How Prenatal Chiropractic Care Helps Newborns and Babies
You don’t need a prenatal or pediatric chiropractor if you have a newborn baby that has no eating issues, discomforts (gas, bloating, grunting), and sleeps well. Just consider yourself very lucky. For many others, however, the first month of a baby’s life can be some of the most challenging and exhausting days and nights.
We believe that pediatric chiropractic care can help alleviate many newborn issues such as colic, breastfeeding issues, excessive spit up, acid reflux, irritability, and more. Dr. Waszak evaluates each baby and uses her “gentle touch” method to make spinal adjustments using only the tips of her fingers. This is considered both safe to the child and is often a good first step to address these issues.
How a Pediatric Chiropractor Can Help Your Kids
For Toddlers, exploring the world is a fun, new milestone that takes practice. Along the way, falling down is inevitable and causes spinal stress. Ever heard of growing pains? For some young children, they may feel aches in their joints and bones at night. A pediatric chiropractor has the experience to alleviate some of their pain as they grow with safe gentle adjustments suitable for kids.
In older kids, injuries and bad habits can have a lasting impact on a child’s health and growth. Pediatric chiropractic care can positively affect things including ear infections, constipation, bed wetting, text neck, pain from heavy backpacks, scoliosis, and growing pains. As mentioned throughout our site, we know that chiropractic treatment is beneficial for all stages of life including young and older children.
