Children can benefit from chiropractic care even before they are born. A mother with a chiropractic lifestyle, along with a healthy diet, proper exercise and a stress free environment has a greater chance of delivering a healthy and happy baby.

As birth can be one of the most traumatic events we'll ever experience, the most important time to begin chiropractic care is as a baby. Chiropractic has long said 'You've never had a chance since birth'! Even so called 'natural births' can cause trauma to a developing spine and is often the cause of many baby health problems, such as colic, projectile vomiting, constant crying, inability to sleep, breathing/asthma problems and poor appetite, to name just a few.

The initial uncontrolled head movements and early falls cause subluxations to the baby's delicately developing spine. If neglected, the falls and traumas during this vital period of rapid growth and development can lead to serious spinal problems later in life such as scoliosis, 'growing pains' and a weakened immune system.

Many parents notice their children are healthier, happier and develop more quickly than non chiropractic children. Interestingly enough, the chiropractic problems found in adults usually began during childhood. Correct spinal hygiene, just as with dental hygiene, is an important key to better health.
