Why would a baby need a chiropractor?”

We are answering your FAQs about Chiropractic and kids and sharing a glimpse into The Lifehouse.
First of all - sound on for this video! 🥰🫶👣💓
Secondly - Not all adjustments have an accompanying song. But if you are a s super sweet little baby getting an adjustment then YES! Your adjustment will have sound effects and sometimes a little song - that's how we roll!

Parents might bring their babies to a chiropractor because they've noticed:
🔹Difficulty or preference turning the head to one side (torticollis)
🔹Concerns about head shape, a flat head (Plagiocephaly)
🔹Difficulty with tummy time or lying flat
🔹A baby who strongly arches or seems uncomfortable in certain positions
🔹Challenges with feeding or latching
🔹Body tension or asymmetry
🔹Delays or concerns with early movement milestones (rolling, crawling, sitting, walking)
🔹A baby who seems unusually stiff or unusually floppy
🔹Concerns following a difficult birth

Birth is a significant event for a baby - not just the moms! Whether a birth was long, very fast, assisted, involved a C-section, required significant intervention, or included a challenging position, parents may wonder whether their baby's body has adapted well afterwards.

A pediatric assessment can help identify areas of tension, asymmetry, or movement restriction that may be influencing how a baby is moving and developing - or just give parents better peace of mind.

Summer is the perfect time to plan an Ionic Detox Foot Bath with Alexandra (offered Wednesday evenings and Saturday Afternoons)

It's gentle, works with the natural detox pathways of the body and is a great way to clear out belly bloat, inflammation, lymphatic fluid and other cellular debris.

And yes...it can be a little shocking to see what the water looks like at the end of the session but Alexandra will be right there to help explain what has been released. Better out than in!
After a soothing peppermint foot rub you'll be on your way feeling lighter, relaxed and clear headed.

Give it a try! https://thelifehousehammondsplains.janeapp.com/

Will my child get "cracked"?

August is kids month at The Lifehouse and we are answering some very frequently asked questions! We get this one - a lot! And the answer is that your child will be adjusted - (not ‘cracked’).

This video shows Dr. Amy during a kids adjustment. The techniques used on most kids do not have the same type of high-velocity movement or popping sound often associated with adjustments.

How anyone is adjusted is a factor of their body size, age, development, history, mobility and comfort level - and we use dozens of different approaches to make our care unique and tailored to each person, regardless of age.

If you have a question about kids and chiropractic care - ask us! And check out our FAQ series on our social channels 🥰

What does an adjustment look like for a school-age kiddo?

One of the questions we hear most often is, "Is it the same as an adult adjustment?" Not at all.

Every adjustment is tailored to your child's age, size, and individual needs. They're gentle, specific, and often only take a few minutes.

Parents bring their school-age children in for many reasons, including:
Growing aches and pains & headaches
Sports injuries
Posture concerns
Stress, emotional regulation, and behaviour challenges
Supporting healthy nervous system function & regulation

Our focus is always on helping the nervous system regulate and adapt well—because when kids are better able to handle the physical, emotional, and sensory demands of everyday life, they have a stronger foundation for learning, growing, and thriving.

Watch this reel for a real-life look at what an adjustment can look like for a school-age child. Have questions? We'd love to answer them!

Some of my favourite moves for a tight upper back - great if you've been driving lots for summer travel, or working at your desk, or just holding tension there for no specific reason - because life can do that! 😉
Move within your own comfort level, give both versions a try (from hands and knees or from standing and leaning on a desk/counter or big outcropping of Nova Scotia granite! )

With guest appearance from Ruby 🐾 during our lunch time hike to Hobson's lake!
