Babies

Chiropractic is a very effective and safe treatment method for children. The chiropractor will choose gentle techniques adapted to the age of the infant. There is no age requirement; babies can be treated shortly after birth.

Spine Spinal problems can be caused by a wrong position in the womb, a difficult birth or a very fast birth. This can cause a blockage in the upper neck vertebrae. Early signs of such a blockage can be:

persistent crying
colic
excessive vomiting
reaching for the ears
feeding problems
tendency to hyperextend
KISS syndrome

KISS stands for “Kinetic Imbalances due to Suboccipital Strain”, in other words that disorders in the development of a child can occur as a result of blockages of the upper neck joints. This usually presents itself with excessive crying combined with an asymmetric body position. Our chiropractors are very well trained to diagnose and treat KISS. Usually 4 to 5 treatments are enough to restore normal spinal function.

Ear infections

Ear infections, in general, are blockages in the Eustachian tubes. Manipulation of the neck and spine bones can help to unblock any fluids or infections in the ear, which a chiropractor gently manipulates to open up and allow the fluid to drain properly.
