"My Baby Won't Nurse."

Children's health issues image.

After a baby's first breath, the next thing it looks for is a breast. It happens quite naturally thousands of times a day. Except when it doesn't. Several such cases have been documented in the Journal of Manipulative Physiological Therapeutics:

Colic

A three-week-old girl had colic, flatulence and outbursts of crying for almost three weeks. A chiropractic examination revealed left foot rotation, folded left ear, restricted neck motion and jaw imbalance. Chiropractic care and CranioSacral therapy was begun. "We suspected that her posture in the womb was the contributing factor to child's physical asymmetry and subluxation pattern," observed the chiropractor. "By the fourth week of adjustments the baby began to breast-feed from both breasts."

Vaccination Effects

A 15-day old emaciated male infant, suffering from colic, crying constantly and unable to breastfeed since birth was taken to the chiropractor. The mother observed that her baby would "shake, scream and vomit during and after feeding." The infant had been given a Hepatitis B vaccination within hours after birth. After the first adjustment, there was a significant reduction of crying, screaming and shaking. When the baby had been symptom-free for five days he was given another Hepatitis B shot and the original symptoms returned.

Cervical Subluxation

A 6-month-old boy with an aversion to suckling was evaluated in a chiropractic practice. An examination revealed asymmetry and fixation in the neck, signs of cervical subluxations. The suckling intolerance resolved immediately after the first visit and did not return.

Your baby can't tell you, "my neck hurts" or "my stomach isn’t working right." That's why newborns deserve a chiropractic checkup to make sure their nervous systems aren't compromised from the birth process.

Dr. Manfred Asks some important questions of interest to Mesa residents - Chiropractor Mesa Dr. Manfred Asks...

What is the purpose of pain?
Pain prompts many Mesa folks to begin chiropractic care. But pain isn't the problem! Pain is just how your body alerts you that a limit has been reached (or exceeded), that something isn't working right and that some type of change is needed. As a chiropractor, my job is finding the underlying cause and recommending the changes needed to bring your body back into balance.
Are chiropractors just concerned with the spine?
Our interest in the spine is because it covers the major communications conduit between your brain and your body. As a Mesa chiropractor my job is to locate areas (usually along the spine) that interfere with proper nerve communications to and from your brain. Chiropractic adjustments help restore nervous system integrity. In this way, chiropractic care can affect the function of your entire body.
