Chiropractor for Babies and Children
GENTLE CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR BABIES AND CHILDREN
Providing exceptional care for your entire family
Not only are we prepared to meet your unique needs in pregnancy, but we’re here to address the needs of your baby, too. Infant chiropractic care uses a gentle approach, applying minimal pressure to support your child’s overall health.
At Foster Family Chiropractic & Associates, we have both the education and clinical experience to help families work through many of the challenges that can arise in the perinatal period and beyond. These include but are not limited to:
● Webster Technique (this is an assessment and correction protocol that identifies and alleviates intrauterine constraint in pregnancy that helps maintain optimal alignment and may help in the reversal of breech positioning of baby)
● Intraoral/bodywork to help alleviate tension pre and post tongue tie release
● Breastfeeding challenges
● Cranial work
● Infant TMJD
● Challenges with speech and articulation
● The integration of retained primitive reflexes
As a parent, you want the absolute best for your baby. We’re here to make the experience safe and comfortable for your family, and we’re happy to answer any and all questions you have along the way. Chiropractic care can be helpful for infants with colic, reflux, ear infections, digestive disorders, and more. The adjustments are simple, painless, and safe.
Our primary goal is to meet you where you are at, and work to create a plan of care that best suits the needs of your whole family. We are dedicated to helping our practice members meet their ultimate wellness goals and will coordinate with other healthcare and wellness teams to ensure you and your family receive the best care possible.
Breastfeeding, Body Work & Chiropractic Care for Babies
At Foster Family Chiropractic & Associates, bodywork sessions are performed by one of our family chiropractors. We use gentle hands-on assessment techniques to locate areas of decreased mobility, tightness or restriction and help release the area using highly experienced touch. Chiropractic bodywork helps the baby with their overall function focusing on their primitive reflexes, fluid range of motion from tongue to their toes and proper response of their nervous system.
Breastfeeding Concerns
Breastfeeding is meant to be a beautiful, natural experience for both mother and baby. However, the reality is that it can be one of the most challenging and frustrating times for you both.
There are many factors that contribute to difficulties with breastfeeding which is why we always encourage that both you and your baby book an assessment so that we may work to identify the specific barriers related to your circumstance and then help establish the most ease and optimal functioning for you both.
Chiropractic Adjustments for Children
A Chiropractic adjustment and bodywork is always gentle and tuned into your infant or child’s unique needs. Your infant/child’s bodywork session may be performed while you are holding your baby or nursing, comfortably laying on one of our specially designed pediatric adjusting pillows, while they play or even in one of our Family Chiropractors arms.
We will perform a complete hands-on assessment of your baby’s nervous system and primitive reflexes, their entire body with a special focus on tone as it impacts the inside of your infant/child’s mouth assessing tongue function, palate, sphenoid and TMJ (jaw). We understand that the whole body plays a part in overall function and long term health, not just the tongue and jaw, so we ensure we work on their entire body from the top of the cranium to the tips of their toes.
Tongue-Tie and TOTS Assessment
Our Family Chiropractors are trained in Tongue-Tie and TOTs Assessment and work closely with many professionals in the community to co-manage and help these families. The PIPS Technique (Pediatric Intraoral Palate Specific Technique) is an assessment and treatment tool known worldwide for intraoral dysfunction, palate imbalance, Pediatric TMJD and poor tongue function. All of our chiropractic bodyworkers are trained and use this technique as needed.
