Why Your Little One Can Benefit From Chiropractic Care

From birth to the first year of life, their little bodies undergo stress from the birthing process to conquering developmental milestones and everything in between. The birthing process, layered with complications [forceps, vaccum], malposition and duration of labor can place pressure on your little one’s spine, muscles and joints. As your little human grows and develops through their milestones, the spine transitions from a c shape to an s shape [tummy time - crawling - walking]. These structural changes and milestones lead to falls, bumps, and tumbles that can affect the bodies alignment and tissue tension. 

Using the lightest pressure, the wellness hub team will effectively assess and treat your little one [days, weeks, months or years old] to ease discomfort, tension and help support their growth and development.

Techniques include:

• Gentle soft tissue therapy 

• Joint mobilizations 

• Adjustments [a gentle finger pressure & hold] 

• Strength exercises and stretches

• Guide developmental milestones
