The BEST Time to Start Chiropractic Care is at Birth. The Second Best time is NOW!

According to a recent study by Viola Frymann, an American osteopathic doctor, she studied over 1500 babies periodically over an 8 year period. She examined all babies within the first 5 days with most being checked within the first 24 hours. She found that 90% of babies had cervical and/or cranial strain at birth. Yikes!

Birth is tough work for mothers and babies. There are a lot of forces being exerted onto baby even in the most natural of births. Natural forces are one thing, but today, medical intervention is an added stressor to the birthing process whether it be induction with chemicals, medications during pregnancy and just after birth, tools for extraction, fear based care, disempowerment to mother, etc. etc. These cause trauma to baby and mother physically, emotionally, and chemically adding even more stress to the spine and nervous system. The good news is that chiropractic care can help heal those traumas immediately. By receiving chiropractic care from birth, these issues can be addressed early, promoting proper spinal alignment and nervous system function as the child grows.

Starting chiropractic care at birth also sets the foundation for good health and wellness throughout the child's life. By ensuring that the spine and nervous system are functioning optimally from the beginning, parents can support their child's overall well-being and potentially prevent common childhood issues such as colic, ear infections, feeding problems, tongue ties, ADD/ADHD, migraines, developmental delays, and so much more.

Additionally, chiropractic care for infants is gentle and specifically tailored to the child's size and stage of development. Chiropractors who specialize in pediatric care are trained to use gentle techniques that are safe for infants, making it a suitable and effective option for promoting their health and comfort.

In conclusion, beginning chiropractic care at birth can provide infants with a solid foundation for overall health and development, address any potential issues early on, and support their well-being as they grow.

If it waaaaay beyond your birth, no worries! The next best time to start is now!
