Newborns Benefit From Pediatric Chiropractic Mill Creek Geneva

By Arthur Albao


To most people, taking a baby to see a chiropractor may seem like a bad idea given the delicate nature of their tiny bodies. It could even be uncomfortable watching their little spines being manipulated. The doctors practicing pediatric chiropractic Mill Creek Geneva are specially skilled at attending fragile infant bones and joints, and may opt to utilize special instruments to gently adjust tender vertebrae.

During the birthing process, a baby has about 150lbs of pressure upon its neck. Passing through the birth canal is filled with twisting and contorting that can easily result in vertebral misalignment and irritation of neck and skull nerves. Subluxation can decrease the amount of blood flowing to the body's organs and tissues. Problems may not become evident until after a visit with a chiropractor, as the natural flexibility of an infants spine does not result in the same pain adults experience.

The American Chiropractors' Association suggests that pediatric chiropractic care for newborns can help with chronic ear infections, constipation, immunity disorders, difficulty nursing, failure to thrive and asthma or allergies. It can also help your baby with trauma recovery including a difficult birth.

Newborns with subluxations may experience more colic, attention issues, and learning challenges. It has also been suspected that in some extreme cases of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, a pinched nerve near the skull could be a factor. Other circumstances that could result in subluxation include resting in an improper position while in utero, or birthing tools being used in either a C-section or natural delivery.

This type of care for newborns includes a thorough examination of the spinal vertebrae, which is not typically performed by Western pediatricians. An infant can greatly benefit from being examined by a chiropractor within two weeks of their delivery. The subluxations responsible for long term issues may not be as noticeable as the bones begin to harden, and can pose difficulties in discovery the cause of certain problems in the future.

If left untreated, kids can develop frequent sore throats, back pain and even scoliosis.
