Chiropractic Care for Infant Reflux

How do chiropractors help babies with reflux?

For many parents, dealing with infant reflux, including both visible spit-up and silent reflux, can be a source of worry and frustration. Infant reflux occurs when stomach contents flow back into the esophagus, leading to visible spit-up and discomfort. Silent reflux, on the other hand, doesn't always result in visible spit-up but can still cause discomfort due to the backflow of stomach acid. It's a common issue among infants, particularly in the first few months of life, as their digestive systems are still developing and their lower esophageal sphincter may not yet be fully matured, allowing for occasional backflow.

Chiropractic care offers gentle and natural solutions to help alleviate infant reflux and reduce spit-up episodes. By focusing on the alignment of the spine and nervous system, including the nerves that travel to the diaphragm, we can identify and address the anatomy contributing to reflux symptoms. Gentle adjustments may be applied to relieve tension which can help improve digestion and reduce the frequency and severity of reflux episodes. Our providers are highly trained in pediatric care, giving personalized recommendations and support to help your little one feel more comfortable and content.
