baby + kiddo care

 
 

why parents bring their babies for care:

  • Your baby’s nervous system isn’t fully developed yet so they can’t tell you what they need without using fussing or crying to help communicate if something isn’t right. Often parents are told there is nothing that can be done. We find these babies respond well to gentle chiropractic and craniosacral therapies and home stretches and nutritional support for mom to help their nervous system adapt to their new world.

  • If your baby is unable to latch well or is causing you pain, this can be an indication that the cranial bones or neck may need gentle therapies to help restore tongue and neck function. Sometimes it’s a embryological malformation, like a tongue or lip tie and our providers can help detect and provide support for this, also.

  • Tension within the head from pregnancy/birth positions or prolonged time in baby seats & swings can cause some interesting shaped heads. We’ve had many babies be able to avoid helmets after receiving chiropractic and craniosacral therapies.

  • The first chiropractic adjustment ever given wasn’t for back or neck pain—it cured an ear issue in 1895! We can take a look in your kiddo’s ears, show you how to help the ears with at home stretches and massage and provide all natural remedies to try to alleviate ear aches and pressure.

  • Whether your kiddo is suffering from sleep issues due to breathing issues, discomfort or breastfeeding issues, we can help find the cause and help you turn the corner.

  • Constipation in kiddos is very common and infants can become uncomfortable and inconsolable when things get backed up. Parents often report a full diaper on the car ride home after their visits and our care helps restore your kiddo to a relaxed parasympathetic state of rest and digest.

Our office is a one stop shop for chiropractic, craniosacral, lactation support, nutritional care and breathing retraining.

We are passionate about making mom’s lives easier so we’ve put all these services under one roof. We love supporting families through their journey with tongue and lip ties due to our own struggles with tongue and lip ties with our loved ones.

Chiropractic & Craniosacral

An intense pregnancy/birth, sibling love, and routine “bumps and bruises” are all reasons babies can benefit from chiropractic and craniosacral care. These common stresses on little bodies set the tone for the remainder of their lives as the spine doubles in size over the first 2 years of life.

In the first visit, we will:

  • Discuss any concerns for your baby’s health.

  • Perform a thorough examination.

  • Discuss our findings & provide gentle care if you are ready to proceed.

  • Provide you with home care options to enable your baby to have the most optimal outcome.

breathing retraining

Babies need to be able to breathe through their nose while eating. The suck:swallow:breathe reflex is key to survival for infants, and it is ideal to help a baby relearn proper breathing mechanics if things have been interrupted due to the birth process or a tongue tie. Indications baby may need breathing retraining:

  • Mouth breathing

  • Noisy breathing while sleeping/snoring

  • Grunting/breathing heavily while eating

Our office is so much more than simply a chiropractic office. We want you to feel supported in the natural lifestyle in all ways, whether it be:

  • Natural teething care ideas

  • Ways to care for ear aches naturally

  • Keeping baby healthy through flu season

  • Helping tummy aches & constipation through natural methods.

We always want to use the least invasive methods to help our kids thrive, and we want you to be able to try these methods too when you are comfortable.

lactation

The need for support during breastfeeding hasn’t changed in the last 2000 years, but our support structures have changed, and we need more support outside the family unit. Whether it’s assurance that everything is going okay or to troubleshoot issues, that’s our goal–to support you in your goals as a breastfeeding mom! We can offer support you naturally through:

  • Painful/Poor Latch

  • Tongue & Lip Ties

  • Low Supply/Oversupply

  • Mastitis/Clogged Ducts

  • Exclusive Pumping

  • Supplemental & Complementary Feeding

  • Transitioning baby to/from the bottle

The early days of breastfeeding with a tongue or lip tie are both challenging and draining. It can be a lot of work for baby to re-learn new things, and it may not always come easily. To support you as you nourish your little one, we created a video to walk you through the homework that will help baby learn to use muscles to eat better and stretch the tight muscles that haven’t ever moved that far.
