Gentle, Natural Chiropractic Care for Pregnancy, Newborns, and Children in Irving TX

Pregnancy, birth, and childhood are some of life’s most exciting stages — but they can also bring unique physical stresses. From the changes a woman’s body undergoes during pregnancy, to the physical stress of birth for newborns, to the bumps, falls, and posture challenges children experience as they grow — the spine and nervous system are constantly adapting.

At Ethos Chiropractic, Longevity & Wellness in Irving/Las Colinas, we believe every stage of life deserves a healthy foundation. With nearly 30 years of experience, Dr. Jason Black and our team specialize in safe, gentle, and natural chiropractic care for expecting mothers, infants, and children — helping families thrive from the very beginning.

Why Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy Matters in Irving TX

Pregnancy brings profound physical changes:

• A shifting center of gravity
• Hormonal changes that relax ligaments
• Added stress on the spine and pelvis
• Postural strain as the baby grows

These changes can lead to back pain, hip pain, sciatica, and discomfort that can affect daily life. More importantly, pelvic misalignments may restrict space for the growing baby, a condition known as intrauterine constraint.

Chiropractic care during pregnancy is designed to:

• Relieve pain naturally without drugs or invasive procedures
• Promote optimal pelvic alignment for easier, safer delivery
• Support nervous system function for both mother and baby
• Reduce tension and stress to improve comfort throughout pregnancy

Dr. Black has advanced training in prenatal chiropractic care, using gentle techniques that are safe and effective for both mom and baby.

Why Newborns May Benefit from Chiropractic Care

Birth, even under the best circumstances, places tremendous stress on a baby’s spine and nervous system. C-sections, forceps, vacuum extraction, and long or difficult labors can all contribute to misalignments that may interfere with a newborn’s ability to thrive.

Signs your baby may benefit from gentle chiropractic care include:

• Trouble latching or breastfeeding difficulties
• Colic or excessive fussiness
• Torticollis (head tilt) or difficulty turning the head
• Irregular sleep patterns
• Digestive upset or constipation

Chiropractic adjustments for newborns are extremely gentle, often using no more pressure than you’d use to test the ripeness of a tomato. Many parents notice immediate improvements in feeding, sleep, and overall comfort.

Supporting Children Through Every Stage

As children grow, their spines face new challenges:

• Tumbles and falls as toddlers learn to walk
• Sports injuries from athletics and active play
• Poor posture from screen time, backpacks, and desk work
• Growth spurts that stress muscles and joints

Chiropractic care helps ensure children’s spines and nervous systems stay healthy, allowing them to function at their best. Common benefits include:

• Improved posture and spinal alignment
• Fewer ear infections and colds due to enhanced nervous system function
• Better focus and energy at school
• Reduced risk of sports injuries and faster recovery times
• A strong foundation for lifelong wellness

Frequently Asked Questions

Is chiropractic safe during pregnancy?

Yes. Prenatal chiropractic care is safe, effective, and drug-free. Our adjustments are tailored to the unique needs of expectant mothers, using gentle techniques that relieve pressure and optimize pelvic balance.

Is chiropractic safe for newborns and infants?

Absolutely. Adjustments for newborns are incredibly gentle — often just light fingertip pressure. Parents are often surprised at how comfortable and safe the process is, and babies frequently relax or even sleep during care.

How soon after birth can a baby see a chiropractor?

Newborns can be checked within days of birth. Many parents choose to bring their baby in as soon as possible to ensure the spine and nervous system are free of birth-related stress.

What conditions can chiropractic help children with?

Chiropractic care doesn’t “treat” conditions in the medical sense, but by improving spinal and nervous system function, many children experience improvements in issues such as colic, ear infections, sleep disturbances, posture problems, growing pains, and sports-related injuries.

How often should children get adjusted?

The frequency depends on your child’s age, activity level, and specific needs. Some children benefit from regular checkups (just like dental visits) to ensure proper growth and posture, while others may need short-term care for a specific issue. Dr. Black customizes recommendations for every child.

Will my insurance cover pediatric chiropractic care?

Ethos Chiropractic is an out-of-network provider, which allows us to offer the highest-quality care without insurance restrictions. Many families find the investment worthwhile for the long-term health of their children. We’ll provide documentation for reimbursement if applicable.
