Babies and chiropractic
You do so many things to ensure your baby's health: during pregnancy you eat right; you avoid cigarettes, alcohol and all drugs (even aspirin, cold, flu and other over-the-counter medications can damage your unborn child or cause problems in pregnancy).
You educate yourself so you may have a natural, drug-free birth. After the baby arrives you breast-feedknowing that is the superior form of nutrition; in short, you do everything you can to make sure your baby is healthy.
But have you had your baby's spine checked? How do you know if your child's spine is healthy? An unhealthy spine can affect your child's health for his/her entire life. Your doctor of chiropractic is specially trained to check your child's spine for areas of distortion causing nerve damage - the vertebral subluxation complex (subluxations/misalignments).
With the birth process becoming more and more an intervening procedure, the chiropractic adjustment becomes even more important to the child's future. - Larry Webster, D.C.
For Over a hundred years...
For over a hundred years doctors of chiropractic have observed the often dramatic responses of infants after chiropractic care. In fact, there seems to be no limit to the conditions that can respond to chiropractic care: colic 11, difficulty breast-feeding 2 Erb's palsy (an arm is limp and undeveloped)3, torticollis (twisted neck) 44, unbalanced face and skull development 5, foot inversion 6, "nervousness" and ear, nose and throat infections 7, allergies and sleep disorders 8, projectile vomiting 9 and many, many other conditions. See References below.
Give your baby the best possible chance to have a healthy life. You have your baby's eyes checked, heart checked, hearing checked - bring all your children in for a chiropractic spinal checkup. A simple checkup now might make a BIG difference for your children for the rest of their lives.
