Nowadays people are more aware than ever that chiropractic care is quite essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Regular visits to your chiropractor can lead to significant improvements in wellness for adults. Most often people think that chiropractic care is just for adults. But that’s not so. Chiropractic care is also beneficial for infants and kids. You don’t have to be a grown-up to gain a wide range of advantages offered by chiropractic care. Infants, toddlers and young children can benefit from regular visits to pediatric chiropractors.
Most parents would need concrete reasons to convince them of the need for any preventive or proactive measures that can benefit their kid’s health. As you consider taking your child to a chiropractic clinic near your location, consider the following benefits of chiropractic care for infants.
- Realigning the spine – before babies are born, they adopt a fetal position for their entire process. The space in the womb gets cramped up as the due date for birth approaches. After birth, some kids may suffer slight vertebra misalignment that may hinder proper development and growth. Chiropractic care can correct the problem, even right after birth.
- Treating colic symptoms – the early months of child-rearing can be quite overwhelming when you have a colic child. A chiropractor that specializes in infant care can help treat colic symptoms, especially because the most common cause is a problematic gastrointestinal system resulting from a misaligned spine.
- Preventing and treating ear infections – fluid buildup and excessive pressure in the ears is common among children, which then leads to ear infections. Through chiropractic adjustments, Dr. D can help restore the functioning of the eustachian tubes to drain them from excessive fluids and pressure.
- Boosting the immune system – any problems in the nervous system affect the body’s immune system. When different body parts begin to malfunction, your child will have various health complications while in a lot of pain. Chiropractic care from Dr. Diana can help boost your child’s immune system, sometimes directly and other times indirectly.
- Increasing mobility – although it is a natural process of growth and development, some children have a difficult time with mobility than others. Your child may take longer to walk than is the standard period for other infants and toddlers. Chiropractic treatments can promote a range of motion, ensuring your child meets all the milestones in the correct timeline.
- Promoting proper development – children’s bodies change a lot in a short amount of time. The young bones grow, the spine doubles in size, and the neck and lower back curvatures start forming. All these developmental stages are important milestones that are necessary indicators of growth that may be affected if the spine is misaligned.
- Decreases the risk of injury – once your kid starts moving around, their risk of injury increases immensely. To treat and prevent injuries, you will need Dr. Diana’s help to overcome any spine or nerve strain.
- Improving eating tendencies – some infants struggle with breastfeeding and eating properly partly due to gastroesophageal reflux. Chiropractic care from Dr. D for children can aid in various digestive aspects, including relieving gas, alleviating abdominal pain, and promoting optimal intestinal functionality. All these will promote better eating for the baby.

Each time a chiropractor adjusts someone’s spine, we replace the negative information that is flooding the brain with positive information. This recalibrates the brain to help stop the release of chronic stress hormones and allows overall health and healing to occur. Every time a person receives a chiropractic adjustment, it positively affects the brain and nervous system. This positive effect on the brain promotes a state of ease and well-being within the body.
