It is not uncommon to hear various health practitioners say ‘don’t worry, a lot
of babies get these problems’. Well you will be pleased to know that most of these
conditions can be helped quickly and successfully by chiropractic without needing
to take medication at such a tender age.
It can be an extremely stressful time if your new born is unhappy and in pain and
so having an experienced and reassuring practitioner to help you through it is invaluable,
particularly for first time parents. When a baby presents at three months old still
showing symptoms of the colic that you were told would clear up on its own, it can
be quite upsetting to find there might have been a solution when it first started.
We use gentle massage and muscular releases together with cranial work so gentle
that when babies arrive asleep, they often don’t wake up during the treatment. Some
of the conditions we can help are colic, constipation, reflux, sleeping / feeding
difficulties and general grizzliness or unexplained crying.
If you would like to know more about chiropractic and how it could benefit your
child, please call us and an experienced chiropractor would be happy to discuss
any concerns you may have.
