Chiropractic Care for Infant Reflux in Tempe

Watching your baby struggle with reflux is exhausting — for both of you. If you've tried thickened feeds, upright positioning after meals, and every over-the-counter remedy your pediatrician has suggested, and you're still not seeing relief, it may be worth looking at whether spinal or nervous system tension is playing a role.

Why Reflux and the Spine Can Be Connected

An infant's spine goes through significant stress during birth, and misalignment or tension in the upper spine can affect the nerves that regulate digestion. This doesn't mean every case of infant reflux is spine-related, but it's a factor worth ruling out, especially when other approaches haven't helped.

What Gentle Chiropractic Care Looks Like

Infant adjustments look nothing like what most people picture. Dr. Kayle Martinsen uses light, precise pressure specific to a baby's developing spine, and most infants tolerate the visit comfortably.

When to Consider an Evaluation

If your baby has been dealing with frequent spit-up, arching during or after feeds, or general fussiness that hasn't improved with typical reflux management, an infant chiropractic evaluation can help identify whether this is a contributing factor.
