At Blonsky Family Chiropractic, we understand that raising a healthy, happy baby is a top priority for parents. That’s why we offer a range of treatments to help infants overcome common conditions, including colic, latching and breastfeeding problems, torticollis, and sleep difficulties. Our goal is to provide gentle, safe, and effective care to help your baby thrive. If you’re concerned about your infant’s health and well-being, don’t hesitate to contact us to schedule a consultation and learn more about how we can help.
Colic
Colic is a common condition among infants, characterized by excessive crying and fussiness. It is often caused by gastrointestinal discomfort or sensitivity to certain foods in the mother’s diet. At Blonsky Family Chiropractic, we can provide gentle, safe treatment to help alleviate colic symptoms and improve your baby’s overall comfort.
As a Mom Doctor Sara knows how tough Colic can be both on baby and Mommy and Daddy! She will work with you and your baby to ensure that baby can rest, so you can.
Latching and Breastfeeding Problems
Proper latching and breastfeeding are essential for a baby’s development and overall health. However, many infants struggle with latching and breastfeeding problems, leading to discomfort, frustration, and a lack of milk supply. At Blonsky Family Chiropractic, we can provide guidance and support to help mothers overcome latching and breastfeeding problems and establish a successful feeding routine.
Sometimes the problem could be one of the other problems listed on this page. We all know that a combination of any two things can lead to all sorts of problems; a wet diaper and grumbly tummy can make your baby all-sorts of fussy. Likewise, an achy neck, tight back, or constipation can amplify the grump! Chiropractic for infants is a gentle way to get things moving and ensure your little one is feeling their best, so they can nurse their best.
What Does Chiropractic Look like for Infants?
Chiropractic care in small children is amazingly gentle! Doctor Sara will hold you baby and to you it might look like she’s cuddling your adorable little one!
She’ll apply light pressure to the problem spots, and check to make sure everything is working as it should. Sometimes this involves rotating baby’s legs to make sure everything is moving smoothly. Sometimes it’s just her pressing on the infant’s spine to make sure the muscles around it are letting it move properly.
You’ll never hear a click, or crack, or pop.
Bonus, Doctor Sara will delight in holding your little one, she loves babies!
Torticollis
Torticollis, also known as “wry neck,” is a condition in which a baby’s head is tilted to one side, often as a result of tight neck muscles. This condition can cause difficulty with feeding, discomfort, and developmental delays. At Blonsky Family Chiropractic, we can provide gentle treatment to help alleviate torticollis and improve your baby’s overall comfort and function.
Plus, we want to get your baby looking all around so you can see their smile!
Sleep
Getting enough sleep is essential for a baby’s health and development (and yours). However, many infants struggle with sleep problems, leading to exhaustion and frustration for both the baby and the parents. At Blonsky Family Chiropractic, we can provide guidance and support to help infants establish healthy sleep patterns and improve their overall well-being.
Really, any of these conditions (Torticollis, Breastfeeding, Colic) can lead to sleep disruption, and you might need an army of help to get through it. Doctor Sara would be honored to be part of that team!
