Why It’s Important to Check Newborn Babies for Subluxations
Bringing a new baby into the world is one of the most exciting and emotional times in a family’s life. Along with joy, though, comes a focus on protecting your child’s health, growth, and comfort. What many parents don’t realize is that even from the very first day, a baby’s spine and nervous system can be placed under stress—especially during the birthing process. This is why chiropractors recommend gentle evaluations for newborns to check for subluxations, or small misalignments in the spine that may interfere with proper nervous system function.
