Reflux & Silent Reflux Helped By Chiropractic

Reflux and Silent Reflux, if your little one has had it, you will understand first hand just how heartbreaking it can be to see your little angel in pain. This condition is where babies will either regularly bring up their feeds, often crying, very unsettled and have bouts of inconsolable crying due to stomach acid. Silent Reflux is the same condition, except the feed is not bought up by the little one. 

Not only is it heartbreaking to see your baby in pain, it is also incredibly frustrating as a parent to have often non stop crying and an unsettled baby. Unfortunately, when visiting your doctor or pediatrician your child will often be prescribed an ant-acid in an attempt to stop the symptoms. In speaking to many parents who have been through this, they have found the medication to often be ineffective and are also extremely concerned about giving their young baby a drug.

The other major danger with giving your child any medication or drug is the side effect. Every drug has a side effect and only deals with the symptom, it doesn’t get to the cause of the problem. Side effects related to ant-acids are constipation (another reason for an upset baby), swelling of the stomach, nausea and dizziness.

There is a natural answer to Reflux or Silent Reflux and the answer is Chiropractic Care. There are many people who still aren’t aware of the benefits of regular Chiropractic Adjustments for their baby or growing child, yet every day, millions of families, including new born babies, go and see their Chiropractor for a spine and nervous system check up and Chiropractic Adjustment. 

A new born is very delicate as we all know, yet during the birth process, a babies neck can be stretched up to twice its normal length, placing stress onto the tiny spine and nervous system. If forceps, vacuum extraction or a caesarean is involved the stress and pressure on the babies spine and nervous system is even worse.

This stress and pressure can cause a misalignment in the spine, something Chiropractors call Subluxation. This Subluxation can prevent the brain from sending its message effectively down the spinal cord and out the nerves to the organs, glands, tissues and cells of the body. At each level of the spine, nerves exit out to different parts of the body. If a subluxation is present in the neck or cervical spine this can effect the ears, eyes, nose and throat, the heart, lungs and all muscles in the area. Health issues such as ear infections, headaches, dizziness, poor immunity, asthma, carpal tunnel syndrome to name a few can result because of this.

Specifically in children, health concerns such as Reflux, Silent Reflux, Colic, Ear Infections, Fussy Feeding, ADHD, Poor Immunity, Digestive Problems, Asthma, Allergies and Growing Pains can all be helped with Chiropractic Care.

The techniques a Chiropractor uses on a newborn are extremely different to that of a growing child or adult. The pressure used to help remove Subluxations in a newborn, is no more than pressure you would place on an eye lid. It is very gentle, yet extremely effective and there are millions of stories of how babies and children have been helped by Chiropractors, naturally, rather than having to go down the path of taking drugs, or continuing on them.
