Chiropractic offers a gentle and non-invasive, drug free form of care for babies. Babies too can benefit from chiropractic care. Birth can be a stressful event for babies whether by c-section of vaginally it may place stress and strain on their tiny bodies. This is accompanied by uncomfortable positions in car seats, strollers and carriers which additionally provide addition strain. 


When treatment is done on a baby the chiropractor uses techniques that are very gentle and differ from that that a adult may receive. The parent accompanies the minor at all times and very specific mobilizations and adjustments are applied only if needed. To someone observing the treatment it may look as if light pressure and massage is applied to certain areas of the babies body. The treatment is pain free and often babies even sleep during the treatment. Chiropractic for babies is aimed at simply supporting the babies nervous system to function optimally.
