Newborn Chiropractic.
Dr. Lou uses gentle chiropractic techniques that are specifically designed for babies and young children.
Services.
Our approach is tailored to the unique needs of your little one and involves no manipulation-style adjustments or "cracking" of the joints. During your first visit, we will conduct a thorough head-to-toe checkup, including reflex tests, measurements, and milestone checks to ensure optimal health. We will also assess joint movements for flexibility and symmetrical movement, all while working within the tolerance level of your child and explaining our findings and potential solutions.
We commonly see a range of issues in babies and young children, including irregular head shape, difficulty feeding or latching, sleeping with the head turned to one side only, irritability, recurrent ear infections, broken sleep, constipation, crying when placed in a car seat.
Some babies may also experience failure to achieve age-appropriate milestones.
In addition to these issues, we also address retained primitive reflexes, which are neonatal reflexes that are designed to help infants thrive and survive. When these reflexes fail to integrate into the brain stem, they can lead to problems with feeding, posture, and milestones. Retained primitive reflexes can be caused by factors such as foetal positioning, premature birth, birth injury, caesarean section, or chronic ear infections. At our practice, we take a holistic approach to care, and we will work with you and your child to address any issues and achieve optimal health and development.
