Gentle Chiropractic Care for Your Little Ones
Your child’s nervous system controls everything—from eating and sleeping to growing properly. When babies struggle with feeding difficulties, sleep troubles, or irregular bowel movements, these may be signs that their nervous system could benefit from gentle chiropractic care. Dr. Craig understands how challenging it can be to watch your little one struggle, and he’s here to offer hope through natural care.
Why Children May Benefit from Chiropractic
While natural, the birthing process can be physically demanding on a newborn’s delicate spine and nervous system. As children grow, everyday activities like learning to walk, playground tumbles, and sleeping in awkward positions may contribute to spinal stress.
When the nervous system functions optimally, children often sleep better, eat more comfortably, and develop as they should. Many parents have found that gentle chiropractic adjustments may help their children with various concerns, though every child responds differently to care.
Experience An Incredibly Gentle Approach
One of the biggest concerns parents have is whether chiropractic care might hurt their child. Dr. Craig uses the same amount of pressure you’d use to touch your eyelid—incredibly light and gentle. There are absolutely no popping, cracking, or forceful movements involved.
Most infants and toddlers actually seem to enjoy their visits. Many giggle during adjustments, and parents often notice their children appear more relaxed afterward. If your toddler feels nervous, Dr. Craig may adjust them while playing on the floor, or you can hold your child during care.
Positive Changes Our Parents Often See
Based on our experience, parents frequently report positive changes after their children receive care, including improved sleep patterns, better bowel movements, and more comfortable feeding. One particularly memorable moment happened when Dr. Craig was adjusting a constipated infant—before he even left the room, the baby had a large bowel movement, much to mom’s relief!
We also love hearing from parents whose children return to normal activities. When kids start running, playing tag with siblings, and acting like typical, energetic children again, it reminds us why we do what we do.
