Infant Chiropractor in Cambridge, Ontario
At Mitchell Chiropractic, we know your little one is the center of your world. You’d do anything to make sure they’re free from physical discomfort and in peak physical shape. That’s why we offer infant chiropractor services in Cambridge, Ontario. Our team of professionals will gently and safely realign their joints so their body can function as its best.
Chiropractic services aren’t just for athletes recovering from sports injuries, desk-workers with chronic lower back pain, and seniors with stiff necks. Anyone, at any age, can experience spine and joint issues. And that’s a problem, because musculoskeletal dysfunctions often have global impacts on an individual's sense of wellbeing and the health of their body—even if they are less than a year old.
Infants may not be able to verbally tell you that they are in a state of discomfort, but they’ll experience the consequences of it just the same. That’s why it’s so important to pay attention to subtle signs that indicate musculoskeletal and nervous system dysfunction: digestive upsets, acid reflux, torticollis (persistent head tilt), sleeping difficulties, and trouble latching/breastfeeding are just a few things to watch for. These issues are often attributed to other causes (like simply having a ‘high maintenance’ or ‘colicky’ baby), but frequently stem from bodily dysfunctions that can be resolved by a licensed infant chiropractor.
Chiropractic care is aimed at restoring the body to a state of equilibrium, so it can function as it should. There are a number of benefits associated with seeing an infant chiropractor nearby, including:
A reduction in gastrointestinal issues causing colic
An improvement in nerve pathways, which in turn helps the immune system
Better sleep
Improved mobility
Perhaps the best benefit afforded by professional infant chiropractic care is the fact that it supports their overall growth and development. This won’t be as easy to detect as some of the benefits listed above, but it’s arguably the most important. Chiropractic care can restore your infant to a fully functional state after the demands of childbirth and ensure that the nervous system is operating as it should. Your infant is in a turbulent time filled with a lot of growth; ease the transition by having a chiropractor support them through their physical development.
Is there a difference between infant and adult chiropractic services?
In a word, yes. Chiropractic care for infants is particularly gentle, and adjustments may be needed that are less common in adults. Babies suffering from torticollis, for example, may need their neck massaged in order to relieve the pressure and strain. In order for the treatment to be effective, we recommend going to someone with experience in infant chiropractic care.
Is it safe?
If you’re hesitating to go to a chiropractor because you’ve seen online videos of someone's head being realigned, you can rest easy. At Mitchell Chiropractic we exercise a high level of care and delicacy with every client, including (and most especially with!) our infant clients. Every maneuver and manipulation we use is tailored to the infant body.
