The purpose of infant chiropractic is to relieve spinal misalignment that may interfere with the nervous system.
The nervous system plays an important role in growth and development, and a healthy nervous system is essential to your child’s well-being and happiness.
The first subluxations, or misalignments of the spine can occur during pregnancy and or birth. This is especially common if there are interventions during labor and or a breech positioning.
Many adults experience back, joint and spinal problems that can be attributed to stress that the body has experienced during childhood. Infant chiropractic care attempts to mitigate future issues by taking care of spinal misalignment before your child has “grown in” to the problem and while their bodies are more primed to receive effective chiropractic adjustments.
Nursing + Tongue Ties
Does your baby struggle with:
- Inability to latch
- Poor weight gain
- Gassiness
- Reflux
These are a few common things we see with babies that have a tongue tie. Dr. Deborah is skilled at assessing the nervous system, palate and cranium. An imbalance of these structures will ultimately affect the babies ability to nurse.
Pediatric chiropractic care will identify and correct these imbalances so that there is less tension in the musculature and better function of the nervous system. Intraoral adjustments are extremely gentle and comfortable for infants! They will often relax and sleep right through it!
Book OnlineAdjustments for Tongue Ties
Chiropractic care for tongue ties and nursing usually involves intraoral work. The adjustments to the palate and cranium are often done inside the mouth. This will require Dr. Deborah to go into the infants mouth to perform the adjustments. Intraoral adjustments are extremely gentle and comfortable. Babies usually sleep right through it!
Nursing Support
Is nursing painful for you? Is baby latching properly? Is baby transferring milk? These are all things that we look for when we assess the latch.
Dr. Deborah is also trained in supporting moms with different breastfeeding positions and can help find positions that are comfortable for you and your little one for your nursing journey.
