Newborn/Baby - The Birthimpact on your Newborn's Body
The Birth Journey and Its Effects
The process of being born can be tough on your newborn's body. As your baby travels through the birth canal, they can experience pressure, stretching, and even some twisting. This can sometimes result in minor misalignments (subluxations) in their developing spine. Parents often observe and report their little ones facing issues like:
Acid Reflux: Frequent spit-up and discomfort.
Colic: Extended periods of crying and fussiness.
Ear Infections: Recurring infections that cause pain and irritability.
Sleep Issues: Trouble settling down or staying asleep.
How Paediatric Chiropractic Care Can Help
Paediatric chiropractic care offers a gentle and natural way to support your baby’s health. Our chiropractors are trained to work with infants, using very light pressure to assess and gently correct any spinal misalignments. This gentle approach can help with:
Improved Comfort: Reducing discomfort from acid reflux, colic, and ear infections.
Better Sleep: Helping your baby settle more easily and sleep more soundly.
Healthy Development: Supporting your baby’s overall health and reaching developmental milestones, such as rolling over, sitting up, and crawling.
What to Expect from a Visit
During a visit, our chiropractors will:
Assess: Carefully check your baby’s spine for any areas of tension or misalignment.
Adjust: Use extremely light pressure to gently correct any issues.
Support: Provide you with guidance and tips to support your baby’s health and development at home.
Your Baby’s Safety and Well-Being
Your baby’s safety is our top priority. The techniques used in pediatric chiropractic care are very gentle, resembling the pressure you might use to test the ripeness of a tomato. We aim to make the experience calming and beneficial for your baby.

Understanding Milestones and Complaints
Parents often worry when their baby faces discomfort or seems to struggle with reaching certain milestones. Some common concerns include:
Tummy Time Struggles: Difficulty lifting the head or seeming uncomfortable on their tummy.
Delayed Milestones: Slower progress in rolling over, sitting up, or crawling.
Chiropractic care can support these milestones by ensuring your baby’s spine and nervous system are functioning optimally, allowing them to move more freely and comfortably.
