Baby Chiropractor - Won’t sit up, crawl, or try to stand Until we do this!

One of the most exciting things we do here at our office is to change people’s lives by helping them regain function that their body won’t allow…but when that happens for an 11 month old baby, it’s an even more magical moment! Meet Baby Troy.

Baby Troy visited us after seeing multiple physicians and therapists because he could not sit up and would not attempt to crawl or stand. He rolled around to achieve locomotion from one place to another, but his parents said that he appeared to be in pain when they would try to help him achieve other milestones and arched his back in protest. Troy’s mom had heard about gentle chiropractic care for babies and brought him in to see if we could help.

After one adjustment, Troy could move more without showing signs of pain, and after only his second adjustment he was sitting up on his own! Now, after just three gentle adjustments, he is sitting, crawling, and pulling himself up to stand!

We are so honored to be a part of Troy’s progress and thankful that his parents were open to the benefits of gentle chiropractic care so that he can now continue to reach important milestones. According to Australian Spinal Research Foundation, “if movement doesn’t happen, then neurogenesis, the birth of the new neurons that will create the circuitry of the brain, is compromised.” This fact has been supported by numerous studies that show how movement increases cognitive function at any age, but it is essential in development for babies. We are excited that Baby Troy is now moving like a pro and we can't wait to see his next steps...literally!
