Is Chiropractic Care Safe For Newborns?

One of the most common questions parents ask is whether chiropractic care is safe for infants.

The short answer is yes, when performed by a trained pediatric chiropractor, care is extremely gentle and specifically designed for babies.

Infant adjustments are very different from adult adjustments. Instead of forceful movements, chiropractors use light pressure that is often compared to the amount of pressure you would use to test the ripeness of a tomato.

Parents often bring infants in for concerns like colic, reflux, breastfeeding challenges, allergies, developmental delays, constipation, plagiocephaly/flat spots, and difficulty sleeping. These issues can sometimes be connected to tension in the nervous system.

Chiropractic care focuses on improving communication between the brain and body, helping babies function more comfortably.
