Chiropractic for Newborns

Last week, while blogging about how important it is for pregnant mothers to seek chiropractic, I kept finding myself wanting to talk about how important chiropractic care is for newborns as well. Chiropractic benefits for a newborn are much different than for a pregnant mother. This week, I’ll discuss why it is vital for newborns to see a chiropractor as soon as possible.

While children are developing, it is extremely important for them to receive regular spinal checks from a chiropractor. For example, the birthing process typically causes a newborn’s spine and neck to become severely misaligned. Without proper chiropractic care, this misalignment often results in nerve damage lasting into adulthood. In addition to preventing this risk for newborns, early chiropractic care helps with:

  1. Healthy Brain Development: the sooner your newborn’s spine and neck are realigned, the sooner your newborn’s brain can develop properly.

  2. Immune System Strengthening: newborns are highly susceptible to bacterial and viral infections. Chiropractic care ensures the immune system will develop and function properly.

  3. Sleep Pattern Regulation: realigning your newborn’s spine and neck will help your newborn to sleep more soundly, and you too!

There are more than just these three additional benefits. For newborns, chiropractic care is both safe and wise. If you have any specific questions, ask us in the comments below or give us a call!
