Baby’s First Year
The Most Important Time
In the first years of life, a baby’s physical and neurological development progresses at the highest rate of their entire lives. Occasionally, some of those intricate and important stages of development and new skills don’t come along as planned. This is stressful for the baby, but also on the parents, and interferes with life for the rest of the family.
Challenges for Infants
As with people of all ages, the function of the spine and nervous system is intricately linked with the proper functioning of all other body systems. The modern birth process, other traumas, as well as congenital anomalies can offer up many ways in which normal spine and nervous system function are compromised. This can lead to an array of challenges for a baby in this crucial time.
The trained doctors at DBC offer support in areas such as feeding challenges in breastfeeding, bottle-feeding and solids, milestone delays, torticollis and plagiocephaly, issues with low muscular tone, and other neuromusculoskeletal challenges.
We Work Together
As we work to re-establish normal function of the spine, nervous system, cranial structure and the associated soft tissues, the baby can often achieve success in those lagging milestones.
In addition to our skilled and knowledgeable in-house team, we work with a large community of local providers, and when necessary, can help parents navigate the best holistic approaches to get optimal results, through referral, collaboration and co-management.
Gentle and Specific Care
Chiropractic care during this time is vastly different that it would be for adults, or even older children. We tailor their gentle and specific care to them, so that they can safely get the care they need to overcome their challenges and thrive.
This isn’t the time for cracks and pops, as there are far simpler and more gentle approaches that are appropriate for infants and babies. We make sure they get the care they need, while we respect their individual needs.
The best time to start chiropractic care is at birth. The second best time is now. After all, it is far easier to grow healthy kids than to repair broken adults.
