Ep 69: Benefits of Pediatric Chiropractic Care

No matter the type of birth you have, your newborn can benefit from seeing a trained chiropractor. In this episode, Dr. Shannon and Doula Rachael help walk you through how the pregnancy and birth process (vaginal or cesarean) can cause subluxations in the baby’s spine which can impact how their tiny systems function and ultimately impacts how they engage with the outside world.  This episode will dive deep on the following topics:

• Our personal experiences with prenatal and pediatric chiropractic care
• How subluxations occur during pregnancy and the birth process
• Difference in “normal” newborn behavior and signs of distress
• Impact on nursing, infant feeding, digestion, sleep, and development in the first year of life
• What is involved in a pediatric newborn exam
• Common issues Dr. Shannon sees in her office for 0-6 month olds and 6-12 month olds
• Breaking down misconceptions surrounding pediatric chiropractic adjustments

It is important to seek care from a trained pediatric chiropractor.  Care plans and length of time to see results will vary for each patient based on medical history and individual needs and abilities. You can learn more and find a trained professional at ICPA4Kids.com.
