Babies-detailed
We love kids! We see children of all ages, from newborns and all the way throughout childhood. We have a play area for children and always go out of our way to ensure that babies and children enjoy their experience at Happy Chiropractic.
Why Babies?
Pregnant mothers are usually very well informed and do all they can for the new arrival. Healthy eating, cutting out alcohol/cigarettes/drugs (prescription or other), exercising, seeing the chiropractor and other natural health practitioners. It is normal to hope for a natural, intervention and drug free birth. Unfortunately even the most natural birth and start to life can result in stress to such a delicate system.
It is this stress that is placed on the rapidly growing and developing baby that can result in a certain level of dysfunction. The most common signs of this dysfunction are excessive crying, wind that will not be passed from either end, constipation, reflux, regurgitation/vomiting, failure to latch or feed well, the list goes on. Most of these symptoms come from the newly developed digestive system, however the cause of these symptoms are commonly from abnormal neural control of the digestive system. The standard treatment from the GP is some variation of an ant-acid (Gaviscon etc) to ease the digestive discomfort, however if the neural cause of the dysfunction is not addressed then the problem will have more likelihood of persisting. This is where the chiropractor steps in.
Gentle Techniques
We are proficient at providing gentle chiropractic care, utilising cranio-sacral adjusting methods in many cases. We adjust carefully and precisely to maximise any neurological benefits.
Will an Adjustment hurt my baby?
We use low force adjustments with babies. Adjustment pressures are often so light that similar pressure could be placed on your eyeball with no discomfort.
It is common for babies to sleep through an adjustment in some cases.
If your baby cries during an adjustment it is very short lived and your baby will stop crying very quickly after their adjustment.
