Short Answer: Yes — when performed by a trained pediatric chiropractor, infant adjustments are extremely gentle, safe, and effective.

Many parents are surprised to learn that infant chiropractic care uses NO cracking, NO twisting, and NO popping.
Instead, adjustments are done with light fingertip pressure, similar to the pressure you’d use to test the ripeness of a tomato.

⭐ How We Adjust Babies

During an infant visit, a pediatric chiropractor:

• Checks the baby’s motion, reflexes, and areas of tightness

• Uses gentle touch + subtle vibration to relax “sticky” joints

• Works with the baby’s natural flexibility

• Makes small, precise corrections to reduce tension

Adjustments are quiet, quick, and often so soothing that babies yawn, stretch, or fall asleep during the session.

A sweet note from Dr. Jess :

Why Babies Need Chiropractic

Birth - even when smooth - is a physical event.
Tightness can show up as:

• Difficulty latching

• Torticollis or flat spots

• Gas, constipation, or reflux

• Colic or excessive crying

• Preferring to look one direction

• Poor sleep or restlessness

These are all signs of tension in the spine or nervous system, which gentle adjustments can help resolve.
