The Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Infants
Studies have shown that prenatal chiropractic techniques have an 80% success rate in avoiding unplanned cesarean section deliveries. So with all of the benefits of prenatal chiropractic care, new mothers should be aware that postnatal chiropractic care also has a lot of benefits. In the article below you will find the top three benefits of chiropractic care for infants.
1. Colic
Garden State Spinal Care is no stranger to taking care of babies, especially those suffering from colic. All babies cry, but babies suffering from colic tend to cry for no discernible reason (i.e they don’t need a diaper change or to be fed). It typically happens around the same time each day and can start a few weeks after birth. Although, it generally affects the child the most around four to six weeks of age. So what can a chiropractic specialist do for your child? Chiropractic care for infants is gentle, conservative, as well as highly successful in the treatment of babies with colic symptoms. Garden State Spinal Care strives to get to the root of the problem rather than simply masking it. With specific, gentle adjustments to correct any spinal alignment issues, you should begin to see improvement as pressure is relieved on the nervous system and it allows the body to function at peak operating standards. Chiropractic treatment is great for more than a colicky baby.
2. Ear Infections
You will likely recall memories of that painful pang in your ear and the familiar soreness that ear infections cause. Unfortunately, babies are slightly more susceptible to ear infections, middle ear infections to be more specific. So you might be wondering how a Clifton chiropractic care professional can help your child with ear infections. The answer, while fairly simple, might surprise you. Research would suggest that acute injuries to the spinal cord can lead to ear pain or ear infections, which is due to the lack of coordination between the ear and the brain. Your chiropractor at Garden State Spinal Care can help restore the connection and help provide your child with significant relief.
3. Breastfeeding
Bringing a life into the world is a daunting task no matter if it is your first or 6th child, and it is difficult enough without even when everything goes perfectly. According to, NPR, Three days after giving birth, 92 percent of new mothers said they were having problems breast-feeding. This can of course mean there are a variety of problems not limited to latching, nipple irritation, milk production, and more. So where can finding the right chiropractor help? A Clifton chiropractic care team will work as hard as they can to determine the cause of the breastfeeding or latching problem. Issues like these often trace back to undetected injuries to the spine. Your chiropractor at Garden State Spinal Care can help to restore the normal function of the baby and help you continue to breastfeed without any further complications! In addition to being great for pregnant moms, chiropractic care can be super beneficial to your baby’s health.
Whether it is for maintenance or improvement, the experts at Garden State Spinal Care, the Clifton Chiropractic center you can trust, will help keep your baby growing strong and healthy!
