Why would someone bring their infant to a chiropractor? Well, you likely got your first subluxation simply by being born! The amount of force often used to get a baby out of the womb, whether vaginal or C-section, is more than enough to cause subluxation.

Dr. Godfrey Gutmann, a German medical doctor, conducted a study of over 1,000 newborns and found that over 80% of infants suffered trauma to their cervical spine (neck). Other studies have shown that 95% of infants have vertebral misalignments after birth.

“Chiropractic care has been shown to help infants with breastfeeding and latching.”

- Journal of Pediatric, Maternal, and Family Health, 2019

“Infants with recurring ear infections found relief with chiropractic and had significant improvements in mental development, flexibility, sleep, coordination, and decrease in cold and allergy symptoms.”

Adjusting a newborn or infant is safe and gentle. It often simply involves light finger pressure and a passive range of motion. Check out the video on this page to see Dr. Jen performing adjustments on a one month old, and an almost one year old so you can see for yourself just how gentle it is.

Chiropractic care starting in infancy is one of the best health insurance measures you can provide your child. It ensures that they are growing and developing properly, to their fullest potential. Imagine how much better of our children could be if they were expressing 2% more potential over the course of their lifetime by simply getting adjusted! There is a saying in chiropractic that says that the two best days to start chiropractic are the day you were born, or today!
