Spinal problems can begin as early as birth and even 'natural' birthing methods may bring stress to an infant's spine and developing nerve system. In fact, irritation to the nerve system caused by spinal and cranial misalignment can be the cause of many newborn health complaints. Since significant spinal trauma can occur at birth, many parents have their newborns examined immediately. It is important to note that spinal misalignments may or may not result in immediate pain or symptoms so regular chiropractic checkups are encouraged to identify potential problems.*
Infant growth activities such as holding up their head, sitting, crawling and walking all affect their spinal alignment, which should be checked on a regular basis. Dr. Stephanie Mancuso is highly trained in treating infant spines and knows that chiropractic adjusting procedures must be modified to accommodate a child’s size, weight, and unique spinal condition. Most parents report that their children enjoy their chiropractic adjustments and look forward to subsequent visits. They also report that their children experience a greater level of health while under regular chiropractic care.
Make the correction early and help avoid health complaints experienced later in childhood and adulthood. Proper spinal care is a key element to better health.
