The idea of a chiropractor performing spinal manipulation on a child may seem daunting for most parents, but in this article on Modern Alternative Health, writer Jackie Scrivanich shares her experience about taking her newborn babies to get adjusted.
Here are some of the reasons she listed:
1. Better sleep.
Chiropractic care promotes better sleep in adults as well as in babies too. Since babies are unable to communicate any discomfort that they might have, your chiropractor can help ensure that your baby gets a good night sleep. You’ll have your share of sleep too!
2. Correct misalignment during birth
Babies can go through birth trauma. To make sure that their little spine is aligned and does not cause them any tension, bring your baby to a chiropractor. Misalignment is especially noticeable when babies have trouble in breastfeeding on one, or worse, on both sides.
3. Children move around a lot.
Toddlers run around, climb obstacles, pull themselves, and move all over the place just like all kids do. There will always be a tendency for them to stretch their little bodies to the limit, which can hurt them and lead to distress. Regular visits to the chiropractor ensure that their fragile bodies are in good condition for rough play.
