Newborns and Babies
During pregnancy and birth, a tremendous amount of stress is but on a baby’s body, spine and nervous system. If there’s stress on the nerves, it can contribute to problems such as:
- Sleep issues
- Colic
- Constipation
- Decreased immunity
- Ear infections
- Poor digestion
- Reflux
- Spitting up
During the first year of your child’s life, they roll over, lift their head, sit up, crawl and stand. Even if they don’t have any concerning symptoms after birth, regular chiropractic checks can make sure they hit all these important milestones.
The Gentlest Touch
Children and infants are delicate and so is our approach to their care. Craniosacral Therapy uses gentle touch – about the weight of a nickel- to release tension deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction.
