  • Support a Healthy Spine & Nervous System for Milestones – A well-aligned spine helps your baby’s nervous system work optimally — which plays a big role in hitting developmental milestones like tummy time, rolling, crawling, and sitting. Chiropractic care helps keep your baby’s spine balanced, so they can grow and develop as they should.
  • Address Birth Trauma & Tension – Even a smooth delivery can create tension in a baby’s neck or spine — especially with long labors, forceps or vacuum assistance, or C-sections. Gentle adjustments can help ease this stress and restore proper alignment for more comfort and easier movement. (Sources: ICPA)
  • Support Latching, Tongue & Lip Ties – Some babies struggle with nursing due to tightness in the neck, jaw, or mouth — or conditions like tongue or lip ties. Chiropractic adjustments can help improve range of motion in the neck and jaw, supporting a stronger, more comfortable latch.
  • Help with Reflux & Healthier Digestion – A misaligned spine can interfere with nerve signals that affect digestion. By restoring balance to your baby’s spine, chiropractic care may help the digestive system work more efficiently, which can aid in managing reflux and improve overall gut comfort. (Source: ICPA)
  • Aid with Colic & Reduce Ear Infections – Some families report that chiropractic care helps ease colic symptoms by supporting better digestion and calming the nervous system. Gentle adjustments can also help improve drainage in the ears, which may decrease the frequency of ear infections in some children. (Source: ChiroHealthUSA)

Is Chiropractic Care Safe for Babies?

Yes — when performed by a chiropractor trained in pediatrics, care is extremely gentle. Adjustments for infants use light fingertip pressure, about the same as checking a tomato for ripeness — with no forceful twisting or cracking.
