Cherishing Every Giggle, Supporting Every Wiggle.
Many people do not associate chiropractic care with infants. However, paediatric chiropractic care varies greatly from those used on adults. They use a modified, gentle approach (light pressure and massage), which is successful in helping babies transition to life outside the womb. Minor spinal and cranial problems may occur due to abnormal positioning in the uterus or a stressful delivery. We advise you to have your newborn checked as soon as possible after the birth.
Chiropractic is shown to help babies relax tight muscles, improve sleep, may reduce colic symptoms, and improve breastfeeding outcomes.
Difficulty breastfeeding
Only being able to nurse in certain positions
Digestive troubles such as colic, reflux and constipation
Intense dislike or distress during tummy time
Torticollis (condition in which the neck muscles contract, causing the head to twist to one side)
Asymmetry in cranial or facial bones
Difficulty holding up or turning the head and neck
Irritability and fussiness
Difficulty sleeping
Asymmetrical developmental milestones, such as repeatedly rolling over to one side only
Persistent postural habits or returning to a specific preferred position
Developmental delays, both motor and sensory
Hip dysplasia, club foot or other joint issues
Asymmetrical sitting patterns or "W" sitting.
Spinal dysfunctions can be caused by falls while learning to sit up, crawl and walk. We suggest bringing your baby for checkups as they reach new developmental milestones or after an accident or fall.
Children face a variety of new challenges when starting school, from prolonged sitting, stress from school work, extended time spent on electronics, and playing new sports. Chiropractic checkups will assist your child in developing to his/her best.
Chiropractic is a safe, non-invasive and drug-free solution to keep your child developing to their full potential.
