Chiropractic Adjustment Techniques for Infants and Toddlers | Knoxville Spine and Sports

Meet Auchland!
His Mom brought him in originally because of some colic and reflux issues that he had been having. As
this started to clear up, we began to focus on his severe distaste for his car seat. On closer inspection, his
neck rotation was limited one way and one of his little developing anterior neck muscles was very tight
and locking his head down. Chiropractic care and soft tissue manipulation has been a huge help for all of
his (and mostly his mom’s) complaints.
Dr. Matt has been certified by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) to work with
infants and toddlers. There is NO popping! Just a gentle force to move those newly forming bones and
muscles to where they need to be. The conditions that chiropractic can help are expansive and
encompasses more than most people would think. Let us help the munchkins you love!

Infant adjustment
The adjustment for, you know, an infant, such as himself, is no more than just a very
tiny little bit of pressure. Just on the side of the area that is out. And the impulse is no more than just a little, a little bit of a shake. And that's it
And he's livin', lovin', chirping, burping! He's a happy little dude

I would be terrified to do this, because I am a victim of a chiropractor. My sister, on the other hand, loves them. I think it depends upon one’s experiences. She has had a very different experience. The DC she sees does not see her multiple time after an initial adjustment. Mine did. Also, her doctor doesn’t use sharp jerking of the neck and head. Mine did. She got actual relief; I got pain that continued to get worse. Really … it depends on one’s experiences.

My daughter is now 26 yrs old. I started her chiropractic adjustments during infancy. No ear infections, no childhood illnesses, through cheerleading. She is still healthy.

I worked at a daycare center in the 80's. One of the moms took their babies to a chiropractor. She swore by it!! Ran into her when her daughter was in her teens. She had developed major shoulder & neck problems! Was 90!% sure it happened from the chiropractor!

Omg isn't the baby such a cutie!! ❤ I love when babies start cooing, it is adorable. I also love when you can tell they are being adjusted and when it feels better. ❤

For everyone saying this isn’t safe bro it depends on your chiropractor I had to have a spinal adjustment when I was just a few months old and I was fine after and still fine

[Eman-in]

I cant imagine do such adjustments on a baby soft bones

Es irresponsable llevar a un quiropráctico un bebé cuyos huesos y tejidos están en formación, su cuerpo está en pleno crecimiento y es delicado.

Why are we doing chiropractic treatment on a baby.?

[modestasigarroba]

He is so adorable, beautiful gift from God ❤

[MdnightWnd]

Ya’ll here freaking out when all he did was a little pressure and a massage. It’s not like he’s cracking the child like they do to adults.

It’s good for babies with scoliosis as long as you go to a reputable child friendly chiropractor this can be really helpful. Speaking from actual experience of children with spinal bifida this kind of gentle adjustment does help and goes along way to improve pain and nerve stress as well as helping sleep.

for infants, chiropractors have a different and far gentler approach. Often time, the manipulations may only involve a gentle massage that goes unnoticed by the baby.

[jaydogtitan-okvw]

I'll never be convinced that this is safe for a baby.

[lisahawes]

I wouldn't imagine any GP, physio or orthopaedic surgeon advising any bone manipulation/pressure on soft bones of a baby. Very risky!!

[aries]

Mama's milk is all the treatment and care an infant needs.
Plus Mama's hugs and kisses 😘❤

[Mya_Sarah_Bellum]

Why did you adjust the baby? I couldn't hear anything at one point.

[GerardoRodriguez-ncms]

Oh buh Dr Ian Rossborough got heat for doing this to a 4 day old baby.

[willsmith]

I really dought that the baby needs an adjustment

[sedoniakrieger]

I think it's awesome how chiros like to document and share not only their quackery, but straight up child abuse on youtube
