Take Your Baby to the Chiropractor
Newborns Gain Benefits from Chiropractic Treatments
Going to the chiropractor is considered normal among society for adults, but few people know that parents should be taking their babies to the chiropractor for regular adjustments. New research shows that newborns who go to the chiropractor have many health benefits including lower sleep disturbances, improve eating habits, lower ear infection rates, and increase the overall comfort of the baby.
Babies who do not receive adjustments from a chiropractor and are misaligned may affect eating habits, immune system, and neurological development. Misalignment can lead to
stress for a baby, which can lead to plenty of health disorders. According to Dr. Abraham Towbin from Harvard University, giving birth can often lead to a spinal injury to the baby, which
could tamper with the growth of the newborn’s brain. This could lead to serious problems for your newborn such as trouble breathing, delayed development, and more. A chiropractor can
adjust your newborn’s back and correct their spinal problem before deeper issues manifest.
Benefits of a Chiropractor for Infants
Research also shows that a chiropractor can help with a baby increasing white-blood cells in their body which will effectively boost their immune system Another key benefit of chiropractic care for your baby is the promotion of spinal elongation, which helps growth. Studies show that babies who have their spine adjusted by a chiropractor can grow up to 50 percent in the first year. Growth can be compromised if the child does not have their spine corrected.
Shaping your child’s spine is crucial, as the spine will
have its curves fully defined by three years of age. Reducing the babies stress creates less stress for you as a parent. When your baby gets more sleep, so do you. There is nothing worse than a crying baby that you can’t help. You try everything from rocking him, to giving him food and nothing seems to work. Maybe your child
is trying to tell you that they’re in pain. See a chiropractor and make sure that your child has a healthy spine to relieve their pain and reduce your stress.
Family Chiropractic Care – Infant Care
Not all chiropractic offices handle babies and children so before going, be sure to call ahead to ensure that your child will be seen and treated. Check out the office for yourself and make sure that it is a friendly environment. Meet the chiropractor to and talk to him/her about your child to know that your family is in good hands.
