Why would a newborn or child need to see a chiropractor?

It is part of our mission to help pregnant women achieve the best birth outcomes because we know much it can influence postpartum and infant health. The lasting effects birth has on the health of infants and children is not something that is addressed in conventional healthcare. Here is a list of some things that can cause trauma during birth:

• Very long labor

• Very short labor

• The use of Pitocin

• Pain medications

• Restricted maternal birthing positions

• Pulling or twisting on the baby’s head to help deliver their body

• Forceps or vacuum extraction

• Cesarean

When this trauma is left uncorrected it can be enough stress to kick their nervous system into fight-or-flight mode, causing many health challenges that could have been prevented. Nursing difficulties, sleep disturbances, inability to be soothed, colic, constipation, and reflux are examples and signs of spinal nerve stress in infants.

Do you accept insurance?

We do not accept insurance at Serenity Chiropractic and Wellness. We do not want insurance telling us what we can and cannot do for our community. In general, insurance companies are not focused on any preventative or wellness services. They were designed for quick, short-term symptom and disease care and treatment which is heavily invested in the conventional model of health care that too often relies on drugs and surgery.

The great news is that by not having to deal with insurance companies, office costs are kept down, so we can offer affordable care for the whole family. We will gladly provide you with the necessary documentation to get reimbursed if you’re willing to file yourself. We accept HSA and FSA forms of payment and always welcome open and honest conversations about finances. We are here to serve you and will do all that we can to help.
