Infant Care
Babies can hold tension in their bodies just like adults, but caring for an infant requires a much gentler approach. At Cloud Chiropractic Clinic in Camas, WA, our chiropractors provide gentle, age-appropriate chiropractic and CranioSacral care for babies experiencing body tension, feeding challenges, head-turning preferences, jaw tension, or discomfort.
Our goal is to identify areas of musculoskeletal tension or restricted movement that may be contributing to your baby's discomfort.
Every adjustment is performed using gentle, low-force or no-force techniques specifically designed for babies. We work closely with lactation consultants, pediatric dentists, midwives, and other healthcare providers to provide coordinated, family-centered care and help your baby get the best possible start.
Support your baby’s comfort, alignment, and healthy development from the very start.
Signs Your Baby May Be Experiencing Body Tension
Parents may notice:
Clicking while breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, difficulty maintaining a latch, jaw or facial tension, head-turning preference or difficulty turning the head both directions, torticollis, general body tension or stiffness, discomfort or tension during or after feeding, excessive spit-up or gas, head flattening or positional preferences, difficulty settling or seeming uncomfortable in certain positions, tension before or after a tongue-tie release.
If you’re noticing any of these signs, schedule an infant evaluation at Cloud Chiropractic, where we’ll assess your baby’s head and neck movement, jaw and cranial tension, feeding-related movement patterns, and overall body tension to determine where gentle support may be helpful.
Our chiropractors have advanced postgraduate training in infant chiropractic, CranioSacral Therapy, craniofascial techniques, feeding-related body tension, and airway-focused care.
Frequently Asked Questions About Infant Chiropractic Care
-
Look for a chiropractor who has specific experience caring for infants and understands feeding-related body tension, oral function, jaw tension, and infant development.
At Cloud Chiropractic Clinic in Camas, WA, our chiropractors use gentle, age-appropriate techniques when caring for babies. Infant chiropractic care looks very different from the adjustments commonly associated with adult chiropractic care.
Parents often bring their babies to Cloud Chiropractic because they notice clicking while nursing or bottle-feeding, difficulty maintaining a latch, jaw or neck tension, a preference for turning the head in one direction, body tension during or after feeds, or difficulty getting comfortable.
We evaluate the baby's movement, muscle and fascial tension, jaw and neck mechanics, and overall musculoskeletal function to determine whether areas of tension or restricted movement may be contributing to what the family is noticing.
When appropriate, we also collaborate with lactation consultants, pediatric providers, ENTs, pediatric dentists, and other members of a baby's healthcare team.
-
Yes. The techniques we use with infants are different from those typically used with adults. Our doctors modify the amount of pressure and technique based on a baby's age, size, development, and individual needs.
-
Feeding is a complex process involving coordinated movement of the jaw, tongue, neck, head, and body. When parents notice clicking, difficulty maintaining a latch, a strong head-turning preference, or significant body tension during feeding, we evaluate the musculoskeletal system for areas of tension or restricted movement that could be contributing.
-
Yes. Cloud Chiropractic provides bodywork and chiropractic care for infants both before and after tongue-tie procedures. We focus on areas such as jaw, neck, cranial, and overall body tension and collaborate with other providers involved in the baby's feeding and oral-function care when appropriate.
