When do you want to think about getting your infant adjusted? Well, we think all babies and children should at least get a Chiropractic check-up to see if anything is affecting their ability to live and grow to their full potential. Children don’t typically complain of pain or issues until an irritation to their nervous system has been going on for many years. Sometimes, symptoms can give clues that there might be something wrong at the level of their spine and nerves. Examples include colic, reflux, constipation, trouble sleeping or trouble breastfeeding.
These are the major milestones that warrant taking your child into a chiropractor:
1. Immediately after birth
2. On holding up his or her head
3. When able to sit alone
4. When starting to crawl
5. When standing alone
6. On taking his or her first step
These six events are the occasions during the first year or so of life where a new baby is undergoing the most change and where they have the highest chance of developing stress on their spine and nervous system. Think about how many falls your little cutie takes while learning to walk! A healthy child is a well-adjusted child. Start your child’s first year with the chiropractic advantage!
