Tummy Time Troubles? How Chiropractic Can Help Babies Thrive

Every parent has heard about the importance of tummy time, but what happens if your baby hates it? Tears, frustration, and short sessions are common—but sometimes, there’s more to the story.

Why Tummy Time Matters
Tummy time strengthens your baby’s neck, shoulders, and core muscles. It also supports healthy motor development, preparing your little one for rolling, crawling, and eventually walking.

When Baby Struggles
If your baby arches their back, favors turning their head one way, or gets fussy every time they’re on their tummy, there may be underlying tension in their spine or muscles.

How Chiropractic Helps
Gentle pediatric adjustments release areas of restriction in the spine and nervous system. This helps babies move more comfortably and freely, making tummy time less of a struggle.

What Parents Notice
• Baby tolerates tummy time longer
• Improved head movement (less favoring one side)
• Happier, calmer sessions overall

Takeaway: Tummy time should be a stepping stone, not a stress point. Chiropractic care helps babies move with ease and confidence as they grow.
