep through the night, chiropractic care may be able to help. Newborns who receive chiropractic adjustments sleep an average of 2 hours longer per night. This can be a huge help for exhausted parents!

An adjustment may help your baby sleep more soundly and wake less often during the night. The quality of their sleep can also be improved, as they will spend less time in the lighter stages of sleep and more time in deep sleep.

Chiropractic care can help improve breastfeeding.

Many new mothers experience difficulties with breastfeeding. Painful nursing can lead to frustration and early weaning. Chiropractic adjustments can help resolve these issues by relieving pain and restoring proper alignment. This allows mother and baby to connect during feedings comfortably.

Proper alignment of the spine and pelvis is important for optimal breastfeeding. Chiropractic adjustments can help ensure that your baby is correctly positioned and able to latch on properly.

Chiropractic care can help boost the immune system.

Babies are especially susceptible to illness because their immune systems are still developing. Some research has shown that chiropractic care can help boost the immune system, which may help reduce the frequency and severity of illnesses.

Newborn adjustments are safe and gentle.

Chiropractic adjustments are very gentle and safe for newborns. The pressure used on a newborn is about the same that you would use to test the ripeness of a piece of fruit; very gentle!
