So how early is "too early" for a newborn to be adjusted?
As soon as they have misalignment in their spine they are able to be adjusted. There was a study done to assess the percentage of deliveries that resulted in trauma to the newborn's neck. The researchers found that 12% of the babies born at that hospital, had demonstrable neck trauma. If your child falls into that 12% the number is way to high.
A simple check at the chiropractic office on the way home from the hospital, or the first trip out if you deliver at home, and you can set that newborn on the road to better health. Chiropractor's who are trained to assess infant's spines for subluxation can easily let you know if there was any trauma done to your little one's spine. If adjustments are needed we are also well equipped to start correcting the damage that was done and head off problems that may have been in store for him or her.
