*Chiropractic does not cure or fix existing problems or disease. Chiropractic adjustments simply remove interference to the nervous system so that the body can have a healthy immune system & heal itself without disruption.
For adults subluxations have usually been present for months-years, altering nerve function, posture, and muscle tone. For babies, correcting subluxations is a much simpler task.
- Taking a baby to get assessed by your chiropractor in the first months of life means a subluxation has only been present since the time of birth. This means less time is needed for correction and healing.
- Doctors of Chiropractic are primary care doctors trained to find and correct these misalignments, or subluxations, at all stages of life.
- Chiropractors use their littlest fingers to gently and efficiently correct misalignments in a baby’s small spine.
- Mom’s and chiropractors share a common goal when it comes to babies: We both want the baby to reach his/her developmental milestones naturally and with ease. Maintaining a healthy spine and nervous system is the most natural way (and the drug-free way) to help prevent developmental issues.
Many questions come with treatment of infants and children, so we suggest finding & consulting with a chiropractor that you trust and feel comfortable with.
