"My Baby Won't Nurse."

Children's health issues image.

After a baby's first breath, the next thing it looks for is a breast. It happens quite naturally thousands of times a day. Except when it doesn't. Several such cases have been documented in the Journal of Manipulative Physiological Therapeutics:

Colic

A three-week-old girl had colic, flatulence and outbursts of crying for almost three weeks. A chiropractic examination revealed left foot rotation, folded left ear, restricted neck motion and jaw imbalance. Chiropractic care and CranioSacral therapy was begun. "We suspected that her posture in the womb was the contributing factor to child's physical asymmetry and subluxation pattern," observed the chiropractor. "By the fourth week of adjustments the baby began to breast-feed from both breasts."

Vaccination Effects

A 15-day old emaciated male infant, suffering from colic, crying constantly and unable to breastfeed since birth was taken to the chiropractor. The mother observed that her baby would "shake, scream and vomit during and after feeding." The infant had been given a Hepatitis B vaccination within hours after birth. After the first adjustment, there was a significant reduction of crying, screaming and shaking. When the baby had been symptom-free for five days he was given another Hepatitis B shot and the original symptoms returned.

Cervical Subluxation

A 6-month-old boy with an aversion to suckling was evaluated in a chiropractic practice. An examination revealed asymmetry and fixation in the neck, signs of cervical subluxations. The suckling intolerance resolved immediately after the first visit and did not return.

Your baby can't tell you, "my neck hurts" or "my stomach isn’t working right." That's why newborns deserve a chiropractic checkup to make sure their nervous systems aren't compromised from the birth process.

Dr. Kari Asks some important questions of interest to Redondo Beach residents - Chiropractor Redondo Beach Dr. Kari Asks...

Would you rather feel good or be healthy?
Ask most people in Redondo Beach and they want to feel good. Careful! Would you take medicine that makes you feel good, rather than vomit to expel improperly prepared food? Every chiropractic patient knows that you can't measure your health by how you feel. True health is when your body works as it should.
Is a muscle spasm a cause or an effect?
With the knee-jerk use of muscle relaxers, you'd think it was a cause. But it's an effect. Chiropractors know that bones don't move unless muscles move them. And muscles don't contract unless commanded by the nervous system. That's why your nervous system is the focus of our Redondo Beach chiropractic practice.
