The other day I was FaceTiming a friend who just became a mom. Her baby is 5 weeks old and she asked me,
“Diana… can you explain why I would take my 5 week old baby to a chiropractor?”
And I paused. Because for a split second, it feels so simple…. why wouldn’t you?
But then I quickly remind myself: it’s not the norm for most parents. And if you’ve never seen or heard of a newborn being adjusted, bringing your tiny, perfect angel to a chiropractor can feel a little scary. Totally fair.
So here’s the thing!
Birth is a BIG transition for a baby’s body. Even the smoothest births involve a lot of pressure, twisting, and squeezing as babies make their way into the world.
That’s why my own baby was adjusted the day he was born (shoutout to the best chiropractor/doula combo on th planet ). To me, helping his little body release tension, balance his nervous system, and adapt to life outside the womb just made sense.
And here’s the coolest part of my job:
Babies can’t fake results.
When we gently adjust newborns, we often see things like better sleep, easier poops, improved latch, calmer, more regulated babies, easier settling… just to name a few!
I see it in my office every single day. And honestly… it’s one of the most fun and rewarding parts of what I do.
Tiny humans adapting to the world a little easier? I’m here for it.
Chiropractic care for babies is pretty amazing. And if you ask me… it SHOULD be the norm 🥰
