Welcoming a new baby into the world is a whirlwind of emotions, love, joy, and often, many questions. One question parents sometimes ask is whether chiropractic care is appropriate for newborns. The answer is yes, and when done by a chiropractor trained in pediatric care, it can be a gentle and supportive experience for your baby.
Birth, even in the most ideal circumstances, is a physically intense process for both mother and child. As your baby enters the world, they may experience pressure and compression, especially in the neck and upper spine. Gentle chiropractic adjustments, often using no more pressure than you’d use to check the ripeness of a peach, can help ease that tension.
We always begin by observing and listening. Every baby is different, and we take time to understand their birth story, their feeding patterns, and how they move and rest. The adjustment itself is quick and often soothing; many babies sleep right through it!
Parents are encouraged to stay close, holding or soothing their baby throughout the visit. We want everyone to feel comfortable and confident. Our space is designed to be welcoming, calm, and supportive for the whole family.
Get Started Today
Starting care early can set a foundation for healthy development. While we don’t chase symptoms, we do look for ways to support natural movement and relaxation in the baby’s body. For many families, that first visit is the beginning of a longer journey of wellness and connection.
