Children & Babies
Do Children & Babies Need Chiropractic care?
Spinal misalignments and loss of the normal spinal curves are caused by the stresses of everyday life and usually start in childhood. Slips, falls, sitting for long hours in school or at devices, sports, and carrying heavy book bags all play a role. In fact, the birth process itself is the first stress on a baby's spine, with 120-520 mm Hg of pressure on the baby's head during birth. Right from the start of life baby's can have spinal misalignments that can affect their ability to nurse properly, sleep well and can lead to colic and irregular bowel movements.
​
As baby's grow up into toddler's and start learning to walk, falls are inevitable! In fact, the average toddler falls 15-20 timer per hour! As children continue to grow up and are involved in sports, activities, and schoolwork; stress is bound to build up in their little bodies and spines. This is why we recommend that all kids get their spines checked. A healthy spine and nerve system leads to a healthier and happier child, and helps them thrive at all they do.
