Taking to her blog, the first-time mom wrote Wednesday, “Did you know chiropractors can adjust babies, too? One of rainbow’s first appointments, after the pediatrician was with a chiropractor. She still enjoys getting adjusted today!”
A link to the post shared by Holly Madison on Twitter has others weighing in on the idea of a baby being adjusted by a chiropractor. A sampling of recent tweets reads:
@hollymadison maybe not the best idea to crack unformed bones, just saying
@hollymadison hmmmm……there has just been a case in Aus where the Chiro fractured a babies spine. Sorry but don’t think it is right.
@hollymadison No scientific evidence chiropractic is beneficial for babies & children, but are risks. See http://www.ebm-first.com/chiropractic/treating-children.html … #SinghBCA
“Getting adjusted helps with gas and sleeplessness,” one person coming to Madison’s defense commented on the blog, however. “It helps with allergies and eczema. It works like magic for lots of colicky babies.”
Coincidentally, one of our bloggers just alerted us to this video of one chiropractor’s diaper-changing technique this week.
