Chiropractic Care and Newborn Children

Chiropractic Care and Newborn Children

Dr. Casen and Dr. Anthony DeMaria are ICPA-certified in pediatric chiropractic.

Hello Everyone, 

One of our favorite things to see in our practice are healthy growing kids, and if you're here in our Westlake location, you might see families and babies, and even as you're reading this, you might see strollers coming in and you might be thinking to yourself, "Why would a newborn baby come to see the chiropractor?" 

That's a great question! 

What's really amazing about our body is when you first were born, the birth process, that is 90 pounds of pressure on the brain and the spinal cord. So out of curiosity, how many of you, raise of hands, have ever run into a glass door before? Maybe you don't want to admit it, or maybe a screen or something that was so clean you didn't even know that it was there. Well, what I want you to think about is that impact of that child running full force into the door, it impacted his spine for the rest of his life. 

What's really amazing about that is as chiropractors, we evaluate spinal function to see if there's any of those misalignments that could have happened when you were a child of different postures, and the benefit of specific adjustments, it changes everything: Better school, better focus, maybe you will be getting along with your family members better, even choosing better choices like eating more vegetables, sleep, posture, it's all connected with the nervous system. 

So if you know someone that's younger and you watch them and they're playing sports and they have backpacks on, consider sharing our office with them, I know you'll be glad you did.
