Most people don’t even think of getting chiropractic care for their newborn or infant. At Battle Born Chiropractic we believe it is essential for babies to be checked by a chiropractor after they are born. Being born is tough work, there are a lot of pressures and forces being exerted onto your baby during their journey into this world. Chiropractic care for infants is very gentle. Dr. Rachel uses no more pressure than you would use to check the ripeness of a tomato.

We know that during the first year of a baby’s life their spinal column will grow 50% in length. At no other time does this growth happen at such a rapid rate, so it is very important to make sure your baby is in proper alignment.

Some signs your baby could be giving you that could benefit from chiropractic adjustments:

• Difficulty latching

• Sleeping issues

• Colic

• Excessive spitting up

• Torticollis

• Constipation

• Failure to thrive

• Difficulty crawling and walking

• Decreased immune system

The optimal time for a child’s first chiropractic check-up is right after birth. The earlier the nerve system interference is found and adjusted, the better chance your child has to adapt to its new environment and develop optimally. If your child has never had a chiropractic check-up, it is never too late to start. Call and book an appointment for your family today!
