Why Pediatric Chiropractic Care Matters: Supporting Infant Growth & Development

Why Pediatric Chiropractic Care Matters: Supporting Infant Growth & Development

In the earliest days of life, your baby’s brain and nervous system are rapidly developing. At Titan Chiropractic, we specialize in gentle, nervous system-based chiropractic care that supports optimal growth, development, and well-being for babies and children in Petaluma and beyond.

We believe every child deserves a clear, balanced nervous system—free from the stress patterns that can begin as early as birth.

How Birth Stress Can Affect the Nervous System

Even the most natural birth can place significant stress on a baby’s neck, spine, and cranial system. This tension may lead to:

• Colic and excessive crying
• Reflux or difficulty feeding
• Ear infections and congestion
• Sleep challenges
• Torticollis or favoring one side

Chiropractic adjustments help restore proper alignment and relieve tension in the nervous system—often improving function and comfort for your baby.

Benefits of Pediatric Chiropractic Care

Every adjustment is safe, specific, and adapted to your child’s age and needs. Benefits may include:

• Improved comfort and regulation
• More restful sleep and better digestion
• Greater ease with motor development
• Support for overall wellness and regulation
• Reduced frequency of ear infections or congestion

We use advanced scans and gentle techniques to help your baby’s body unwind stored tension and move toward better balance from the inside out.

Is Chiropractic Care Safe for Babies?

Yes—infant chiropractic care is extremely gentle and tailored to a newborn’s needs. Adjustments often use no more pressure than you'd use to check the ripeness of a peach.

Dr. Reilly Dolcini is trained in prenatal and pediatric chiropractic care and uses the Webster Technique for prenatal alignment support.
