As a parent, you want to give your little ones a healthy start in life, and our Houma-Thibodaux Spine & Rehabilitation team wants to help. Your newborn has already had quite a life. But, your little one is balled up inside the womb during pregnancy. And the closer you get to birth, the more cramped it gets. So, continue reading below to learn how vital chiropractic visits can be.

How a Chiropractic Appointment Can Help

During the birthing process, there is a push and pull to get the baby out. Your child will travel through a canal that can be a tight space. There are up to 70 lbs of pressure involved in the process.

Of course, this is natural, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t affect the little one. It can lead to spinal misalignment and compressed nerves. Your newborn can’t tell you that something is wrong, especially when they first make it through the birth canal.

Instead, you might notice that they cry more often than a newborn should. The effects can also show up through colic, trouble sleeping, ear infections, constant sickness, and even slowed physical development.

If these issues are not addressed, they can continue to cause problems for your baby for years to come. However, visiting our chiropractor for pediatric care can stop it and provide the following benefits.

• Promoting a healthy spine
• Releasing compression on nerves
• Easing colic or gastrointestinal problems
• Promote restful sleep
• Prevent ear infections
• Boosting the immune system

Is Chiropractic Pediatric Care Safe?

Chiropractors that provide pediatric care specialize in gentle treatment methods. You don’t need to worry about forceful adjustments. Everything at our office is done to benefit your newborn. We aim to provide pediatric care through massaging movements and the gentlest amounts of pressure.
