Babies & Chiropractic

Yes, birth is powerful, beautiful and a true testament to the miracle of Life. But birth is also stressful for the infant. It is very common for babies to experience some type of cranial and/or nervous system trauma from all the forces (the yanking, squeezing, twisting, pulling, and pushing) during the birth process. Even the slightest misalignment (subluxation), can be detrimental to the health and development of the baby. This can later cause many behavioral, developmental and health challenges in life that could easily have been prevented through pediatric chiropractic care.

Common Signs a Baby should get checked by a Chiropractor:

  • allergies

  • asthma

  • birth trauma

  • breastfeeding and latching issues

  • chronic infections

  • constipation

  • colic

  • digestive stress

  • ear aches

  • irritability

  • reflux

  • sleep disturbances

  • infant torticollis

Chiropractic adjustments free up interference in the nervous system which often results in the relief of symptoms, such as those mentioned above.  However, It is important to understand that chiropractic does not treat conditions or symptoms.  

Rather chiropractic addresses and adjusts the root of the cause, supporting the healthy function of the nervous system , which allows the body the optimal opportunity to heal from within.  Babies and children are adjusted very differently then adults.  We use a combination of gentle light touch techniques to facilitate greater ease and expression in the body's of infants and children.

We encourage all our families to have their newborns checked for subluxation (nervous system interference). Not all subluxations are symptomatic therefore it is imperative that all newborns be checked for subluxation by a chiropractor.   

Testimonial

“If I could, I would give Dr. Sura 10 stars out of 5. My experience with her has been nothing short of life-changing. As a first-time mom, I was at my wit’s end when my 15-month-old son continued waking up in the middle of the night, screaming in pain. We had seen doctors, and all I heard was “sleep training,” but I knew deep down it wasn’t just a typical cry—it felt like he was suffering. I finally trusted my mother’s instinct and took him to Dr. Sura. From that first visit, everything changed. His sleep improved, his walking (he used to tiptoe) got better, and his mood transformed. It gave me the courage to seek out an adjustment for myself. There’s so much more I could share, but the truth is—this has been a gift. I truly wish more moms knew they don’t have to suffer in silence. There is hope, and there is healing. Thank you, Dr. Sura, for giving me back my peace and helping my son find relief.” - Annubha P.
