Well said.

I'll be taking bubs to see my fantastic chiro in takanini once he's here to get him checked out - mainly so any issues are sorted as he's developing rather than having to get them sorted later on

Ive been taking Kyra to a chiro since she was a week old and i find them brilliant. They are very gentle and don't crack bones etc, they just have this device they hold against them and click to correct them - cant even feel it. Kyra tends to sleep through it. He checks every joint in her body and does a crazy voodoo type thing to figure out where her problem areas are. Its really fascinating. ]]> Tue, 23 Mar 2010 12:21:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32424&PID=976688&title=chiropractor-vs-osteopath-for-newborn#976688 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32424&PID=976677&title=chiropractor-vs-osteopath-for-newborn#976677 Author: Turtle

I plan on taking my baby to my chiro once they are born. I will go for a check up to make sure everything is in place and my chiro will do the same for baby.
I guess I don't think of my chiro in terms of just 'back' and more of my nervous system. I go mainly for problems with my migraines and also IBS and throughout my pregnancy she has adjusted things such as my round ligaments and diaphram.   I haven't seen an osteopath before, but did try cranial massage which I would try with my baby too if neccessary. ]]> Tue, 23 Mar 2010 12:13:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32424&PID=976677&title=chiropractor-vs-osteopath-for-newborn#976677 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32424&PID=976323&title=chiropractor-vs-osteopath-for-newborn#976323 Author: HuntersMama

Thats kinda my thinking. I like the Chiro 'cracking' my back. But am unsure about it for a newborn. I will have to investigate it further.
Has anyone taken there newborn to a Chiro?]]> Mon, 22 Mar 2010 21:16:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32424&PID=976090&title=chiropractor-vs-osteopath-for-newborn#976090 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32424&PID=975891&title=chiropractor-vs-osteopath-for-newborn#975891 Author: Mrs_B

I took my son to an Osteopath as he had a rough delivery (long labour ending in emerg c-section) and had a clicky jaw when he fed. Coincidence or not the next feed after we saw her it was gone. I took him a few more times after that as he was very clicky in his upper back and shoulders. I wasn't keen to take him to a Chiro as have seen them myself in the past and prefer the Osteo's more gentle approach.]]> Mon, 22 Mar 2010 19:44:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32424&PID=975891&title=chiropractor-vs-osteopath-for-newborn#975891 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32424&PID=975890&title=chiropractor-vs-osteopath-for-newborn#975890 Author: RinTinTin

I'd definately go Osteo over Chiro and I'd go to the Osteo with buuba even if there was "nothing wrong". It's always good for them to get checked out and stuff and you may be surprised with what the Osteo finds.]]> Mon, 22 Mar 2010 19:44:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32424&PID=975890&title=chiropractor-vs-osteopath-for-newborn#975890 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32424&PID=975879&title=chiropractor-vs-osteopath-for-newborn#975879 Author: myfullhouse

If there is no problem with him then why does you Chiro want to see him?
Personally I wouldn't take him to a Chiro but would see an Osteo as they have do cranial work which is easier on them. My thoughts are based on taking my boys to an osteo but also because I don't like Chiro's as the one I was seeing for months and months did nothing for my problem yet an osteo fixed it in 2 appts]]> Mon, 22 Mar 2010 19:36:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32424&PID=975879&title=chiropractor-vs-osteopath-for-newborn#975879 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32424&PID=975817&title=chiropractor-vs-osteopath-for-newborn#975817 Author: bebebaby

Hi
I hear a lot of people take there baby to see an Osteopath and get great results from this.
I see a Chiropractor and she is keen to see baby too.
Sheldon has no problems (so far) ie colic/poor feeding which I know is a reason that many people see the Osteopath.
What I was wondering is, have any of you lovely ladies taken your baby to a Chiropractor? And if so, did you feel it made a difference if there was a problem?
I guess I'm trying to figure out if its worth taking him to the Chiropractor. Or if I'm going to take him anywhere, should it be an Osteopath.
Thanks in advance.
