Infants & Children


A baby’s first year is full of growth — their own sunrise of development! Thousands of infants and children benefit from regular chiropractic care.

Reasons to seek chiropractic care:

Pediatric: newborn wellness assessments, torticollis, lip and tongue ties, oral motor function, feeding difficulties, gas, colic, constipation, reflux, plagiocephaly (flat spots), head tilt, body tension/arching, gross motor development delays, gross motor development optimization, retained primitive reflexes, headaches, wellness care.


Unless a child has an obvious problem it can be difficult for a parent to recognize when a child might benefit from care. Here are some signs which may encourage you to seek chiropractic care:

Infants

  • Does their left side move like their right side?
  • Does turning look the same on both sides?
  • Do they have restricted head or neck movement to one side?
