“Wait… you adjust BABIES?!” 👀
Yes, and infant chiropractic care should look very different from what many people picture when they hear the word adjustment.
We’re talking gentle contact, specialized techniques, and an approach tailored to an infant’s size and developmental stage. Not the forceful movements or dramatic cracking sounds people often imagine.
In “The Well-Adjusted Family,” Dr. Lisa Geiger, D.C., featured in Pathways to Family Wellness magazine, explores the role of chiropractic care within family wellness.
Because caring for babies means understanding that they aren’t little adults. Their care should be specific to them, with appropriate training, technique, and clinical judgment.
And as always, parents deserve to understand what’s being done, why it’s being recommended, and what alternatives are available.
Send this to the person who still asks, “You adjust BABIES?!” 🤍

Pediatric torticollis is a condition in which a baby’s head remains tilted or rotated to one side, often because of muscle tightness and limited motion through the upper cervical spine. It can develop in utero or during delivery, and it can affect much more than head position.

Left unaddressed, torticollis can contribute to asymmetrical skull flattening, feeding difficulties, and delays in symmetrical movement and development.

Gentle chiropractic care is one of the most effective early interventions. The earlier torticollis is addressed, the more quickly babies often respond.

Parents may notice that their baby consistently favors one side, has difficulty turning their head equally in both directions, or strongly prefers nursing on one side. These can all be signs that it is worth having their spine evaluated.

Pain can return after a period of relief when the underlying structural pattern has not had enough time to change and stabilize.

Braces are a useful comparison. Teeth are not moved into alignment in a single appointment. They are gradually guided over time through a series of adjustments. Chiropractic care can work the same way. Each visit builds on the last as joint motion, alignment, and movement patterns improve.

Symptom relief often comes first. Structural change requires more time and consistency.

“Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live.” — Jim Rohn

That single idea is the foundation of chiropractic philosophy. The goal is not to treat pain after it arrives, but to maintain the body that carries you through every experience, every season, and every stage of life.

The spine is the conduit of the nervous system, which means it is central to how well every other system in your body functions. Regular chiropractic care keeps that system communicating clearly, adapting efficiently, and responding to life the way it was designed to. Your body is not something to manage when it breaks down. It is something to invest in while it is well.

Plantar fasciitis is one of those conditions that responds to local treatment but keeps coming back because the source is rarely in the foot itself.

The way weight is distributed through the heel and arch is determined by what is happening above it. Pelvic imbalance, leg length discrepancy, lumbar misalignment, and overpronation all alter gait mechanics in ways that create uneven load through the plantar fascia with every step. Treating the heel without evaluating the pelvis and lumbar spine is addressing the symptom while ignoring the cause.

A chiropractic evaluation looks at the entire kinetic chain, identifying where the imbalance originates and correcting it at the source. For many people who have been managing plantar fasciitis for months or years, this is the piece that has been missing.

If your heel pain keeps coming back, it may be time to look further up the chain. To schedule an appointment, visit jaffreychiropractic.com

One of the most common questions parents ask before bringing their child in for the first time is whether chiropractic care is safe for kids. The answer is yes, and the reason lies in how technique adapts to the patient.

The force used is precisely calibrated to the size and development of the child.

Pediatric chiropractic begins with the lightest of touches. Newborns and infants are adjusted with gentle fingertip pressure, progressing to a handheld adjusting instrument and drop table technique as children grow.

At every stage, the goal is the same. Restore proper motion and neurological input to the spine so the nervous system can communicate and the body can function the way it was designed to.

Shoulder pain is one of the most commonly misattributed complaints in chiropractic care. People can spend months treating a rotator cuff that was never the problem because no one evaluated the cervical or thoracic spine.

The shoulder receives nerve supply from the cervical spine through the brachial plexus. Irritation at those levels can produce pain, weakness, and numbness that closely resemble a shoulder injury. Without evaluating the neck, it can be difficult to know what is actually causing the symptoms.

The thoracic spine is equally important. Limited rotation through the mid-back changes how the shoulder blade moves, increasing the mechanical load on the shoulder with every reach, lift, and rotation. When the shoulder is repeatedly compensating for a stiff thoracic spine, pain can follow.

A thorough chiropractic evaluation looks at the cervical spine, thoracic spine, scapula, and shoulder joint together to determine where the problem is actually coming from before treatment begins.

If shoulder-focused treatment has not helped, the neck and mid-back may need a closer look.

Headaches are one of the most common neurological complaints in children and adolescents, yet they are frequently dismissed or managed with medication without any structural evaluation.

Cervicogenic headaches, those originating in the cervical spine and surrounding musculature, are a significant contributor in school-age children. The upper cervical spine has a direct relationship with the suboccipital muscles and trigeminal nerve pathways, and when that area is restricted or misaligned, it refers pain upward in patterns that are often indistinguishable from tension headaches.

Dehydration is another frequently overlooked trigger, particularly in children who are active or spending long hours in school. Even mild dehydration reduces the fluid cushioning around the brain and can produce persistent, dull headache pain that a child may not connect to how much they have been drinking.

When a child complains of head pain, neck stiffness, or sensitivity to screens and light, a chiropractic evaluation is a logical and drug-free first step. Addressing the cervical component, combined with simple guidance on hydration and posture, often produces significant improvement without the need for medication.
