Why might a baby benefit from Chiropractic care?
Babies can have issues too!
Do you know a baby who couldn’t latch on one side? Who cries a lot - more than feels normal. Or a child who hates being in certain positions - maybe they hate being in their car seat or hate tummy time. How about a baby who always turns their head one way or has developed a flat spot on their skull? Did you know that plagiocephaly (a flattening of the skull) has been shown to be linked to delays in learning - especially motor learning and co-ordination?
There are many tricks a parent can try at home to improve a baby’s neck range of motion or ease their pain however sometimes when these things are not working - a bit of specific attention can be of huge benefit. With techniques tailored to babies and children, we use gentle pressure, stimulate and optimise reflexes and can give you exercises and advice tailored to your precious child’s needs.
Parents notice everything and often your gut tells you when something isn't quite right. Trust your gut! and get the advice your baby deserves. Don’t let your concerns be pushed aside as you being ‘an over anxious parent’. When you notice issues early and begin getting the help your child needs early, changes are often achieved so much faster than if you keep waiting for your child to ‘grow out of it’.
