Those early weeks with your little one are precious—but they can also be challenging. If your baby seems fussy, spits up often, struggles to latch, or isn’t sleeping well, you’re not alone. Birth and early development can place stress on a baby’s delicate spine and nervous system, sometimes leading to issues like reflux, gas, colic-like fussiness, or head-turning preferences.
At Lifeway Chiropractic and Wellness, we offer gentle, natural care to help your baby feel more comfortable and thrive during this important stage of life.
What Is Infant Chiropractic Care?
Infant chiropractic care is a gentle, hands-on approach designed to reduce tension and support healthy nervous system function. Adjustments use only light fingertip pressure—about the same as you’d use to check the ripeness of a tomato. There’s no twisting, cracking, or forceful movement. Most babies relax, coo, or even drift off to sleep during their visit.
Why Babies May Need Care
Every baby’s journey is different, but some common reasons parents bring their little ones in include:
- Birth stress from long labors, C-sections, or instrument-assisted deliveries
- Feeding challenges related to tongue or lip ties, or difficulty latching
- Favoring one side or flat spots developing on the head
- Reflux, gas, or constipation that cause fussiness or discomfort
These patterns can create tension that affects how your baby feeds, digests, and rests.
How Gentle Chiropractic Care Can Help
By improving spinal mobility and calming irritation in the nervous system, chiropractic care may support:
- Easier, more comfortable feeding
- Calmer tummies with less gas or reflux
- Better, more restful sleep
- Healthier ear drainage and fewer ear infections
- Improved comfort during tummy time and in car seats
Care You Can Trust
Apple Valley Chiropractor Dr. Pam Hadler has provided family-centered, wellness-based care since 1998. Certified in the Webster Technique and trained in Craniosacral Therapy, she believes every body is designed to heal and adapt naturally when the nervous system works as it should. Parents often share how gentle and comforting their baby’s experience was—and how much calmer their little one seemed afterward.
What to Expect
Your first visit includes a relaxed conversation about your baby’s birth, feeding, and daily routines, followed by a gentle exam. If care is recommended, Dr. Pam will use light adjustments and may suggest simple at-home tips for positioning, feeding, or tummy time.
We’re here to support your baby’s healthy growth every step of the way.
