What Is Infant Chiropractic Care?
Infant chiropractic care is a gentle, specialized form of chiropractic that focuses on removing tension in your baby’s nervous system. Our care is extremely light—using no more pressure than you'd use to check the ripeness of an avocado. It's safe, soothing, and often results in noticeable changes after just a few visits.
Our Costa Mesa-based pediatric chiropractor is trained in techniques tailored to newborns and infants, and our goal is always to support your baby’s nervous system so they can eat, sleep, and grow with ease.
Why Are Colic and Reflux So Common in Newborns?
Colic and reflux often show up within the first few weeks of life, and while the causes can vary, many are rooted in nervous system stress or tension from the birth process. Even in the most “natural” deliveries, babies can experience physical strain—especially in the neck and upper spine areas.
This tension can:
Affect the function of the vagus nerve (which helps regulate digestion and soothing)
Restrict diaphragm movement, leading to more spitting up
Contribute to poor latching and swallowing coordination
That’s where infant chiropractic care in Costa Mesa and Newport Beach CA comes in.
How Chiropractic Helps Babies with Colic

Chiropractic adjustments gently relieve tension in your baby’s spine and nervous system—helping their body return to a more calm, balanced state. When this happens, many babies with colic experience:
Less fussiness and crying
Improved digestion
Easier gas release
Longer stretches of sleep
We often hear parents say things like, “This is the first time my baby has been calm all day,” or “She slept for four hours straight after her adjustment!”
That’s because the adjustment isn’t just about the spine—it’s about helping your baby’s entire nervous system regulate and function optimally.
Supporting Reflux Naturally Through Chiropractic
Reflux can be distressing for both baby and parent. It’s often tied to nerve interference in the upper spine, which can affect how the digestive system is working. A baby with reflux might arch their back, spit up excessively, or struggle with latching or bottle feeding.
Through gentle adjustments, we help:
Improve vagus nerve function
Relieve tension around the diaphragm
Allow for more coordinated swallowing and digestion
Many families in Newport Beach, Irvine, and Corona Del Mar report significant improvements in their baby’s reflux symptoms after chiropractic care.
Infant Chiropractic and Better Sleep
One of the most unexpected benefits of pediatric chiropractic care in Costa Mesa and Newport Beach, CA is better sleep—for both baby and parents!
When your baby’s nervous system is under stress, they may struggle to settle, self-soothe, or transition between sleep cycles. Chiropractic care helps calm the fight-or-flight response and activate the rest-and-digest side of the nervous system.
This means:
Deeper naps
Fewer wake-ups
Longer nighttime stretches
For sleep-deprived parents across Orange County, that’s a game-changer.
