Why should my newborn baby see a chiropractor?

This is a question we get often. Why should a perfect newborn baby see a chiropractor? A lot of  babies born in the United States are delivered either by a C-section, a forceps delivery, or vacuum extraction. It’s through these processes that a babies neck, or other area of their spine experience a lot of force and pressure. This causes a subluxation(spinal misalignment). When this happens it can cause dysfunction in the area that is misaligned. For example, if a baby is subluxated in the specific area that controls the Eustachian tube, it can directly result in an ear infection. The spine and Nervous System control every function in your body. The biggest gift you can give your precious baby is a healthy start to life. This is why it is so important to get your child/infant checked by a chiropractor and continue these checkups to remain healthy. 

There are definite times when we check infants after birth, and they aren’t subluxated.  It’s very important to continue these checkups throughout life, and especially important throughout the developing years of learning to crawl and walk. Chiropractic isn’t just for pain and ailments. Regular chiropractic care keeps you functioning at your best,  so you can live a vibrant life.
