Dr Cynthia Horner adjusts an infant.

As surprising and unusual as it may seem, it makes perfect sense to have your infant checked by a pediatric chiropractor trained and experienced in chiropractic care for infants.

Today's birthing practices are harder on infants than most realize. A mother lying on her back doesn't have gravity to help her birth her baby. With the standard birth practices babies stay in the birth canal longer and need more intervention such as the doctor assisting by pulling the baby's head, the use of forceps or vacuum distraction. When a birthing mom is given an epidural it becomes impossible for her to participate in the dance of contractions and rest necessary to effectively allow her baby to progress through the birth canal. Because of unnatural uterine constriction some babies take on a cramped posture or have a leg overhead. This can cause problems.
