At Spoelstra Family Chiropractic, we understand that your baby’s health and well-being are of the utmost importance to you! We believe in providing very gentle and safe neuro-based chiropractic care specifically tailored for our tiniest patients. Our team of experienced chiropractors is dedicated to helping your little one thrive and reach their developmental milestones with comfort and ease.

Babies undergo significant changes during their early months of life. Not to mention all the changes they already went through in utero! From the intensity of birth to the natural growth process, their bodies are constantly adapting to stressors around them. Chiropractic care for babies offers a gentle and non-invasive approach to support your baby’s optimal health and development.

Common reasons for your infant or baby to receive chiropractic care in our office:

We understand that, as parents, you are doing your best to protect your infant or baby from stress. However, the reality is that in today's world, the multitude of stressors—be they physical, chemical, or emotional—makes it nearly impossible to shield them from everything. It's also important to know that it is not merely the presence of stress that affects your little one's well-being, health, and development, but rather, their ability to adapt and cope with stress determines how susceptible they are to its negative impact. This adaptability is influenced by both genetics and epigenetics, often referred to as a "bucket." The size of your infant or baby's bucket plays a role in how they handle or express the effects of significant or chronic stress.

The good news is that chiropractic care can support the nervous system, enabling your infant or baby to not only adapt to stress but also improve their resilience to it. Essentially, chiropractic adjustments can make their bucket bigger!

Our specific and gentle chiropractic adjustments are designed to enhance alignment, function, and communication within your infant or baby's body, promoting better health and overall well-being both now and in the future. At our clinic, we are committed to helping your little one thrive and reach their full potential, providing the care they need to cope with life's challenges with greater ease.

As neuro-based chiropractors, we carefully examine the spine, cranium, and pelvis to identify any areas where bones have shifted out of place, which we refer to as Neuro-Structural Shifts. These shifts not only affect the alignment, movement, and muscle activity of the joint but also disrupt the feedback and communication between the brain and the body. 

Neuro-structural shifts are physiological adaptations to an inability to adapt to stress, be it physical, chemical, or emotional. Like a circuit breaker in your house, which blows to protect your home when there's too much electricity, our bodies are designed to respond similarly!

However, when left uncorrected, neuro-structural shifts can decrease the efficiency and function of the brain and body, often becoming the root cause of signs and symptoms affecting an infant or baby's health and well-being. At Spoelstra Family Chiropractic, we aim to address these shifts and restore your baby's health and comfort through our gentle and effective care approach.

If we are the right place, and you decide to move forward with care in our office, you will schedule a comprehensive examination and follow-up consultation.

Our comprehensive examination includes a clinical assessment (posture analysis, movement assessment, neurological analysis of up to three neurological scans using advanced technology, and x-rays, if needed*) looks for indicators to determine the evidence of neuro-structural shifting and how it is impacting your health and well-being. 

Our goal is to get to the root cause of the "why" behind an individual's challenge or learn how our care can optimize one’s health, wellbeing, or development.

* We do not typically take x rays on kids unless clinically warranted.

After the comprehensive examination, we’ll review the results and discuss how we can help you in a follow up consultation with the doctor.

We have multiple options and different tools in our office to provide unique recommendations to help you have the best progress in our office and success in your health goals. In our clinical experience, if a Neuro-structural shifting is identified, most individuals require a frequency up to three times a week over the course of several months to restore nervous system function.

Immediately following your consultation you're given a choice; if you choose to hire us to be on your team and help you, you will continue to step 4!
