Newborns and Chiropractic

Craniosacral Technique and Tonal Assessment

Being born can be very stressful on the upper cervical spine, cranial nerves, and muscles.

Dr. Sulack utilizes the gentle Craniosacral Technique and a Tonal Assessment to realign the upper neck (and spine and pelvis) and remove tension from the spinal cord and it’s nerves. Quite often, babies fall asleep during treatment.

After treatment, newborns can have improved latching during nursing, have better neck rotation (not favoring just one side when nursing), improved breathing, and improved sleep.

Dr. Sulack's has also seen severely jaundiced newborns improve dramatically even after only one treatment.

Newborns can experience constipation and reflux.  Signs of this can be “grunting” often, or prolonged "chewing" long after nursing.  Chiropractic treatment can help this as well.  Once their spines are realigned, their nerve and digestive systems can functioning optimally.

It is extremely rewarding to see families achieve breakthrough in all these areas, often after one or two treatments.
