The Perfect Storm
Headline
When most parents hear the term "Pediatric Chiropractic" in reference to newborn babies, they usually have a couple of questions. The first is, "why does a baby need a chiropractic adjustment?" And second is, "What does an adjustment on a baby even look like?" So many moms and dads are looking for science-backed ways that they can help their baby grow optimally, whether it is proactively or if there is a current struggle going on.
For nine months, a baby will be floating in a calm, dark, peaceful environment where all of her needs are met. Then one day, the walls start closing in on her. Eventually, her head will engage with the inside end of the birth canal. From that point on, her head becomes a battering ram to force her way through the tiny opening of the birth canal. Now all the force that the mom generates from her contractions is transmitted to the baby, especially the head and neck. This incredible force is what causes a baby's head to be elongated immediately after the birth process..
Why are vertebral subluxations significant?
Vertebral subluxations distort the nervous system's ability to process the environment. The brain is dependent on the information from the outside world to determine function and development. This need is why we have senses.
We are taught that we have five senses, but there are actually at least eight. The five most known senses are outside the body sensors. The three lesser-known senses are inside the body detectors. It is the three internal sensors that have the most significant impact on brain development and maturation.
Proprioception is the sensation of your body in space. Interoception is the perception of the internal signals of your body. The
vestibular system is the CEO or orchestra of all sensory systems.
Harvard University on Brain Development
According to Harvard University Center on the Developing Child, early experiences affect the development of brain architecture, which provides the foundation for all future learning, behavior, and health. Just as a weak foundation compromises the quality and strength of a house, adverse experiences early in life can impair brain architecture, with adverse effects lasting into adulthood.
Chiropractic care for babies focuses on building a strong foundation for brain development. By correcting vertebral subluxations, babies can process their environment optimally, and therefore their brain has the best chance to develop a strong foundation for all future learning, behavior, and health for your child.
What does an adjustment look like for a baby?
An adjustment of a baby is exceptionally different than an adjustment for an adult. Since most babies are incredibly flexible, the force needed is minimal.
We show parents that many times, the force they use to burp their baby is greater than the force we use to adjust them. The average amount of force used is about the same used to test an avocado or tomato's ripeness.
Since adjusting babies is way different than adjusting adults, Dr. Vin has a Diplomate in Clinical Chiropractic Pediatrics (DICCP) through the
International Chiropractors Association (ICA) and a Certification by the Academy Council of Chiropractic Pediatrics (CACCP) through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA).
