Infant Chiropractic Care: Support Your Baby’s Growing Nervous System

ree

From the moment a baby is born, their nervous system is learning, adapting, and wiring every second.


Feeding, digesting, sleeping, bonding, moving—every milestone your baby reaches begins in the nervous system.


At Flower of Life Chiropractic, our focus is simple:


Help your baby release tension, rewire their nervous system, and grow with more ease.


Birth Is Beautiful—And Stressful


Even the smoothest birth brings pressure, compression, twisting, or pulling forces on a baby’s tiny spine and cranial system.


 For many babies—especially after long labors, fast labors, inductions, epidurals, forceps, vacuum, or C-sections—this early stress can create tension patterns in their body.


These patterns may show up as:


  • Difficulty latching or feeding

  • Preferring one breast

  • Clicking or gulping

  • Gassiness or reflux

  • Trapped burps

  • Colic-like fussiness

  • Head turning to one side only

  • Flat spots or misshapen head

  • Stiff body or arching

  • Constipation

  • Poor sleep or short sleep cycles

  • Developmental asymmetries


These are all signs of a nervous system working too hard, or a body experiencing tension it cannot release on its own.


How Infant Chiropractic Care Helps


Our care for infants is extremely gentle—think about the pressure you’d use to check a ripe tomato.


 No popping, twisting, or forceful movements.


 Just soft, specific contacts to help the nervous system unwind.


We use the Release → Rewire → Be Amazing approach:


1. RELEASE


We help your baby’s body let go of tension in the spine, cranium, and soft tissues.


 This supports feeding, digestion, comfort, and body balance.


2. REWIRE


As the tension releases, the nervous system starts communicating more clearly.


 This helps your baby reach milestones with greater ease and supports calmer, more connected behavior.


3. BE AMAZING


A clear and balanced nervous system helps babies:


  • Feed more efficiently

  • Sleep longer and deeper

  • Digest better

  • Go to the bathroom easier

  • Develop symmetrical movement

  • Reduce colic, fussiness, or discomfort

  • Build a strong foundation for future milestones


Why Parents Bring Their Babies to Us


Most families find us when their baby is experiencing one of the “Big 3” challenges:


1. Feeding + Latch Challenges


Tension in the jaw, neck, tongue, or cranium can make feeding harder than it should be.


2. Digestive Stress


Reflux, gas, constipation, or difficulty burping often trace back to stuck stress in the nervous system.


3. Movement + Milestone Patterns


A baby who only looks one way, has a flat spot, arches, stiffens, or struggles with tummy time is showing us where their nervous system needs support.


Infant chiropractic care helps address the underlying stress—not just the symptoms.


Cranial + Nervous System Work


We focus heavily on the cranial system because it affects:


  • Latch mechanics

  • Tongue movement

  • Drainage + immune function

  • Head shape

  • Sleep patterns

  • Brain development


When the cranial bones and nervous system are at ease, babies often shift quickly into better feeding, better sleeping, and better comfort.


Who Can Benefit?


Infant chiropractic care is especially helpful for babies who experienced:


  • Long labor / fast labor

  • Vacuum or forceps

  • C-section birth

  • NICU stay

  • Tongue/lip tie (pre- or post-release)

  • Difficulty latching

  • Reflux or digestive issues

  • Colic or high fussiness

  • Head shape concerns

  • Torticollis

  • Stiffness or arching

  • Slow or early milestones

  • Overwhelm or sensory sensitivity


But truly—any baby can benefit from a clearer, calmer nervous system.


Our Mission With Every Little One


At Flower of Life Chiropractic, we don’t “fix” babies.


We support their nervous system so they can grow, adapt, and thrive with more ease.


Every baby deserves a regulated nervous system & be a superbaby!
