Arrowhead Clinic Explains How Babies Benefit From Chiropractic Care

Atlanta, Georgia -

Arrowhead Clinic, a chiropractic clinic in Atlanta, Georgia, has announced that they have recently released a blog post on how how babies benefit from chiropractic care. The article is titled, “How Babies and Infants Can Benefit From Chiropractic Care.” They point out that not only is chiropractic care safe for babies but it can actually help them in their growth. It is quite common for babies to have some health problems while they are growing, and a chiropractor can help alleviate those conditions.

Johnny Brown, a spokesperson for Arrowhead Clinic, says, "Babies experience musculoskeletal pain from day-to-day bumps, falls, and postural strain, and they can suffer various injuries to the neck, ankles, knees, back, and shoulders. These are injuries that adults also experience and visit their chiropractor to treat.”

He continues, “Chiropractors tailor their treatment for kids to take into consideration their age, developmental stage, and size. Treatment plans typically include soft tissue therapy, gentle joint mobilization, or manipulations.”

The article describes the various ways that babies can benefit from chiropractic care. These include the fact that chiropractic care can boost recovery after birth; enhance the immune system; decrease colic pain; reduce fussiness; support physical development; and help with ear infections.

A chiropractor can perform gentle manipulations in certain areas of the baby’s body to help ease tension and strain after birth. Any nerve problems that can arise from natural birth or a C-section can also be corrected. A chiropractor can also help boost the baby’s immune system through the correction of spine misalignment. This is because such a misalignment can irritate the nerve pathways, affecting the immune system. Research has shown that a few spinal adjustments can make the body better in releasing disease-fighting cells.

A chiropractor can also reduce colic symptoms experienced by babies through the correction of any misalignments to the spine. And as the baby grows, secondary curves of the spine form like the neck curvature and the lower back curvature. Without proper alignment, these spinal curvatures might fail to develop properly and this could slow down the baby’s physical development.

Several studies have also shown that chiropractic treatment can help reduce fussiness and irritability in babies. This is because the fussiness could be caused by mechanical restrictions in the baby’s spine.

It is also possible that the tube that drains the middle ear from excess fluids can become blocked because of colds, allergies, or multiple sinus infections. This can result into an ear infection. By applying gentle manipulations on the vertebrae of the upper neck, the tube can be dilated to help drain the middle ear. It is also important to consult a pediatrician because the infection might need to be treated with antibiotics.
