Newborn/Infant Chiropractic Care
Newborns
It is incredibly important for babies to be checked by a chiropractor soon after birth. Many health challenges that arise in childhood or even adulthood can often be traced back to subtle structural misalignments that occur during birth. The birthing process, while natural, can sometimes be quite traumatic for a newborn's delicate body, especially if assisted methods like C-sections, vacuum extractions, or forceps deliveries are used. These methods can create tension and cause slight shifts in the alignment of the upper cervical spine, particularly the top bone in the neck (the atlas).
Even a small misalignment in this area can interfere with the function of the nervous system, which controls and coordinates every function in the body. This disruption can affect a child's growth and development, potentially leading to issues such as colic, difficulty nursing, reflux, irritability, sleep disturbances, and more. Early chiropractic intervention helps ensure the spine is aligned properly, allowing the nervous system to function without interference, which is critical for healthy development.
Chiropractic care for infants is extremely gentle and safe. The amount of pressure applied during an adjustment is no more than what you would use to check the ripeness of a tomato. Our techniques are specifically designed to be soothing and comfortable for babies. Most babies sleep through their adjustments, as they find them very relaxing.
Chiropractic care is also highly effective in addressing common infant issues such as colic, nursing difficulties, acid reflux, cranial bone distortion, torticollis, and digestive problems. By ensuring that the spine and nervous system are functioning optimally, chiropractic care supports the body’s natural ability to adapt, heal, and thrive. Regular adjustments can help promote better sleep, improved digestion, and a calmer, happier baby, setting the stage for healthy development as they grow.
By having your baby checked by a chiropractor early, you’re taking a proactive step toward ensuring their body is functioning at its best from the very start, providing a strong foundation for lifelong health and wellness.
Our office is a place where mothers can find refuge and support; where children can find natural healing for their growing bodies; where community is built and lives are changed.

Family Care
Chiropractic care is an effective option for the whole family. Families who undergo regular chiropractic care often report a noticeable increase in health and energy, stating they get sick less and to a lesser degree than in the past- fewer illnesses, fewer allergies, less asthma, less fatigue, fewer headaches, and more.
With an increase in overall health comes a decrease in dependence on medication and fewer hospital bills. Unfortunately, the expense of traditional health care today is among one of the leading causes of bankruptcy for many families in the United States, and 70% of those affected have health insurance. Our goal at Golden Family Chiropractic is to find the underlying cause of the problems and correct them, allowing your body to heal and function optimally. Dr. Lauren & Dr. Katie have helped thousands of people of all ages achieve extraordinary health through chiropractic care.
