When to do Chiropractic Baby Checks

Why Do You Need Your Baby Checked?

 

Before the baby was born you were doing many things to ensure your baby’s health. You ate right, took vitamins, did not drink alcohol, did not smoke, did not use drugs, and did not take over the counter medications. Now that the baby is born you want to do what is right for them.  You are breast feeding them, keeping them away from cigarette smoke, having wellness check ups. But have you had your baby’s spine checked? An unhealthy spine can affect the health of your child. The spine is what protects the nervous system. The nervous system controls all functions of the body. Dr. Skrien is specially trained to check your baby’s spine for areas of vertebral subluxations. The vertebral subluxations cause the nervous system to be in a state of dis-ease, and not working properly. This will cause the health of your baby to less then healthy.

 

 

When Does A Baby Need A Spinal Checkup?

 

Six times in its first year.

• After the birth of the baby. This may be the most traumatic event in their life.
• When they start to hold up their head. Very important in development of the cervical curve.
• When they start to sit up. Think of all the times they tip over and jar their spine.
• When they start to crawl. Start to develop the low back curve in the lumbar spine.
• When they start to stand. Count how many times they fall down and jar the spine.
• When they start to walk. Again see how many times they fall down.

This is according to chiropractic pediatric specialist Larry Webster, D.C.
