Starting at conception, a child’s body is being put under stress at every point, from developing in the womb to the point of delivery. Birth itself is a huge stress on an infant’s body, considering they are pushed and pulled with great force. This results in misalignments, stress and traumas on an already fragile body and nervous system. These stresses and traumas may result in dysfunction and a decreased immune response. Colic, chronic ear infections, failure to thrive are just a few common symptoms from birth traumas that chiropractic has been known to help with.

Newborn infants should be checked for vertebral subluxations hours after birth. The birth process, even under natural and controlled conditions, is potentially traumatic. During the pushing stage of labor, the spine, particularly the neck, may be subluxated as the baby is compressed and pushed down the birth canal. Although birth subluxations may cause immediate symptoms, such as respiratory problems, there may be far reaching effects that are manifested over years. The child’s ability to fight against disease, for example, may be lowered. Colds, ear infections, colic, and other illnesses may result.
