After 8 years of treating babies, Vanessa aims to clear up misconceptions about chiropractic care for infants and highlight how it can help with fussiness and overall health in the early months and years. Our approach is incredibly gentle, focusing on manual holds and soft tissue work rather than traditional adjustments.
During a baby history and examination, we review the mother’s pregnancy and labor
Assess the baby’s feeding and sleeping positions
Check for body tension that might be affecting milestones
Treatment is then tailored to the baby’s specific needs, ensuring a calm and comfortable experience.

GENTLE TREATMENTS FOR PEDIATRIC CARE
Very gentle techniques are used to assess and treat the pediatric population. Because the adult body is very different from the pediatric body, a lot of extra training was completed in order to properly serve this population.
As babies grow during their first year of life, they should be hitting developmental milestones in a timely fashion. If there are any physical barriers in the growing baby (muscle tension or joint restrictions) then this will impact their progression to the next milestone. We work to make sure there are no physical barriers in the way through a gentle assessment, treatment and education.
The growing body of pediatric and teenage populations changes dramatically. Between all the falls, sporting injuries, it is important to have their bodies assessed regularly to ensure optimal function and decrease any compensating factors that may be present.
