Baby chiropractic melbourne care with Dr. Jim, may demonstrate a positive result in some babies,  helping babies suffering from an irritated nervous system or mechanical stresses within their bodies.

Based on 15+ years of experience, Jim recommends that babies be routinely assessed by a chiropractor to check for misalignment. In some babies, the symptoms they may suffer from may be contributed by a traumatic birth, be it a caesarean section, a ventouse or forceps extraction, or an abnormally rapid or long dry labour.
