Attention new mom's and mom's-to-be: Learn about the many benefits of chiropractic care specific for your infants and toddlers (and even prior to delivery and after!)

Childbirth is traumatic
Before we go into the various benefits of chiropractic care for babies, it’s important to point out that unless the baby comes out untouched, the birthing process is a traumatic experience for them. As the doctor is assisting the mother, they sometimes must twist and pull on the baby as it comes out of the birth canal. No matter how careful they are, these forceful movements can unknowingly hurt the baby’s shoulder(s) or neck. This can cause them to grow crooked or be in such pain that they cry all the time.
We believe a chiropractor should be a big part of a baby’s life. In fact, as soon as baby and mom are mobile, the baby needs to be checked out by a chiropractor, like Dr. Diana, as soon as possible to ensure the baby is happy and functioning properly.

What are the benefits of a pediatric chiropractor?
It might not seem obvious, but studies have found that regular pediatric chiropractic appointments can be beneficial in boosting your child's brain development. It does this by reducing pressure on your bones and joints and well as the spine, enabling oxygenated blood and nutrients to reach and fuel the brain cells.
