Common Issues

Chiropractic care offers gentle, non-invasive solutions to a variety of common health issues that babies may face, supporting their development and overall well-being.

  • Colic and Excessive Crying

    Chiropractic adjustments can help relieve digestive discomfort and nervous system stress that often contribute to colic and excessive crying in infants​.

  • Sleep Disturbances

    Misalignments in the spine may interfere with sleep. Chiropractic care can promote better sleep by reducing discomfort and supporting nervous system function​.

  • Digestive Issues

    Babies with gastrointestinal discomfort, including reflux or constipation, can benefit from chiropractic care that improves nerve function and digestive health​.

  • Ear Infections

    Misalignments affecting the ear canal’s drainage system can lead to recurring ear infections. Chiropractic adjustments may help improve drainage and reduce infection frequency​.

  • Birth Trauma and Spinal Misalignments

    The birthing process can cause physical stress on a baby’s spine, leading to discomfort. Chiropractic care helps release this tension and supports healthy spinal alignment​.

  • Poor Immune Function

    Chiropractic care can help strengthen the immune system by ensuring proper nerve function, which plays a key role in immune responses​.

frequently asked questions

Your Questions Answered

How do chiropractors adjust babies?

Chiropractors use gentle, low-force techniques to adjust babies’ spines. These adjustments are much milder than those performed on adults, and they focus on relieving tension in the nervous system. The chiropractor will typically use their hands to apply light pressure or specific techniques that are safe and effective for a baby’s small body​.

At what age can I bring my baby to see a chiropractor?

Babies can typically begin chiropractic care shortly after birth. Many parents bring their babies in for an initial visit to address birth-related stress, such as misalignments caused by labor. Chiropractic care is designed to support healthy development from infancy onward, so the earlier the better, especially for prevention and early treatment of musculoskeletal issues​.

What should I expect during my baby’s chiropractic visit?

During a chiropractic visit, the chiropractor will perform a gentle evaluation of your baby’s spine and overall alignment. The visit is typically short, and the chiropractor may use light pressure to adjust your baby’s spine, focusing on areas where tension or misalignments are present. Most parents report their babies are calm and comfortable during the session​.

Can chiropractic care replace my baby’s pediatrician visits?

Chiropractic care should be considered a complementary treatment, not a substitute for regular pediatric check-ups. It’s always important to maintain routine visits with your baby’s pediatrician to ensure their overall health is monitored. Chiropractic care can support and enhance your baby’s development but should be used in conjunction with medical care​.
