Failure to Thrive and Chiropractic Care

A baby diagnosed with "failure to thrive" may experience a lifestyle improvement through chiropractic care. According to the National Institute of Health, "failure to thrive is a description applied to children whose current weight or rate of weight gain is significantly below that of other children of similar age and sex."

Parents whose children have been labeled "failure to thrive" have every right to be concerned. The causes of failure to thrive are varied and range from genetic disorders to neglect. In any case, chiropractic care can improve the brain's ability to communicate with the limbs and organs.

In the US, birth has become a traumatic event for most women as they are forced to labor on their back. This prevents gravity from helping them deliver their precious baby boy or girl and can lead to subluxations in the spine even before Mom has a chance to hold her new baby.

For children, the primary adjustment is to the atlas, which is the top vertebrae in the neck. Experienced Doctors of Chiropractic use the least amount of pressure possible to make the adjustment. The pressure in the pinky fingers is enough to make an adjustment on a baby. It should not cause pain to the baby though they may make a face when it happens the first few times until they get used to it.

If you or someone you know has a baby with a failure to thrive diagnosis, please bring them in so we can take a look and help them get started on a path of healthy living.

  9. Children born with birth defects is becoming more & more common these days. I blame a lot of it on drugs, food additives and pollution, but either way, this "failure to thrive" thing must be rare because a lot of babies I see today, are actually overweight like the majority of the people in this country.

  10. Many people wouldn't consider Chiropractic care take care of youngsters. However, the simple fact is, youngsters are very, very vulnerable to misalignments from the spine. Their spinal vertebrae aren't fully created, nor are their ligaments and tendons fully increased. This, together with the truth that a young child falls enough occasions per day to hospitalize a grownup, causes it to be obvious children ought to be examined with a chiropractic specialist for spine irregularities.
