Newborn Care
Newborn Chiropractic Care
Gentle, light-touch care for the first weeks and months of life.
What is Newborn Care?
Newborn chiropractic care at Big Mountain Chiropractic uses extraordinarily gentle, light-touch techniques — no more pressure than you'd use to check a ripe tomato — to help babies recover from the physical demands of birth. Dr. Smith evaluates upper-cervical and cranial tension that can interfere with feeding side preference, head-turning, settling, and sleep, and uses safe, age-appropriate techniques (no twisting, no popping) to release those patterns. Parents stay with their baby through every visit.
