As physically demanding as labor was for you (no one is denying that!), it was also stressful on your newborn. Not only do they have to deal with the shock of being thrust into a chaotic, bright, cold room, they also have the physical stress of being pushed or pulled through resistant tissue during the birthing process. And that can lead to some issues.
At Mitchell Chiropractic, we can’t do much for the first issue. But we can certainly help when it comes to the latter. Through gentle spinal adjustments, we can realign the spine of your newborn and reverse musculoskeletal issues caused by the birthing process.
We’re the newborn chiropractor of choice in Cambridge, Ontario. The science of chiropractic concerns itself with healing musculoskeletal and nervous system dysfunctions that cause pain and stiffness. Through gentle spinal adjustments, we can realign the spine of your infant and reverse musculoskeletal issues caused by the birthing process. You can trust our professionals to return your newborn to a state of physical well-being, so they’re ready to take on the world.
Wondering if chiropractic is the right choice for your newborn?
Newborns who experience muscle stiffness and have a misaligned spine can’t tell you about it. You may notice some of the overt symptoms (like a limited range of motion), but most will be too subtle to catch. For this reason, many parents do it as a precaution. In other cases, however, a trip to the chiropractor is fully warranted and in response to a specific issue—namely, torticollis.
Torticollis refers to a persistent head tilt in infants. It can be present at birth if acquired while in the womb (if their head is held in a strained position), or can develop post-birth as a result of injury, viral infection, or awkward sleeping position. In addition to causing your little one general discomfort, it can also result in issues with feeding. Using subtle ministrations along their spine, we can realign their vertebrae and bring them back to a place of comfort and wellbeing.
Whether you’re coming to us as a precaution or as a reactive measure, we’re available to help with newborn chiropractor services in Cambridge.
Is newborn chiropractic treated the same as adult chiropractic?
While the science behind it is the same, the execution is different. Your little one is incredibly delicate, and we are delicate when working with them. While you may associate chiropractic care with cracking and popping noises (likely due to ASMR videos on YouTube), we can assure you that your infant will not be subjected to that. All pressure applied during the chiropractic treatment will be incredibly light; no ministrations we employ will be rough enough to bruise the skin of a peach, let alone your newborn.
We take the utmost care when it comes to every client, and most especially our infant clients.
