When there are misalignments of the spine or subluxations whether in adults or babies, the nerves that travel to all of the systems in the body are compromised due to the pressure in these nerves. What the chiropractor does is simply take the pressure or nerve stress off the spine so the proper functioning of all body organs may be restored.

It is not a surprise for some uninformed people to fear taking their babies to the chiropractor for examination and treatment. Chiropractic care to some people invokes “snap, crackle and pop,” which is the stereotype description for the chiropractic adjustments. Adults who undergo chiropractic adjustments can indeed feel some pressure and cracks in their backs. However, chiropractors have completely different techniques when making adjustments for babies. The chiropractic professionals apply gentle pressure suited to the back and neck of the babies. You can see for yourself the relief this technique will bring to your baby as misalignments are corrected. Chiropractic adjustments for babies are so gentle, babies will hardly feel it. They will be relieved and relaxed upon the correction of misalignments in their bodies.
A veteran chiropractic doctor aptly describes the pressure applied to the back and neck of a baby for adjustments as equivalent to the pressure a consumer uses to check a tomato for ripeness. The reason why babies will cry during a chiropractic session is usually out of being startled at a stranger touching them and undergoing a new experience they are not familiar with.
