Infant Care: Early Chiropractic and Craniosacral Therapy

Infancy is a crucial period for development, and pediatric chiropractic care can help address issues that may arise during birth or the early months. Hunt Vitality specializes in assessing newborns for in-utero constraints and birth trauma, which can impact your baby’s health and development.

It is essential to bring your baby in for evaluation if you notice any of the following signs:

  • Difficulty with tummy time

  • Flat spots on the head (plagiocephaly)

  • Limited neck mobility or inability to turn the head to both sides

  • Difficulty nursing, latching, or sucking

  • Colic, reflux, or digestive issues

  • Sleep disturbances or trouble settling

  • Tension or discomfort in the body (often indicated by fussiness or crying)

Our approach includes gentle craniosacral therapy and chiropractic adjustments, which are safe for babies, even just hours after birth. Early treatment helps relieve tension, correct misalignments, and support optimal development, ensuring your baby is comfortable and healthy during their early years.

Chiropractic Care for Kids: Supporting Growth and Development

As children grow, their bodies go through numerous changes that can lead to physical discomfort or health issues. Dr. Hunt’s pediatric chiropractic care helps address these issues before they turn into long-term concerns. Kids are active, and with frequent falls, injuries, and growth spurts, chiropractic care can support proper alignment, prevent injury, and optimize overall health.

Conditions that benefit from pediatric chiropractic care include:

  • Falls and bumps from everyday activities or sports

  • Growth spurts causing aches, pains, or postural imbalances

  • Repetitive stress injuries (from activities like soccer, dance, gymnastics, etc.)

  • Chronic ear infections

  • Sleep difficulties or bedtime resistance

  • Learning difficulties or attention issues (e.g., ADHD)

  • Headaches or tension headaches

  • Pain following orthodontic or dental work

  • Digestive issues (e.g., constipation, stomach aches)

  • Sensory integration disorders or challenges with motor coordination

  • Failure to thrive or difficulty gaining weight

Chiropractic adjustments and craniosacral therapy can help restore balance in the nervous system, improve immune function, alleviate pain, and enhance overall well-being.
