Your Baby’s Body Tells the Story

So many people in Viridian and North Arlington are shocked that chiropractors work with babies! But our tiniest ones have often had a recent difficult journey - out of mama’s pelvis. Their bodies hold sooo much tension - and show us so much about how they were born, or were stuck in utero.

Does she rest with her hand up by their head or face? Chances are she spent lots of time that way either on their way through the birth canal or before leaving it.

Does he prefer to turn their head only in one direction, or nurse well only on one side? That was likely how he got stuck in the pelvis.

Did she have a conehead after being born, and was it asymmetrical? That shows us if her neck was flexed, extended, tilted, or rotated coming through the canal.

Does he arch his back or fuss a lot when being on his back or tummy, or cry unless he’s held in a certain position? Yep, you guessed it, tension from coming through the canal.

Stork bites? Those come rubbing against the pelvis, either in utero or on the way out.

NONE OF THESE signs point to a “difficult baby”. All of them are the story the body tells about how they arrived.

Thankfully, this is a story we can rewrite. Dr. Erin has 20 years experience after being trained in the gentlest touches (to the head, groups of muscles, or with an ounce of pressure to the spine). She work with your baby’s nervous system to release the tension in the cranial bones, fascia, and neck muscles that got twisted or compressed during the birth process.  
Gentle pediatric chiropractic and cranial sacral therapy help your baby can have more ease - so things like feeding, sleep, tummy time, and putting them down can be less stressful as well.
