Care for Constipation in Babies in York
One of the most common concerns we see in our pediatric patients is constipation. As parents, watching your little one struggle with discomfort can be heartbreaking. At Sheaffer Family Chiropractic, we understand your concerns, and we’re here to help guide you toward natural solutions for your baby’s wellness.
How the Nervous System Affects Digestion
Your baby’s nervous system controls every function in their body, including digestion. The nerves in the lower back and sacrum area of the spine send signals to the intestines, telling them to move correctly. When there’s nerve interference—what we call subluxations—these signals may not get through properly, potentially contributing to your baby’s constipation.
Our Gentle Approach to Infant Care
Rest assured, we use extremely gentle instrument techniques specifically designed for infants. Both Dr. James Sheaffer and Dr. Bobby Lawson have extensive experience working with our tiniest patients. The adjustments are so gentle that many babies sleep right through them! Your baby’s comfort and safety are always our top priority.
What Parents Can Expect
While we don’t actually “treat” constipation directly, we focus on removing nerve interference that may be contributing to the problem. We’ve witnessed many babies with constipation resolve their condition shortly after beginning chiropractic care. Our goal is to help your baby’s body function the way it was designed to, naturally and without interference.
Our approach is simple: we check for subluxations, provide gentle adjustments when needed, and support you with guidance on your baby’s overall wellness journey. You’re the expert on your child, and we’re here to serve your family’s health goals.
