To most people, taking a baby to see a chiropractor may seem like a bad idea given the delicate nature of their tiny bodies. It could even be uncomfortable watching their little spines being manipulated. The doctors practicing pediatric chiropractic Mill Creek Geneva are specially skilled at attending fragile infant bones and joints, and may opt to utilize special instruments to gently adjust tender vertebrae.

The process of being born places about 150 pounds of pressure on a baby's neck. They must twist and contort to make their way through the birth canal, which can irritate the nerves of the skull and neck, causing vertebral misalignment. This is called subluxation which could result in less blood flowing to tissue and organs throughout their body. As infants do not experience the same type of pain as adults due to the extra flexible nature of their spine, problems may not be immediately evident without an examination from a chiropractor.

The American Chiropractors' Association suggests that pediatric chiropractic care for newborns can help with chronic ear infections, constipation, immunity disorders, difficulty nursing, failure to thrive and asthma or allergies. It can also help your baby with trauma recovery including a difficult birth.

Newborns with subluxations may experience more colic, attention issues, and learning challenges. It has also been suspected that in some extreme cases of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, a pinched nerve near the skull could be a factor. Other circumstances that could result in subluxation include resting in an improper position while in utero, or birthing tools being used in either a C-section or natural delivery.

pediatric chiropractic includes an examination of the newborn's vertebra that most Western pediatricians do not perform. It is beneficial, therefore, to have your baby examined by a pediatric chiropractic within the first two weeks following delivery. Pinched nerves and other issues that can cause lasting issues may not be noticeable later on and can make future discovery of any problems much tougher.

Scoliosis, back pain, and frequent sore throats, may affect untreated children as they grow.
