Newborn & Infant Chiropractic

Gentle Care from Day One

Birth is hard work — for your baby and for you. Tiny nervous systems benefit from gentle, early support. Our touch is featherlight (about the pressure you'd use to test a ripe tomato), and most babies sleep right through their visits.

Why It Matters

A Gentler Start for Your Newborn

The birth process — whether vaginal or cesarean — can create significant stress on a newborn's spine and nervous system. Even uneventful births involve compression, twisting, and pulling that the baby's tiny body has to absorb. Many of the early infant struggles parents see — colic, reflux, sleep issues, latching problems, torticollis — have a nervous system component that gentle pediatric chiropractic can address.

We use Torque Release Technique, which is one of the gentlest adjusting methods in chiropractic. The pressure is incredibly light — about what you'd use to test the ripeness of a tomato. There's no twisting, cracking, or popping. Most babies sleep through their adjustments.

Dr. Laura specializes in infant care and brings warmth, patience, and clinical expertise to every visit. Many of our families come in within the first week or two of their baby's life and credit the care with helping their newborn find calm, comfort, and consistent sleep faster.

Many of the struggles parents ask us about — colic, reflux, trouble latching, a head that tilts to one side, nights broken by short cat-naps — share a common thread. A tiny nervous system that absorbed a lot during delivery and hasn't fully settled yet. Gentle infant chiropractic helps it settle.

You don't have to wait for things to "get worse" to bring your baby in. In fact, the earlier we can meet your little one, the lighter and shorter the work tends to be.

Torque Release Technique uses an instrument-assisted adjustment with the lightest possible touch — safer and gentler than parent-taught infant massage.

Colic, reflux, sleep difficulties, latching issues, torticollis, and gas all respond well to gentle nervous system care.

Supports Healthy Development

A clear nervous system from day one means better sleep, calmer behavior, easier feeding, and stronger developmental milestones.

Common Questions

What New Parents Ask Us Most

Absolutely. Pediatric chiropractic adjustments use pressure that is lighter than what you'd use to test a ripe tomato. The Torque Release Technique we use is specifically designed for delicate developing nervous systems and has been used safely on countless babies for decades.

Many colicky babies see significant improvement after a few gentle adjustments. Colic often has a nervous system component — birth stress can leave the autonomic nervous system in a 'fight or flight' state, which contributes to crying, gas, and disrupted sleep. Gentle adjustments help reset that pattern.

Within the first few days is ideal, especially after a difficult birth. The earlier we can address birth-related stress, the easier it is to help your baby find their rhythm.

Most babies stay calm, and many fall asleep. The adjustment itself takes seconds and uses incredibly gentle pressure. We always go at your baby's pace and stop if your baby is stressed.

The gentlest discipline in chiropractic

Less than the
weight of a dime.

Infant adjustments use no more pressure than you'd use to test a ripe tomato. No cracks, no pops, no positioning a baby can't tolerate. Just precise contact where the nervous system is asking for release.

First visits

What your first infant visit looks like.

A warm room, a quiet check, a parent's hands always on their baby. Most infants don't even notice the adjustment — many fall asleep during it.
