Reflux Relief in Seattle
Frequent spitting up or reflux can leave your baby uncomfortable and restless, and leave you looking for answers. Chiropractic care offers a gentle, natural approach that could help reduce nervous system stress and promote smoother digestion. When your infant’s body is functioning as it should, they may feel more settled and sleep more soundly.
How Spinal Misalignments and Digestion Connect
Your baby’s nervous system plays a key role in regulating digestion. When there’s stress in the spine—especially in areas like the neck, mid-back, or pelvis—it can affect the way signals travel between the brain and the digestive organs. This interference may contribute to symptoms like reflux, gas, or trouble settling after feeds.
