If you think we’re “popping” babies… we need to clear that up real quick.
Gentle pediatric adjustments are NOTHING like adult adjustments.
When we adjust infants, there is no twisting, no cracking, and no forceful movements.
For infants, the pressure used is about the amount you’d use to check the ripeness of a tomato. 🍅
This is because babies don’t need force. Their joints aren’t fully formed. Their nervous systems are developing. We’re simply helping areas where the spinal joints aren’t moving properly and restoring healthy communication between the brain and body.
And when the nervous system functions better?
✨ Feeding improves
✨ Digestion regulates
✨ Sleep deepens
✨ Tension decreases
Children are not “little adults.” Their care is specific, gentle, and neurologically focused.
In our office, we always:
• Take a full history
• Perform a detailed exam
• Assess joint range of motion, muscle tone, and reflexes
• Adjust with age-appropriate technique
We would be honored to care for your little one! Schedule an appointment in our office today!
