A colicky newborn in Ohio has a whole new demeanor after being treated by a chiropractor, her parents report. Chiropractors and pediatricians share pros and cons of the practice.
A newborn in Columbus, Ohio, has a brand new demeanor ever since being treated by a chiropractor, her parents say. Lily Freeman, just 2 months old, wasn’t a happy baby, her father, Joseph Freeman, told Fox News Digital. When his daughter was born, her umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck twice.
The whole premise of chiropractics is to help the nervous system function the way that it should,' he said. 'When you have a lack of mobility within the spine and tightness in musculature … that interferes with the nervous system's communication to send signals to the rest of the body.' When evaluating a baby, the movements of the spinal joints will help determine where adjustments are needed, Russell said.
Chiropractors are trained to perform 'age-appropriate exams prior to determining if the child is a candidate for chiropractic care,' Tanis added. Babies who suffer from neuromusculoskeletal conditions will show signs of 'greater comfort' following a visit to the chiropractor, she said. 'Many parents report that their baby cries less and sleeps more soundly after chiropractic care.
Natt added, 'At the end of the day, we are all aligned — we want to ensure that we care for the health, safety and comfort of our patients.' Fox News Digital reached out to the AAP requesting comment.
