Chiropractic Care for Tots and Toddlers | Power Chiropractic

“It’s often said that new parents can expect some sleep loss during the initial months after their baby’s birth. However, if both you and your precious newborn are experiencing sleep disruptions simultaneously, it may be prudent to explore the reasons behind your baby’s unique sleep patterns. Read along as Power Chiropractic explores pediatric chiropractic care and how Dr. Miguel Toro can provide solutions that will help parents and newborns achieve restful nights.

Sleep patterns for newborns can be very dynamic and unpredictable, however, if a healthy baby cries for a long period of time for no apparent reason, it might be a sign of infantile colic. When newborns are fussy, it might be frustrating and stressful for parents, which may cause both parents and newborns to lose some sleep. But did you know that a simple trip to a chiropractor can help ease your baby’s fussiness, allowing you to finally have a good night’s sleep?

In a 2021 study as reported by The Washington Post, researchers in Denmark conducted a randomized, controlled trial of chiropractic care that studied 185 colicky babies. The chiropractors used light pressure treatments on the baby’s spine or neck, depending on where the child’s movement appeared to be restricted. Studies suggested that the babies treated with chiropractic care seemed to cry less, backed by parents who take their babies to chiropractors. At Power Chiropractic, chiropractic care for infants and toddlers are safe and non-invasive, using only a slight pressure as Dr. Miguel Toro works his way through.

A misalignment in the cervical (neck) spine can potentially contribute to Infantile Colic, and it is important to note that chiropractic care on infants can be potentially harmful if performed by unqualified individuals. However, Dr. Toro at Power Chiropractic has years of experience in pediatric chiropractic care, handling even the fussiest babies. Chiropractic care for infants and even toddlers help in balancing the child’s nervous system, revitalizes their immune system, and promotes a healthier sleep cycle. In addition, chiropractic care also helps reduce asthma, ear infections as well as allergies.

Every second of a baby’s sleep is precious.
