Young Child And New Born Constipation
“Natural Cure For New Born And Young Child Constipation”
In this posting we are going to discuss how chiropractic care can help if your newborn or young child is constipated.
And the thing that we need to take a real close look at is spinal alignment.
Remember that a subluxation is when a vertebra is misaligned which can compress the nerve root.

And you can verify this for yourself by referring to the Chart of Effects of Spinal Misalignments found on the right side of our home page.
Now I know you may be wondering …” how is it that my child could get a subluxation in their spine? “
Remember too that subluxations are caused by stress and one of the most stressful events that many of us will ever go through is the birth process itself. Especially if there are difficulties such as prolonged labor, breech positioning, base-posterior delivery, forceps assisted delivery and/or vacuum assisted delivery.
Constipation is a very, very common side-effect when little spines are subluxated but the good news is that gentle chiropractic adjustments get fantastic results with infantile constipation.
Now the only way to find out for sure if your child is subluxated is to get a chiropractic pediatric examination.
And this is where we can help.
All you have to do is give us a call to schedule an appointment for you and your child so I can take a closer look.
