Infant Chiropractic in Franklin TN: A Foundation for Healthy Development

Why More Franklin, TN Families Are Choosing Chiropractic for Their Babies

From the moment your baby takes their first breath, their nervous system is working hard to regulate digestion, breathing, immune function, sleep, motor development—and more. But birth is one of the most physically demanding events your child will ever go through. Even under ideal conditions, the process can create tension and stress in their tiny spine and nervous system.

That’s why more and more parents in Franklin, Brentwood, Spring Hill, and Thompson’s Station are turning to infant chiropractic care as a proactive, natural way to support their baby’s development and well-being from day one.

What Is Infant Chiropractic?

Infant chiropractic care is gentle, neurologically-focused care that addresses areas of tension or miscommunication in your baby’s nervous system, known as subluxations.

Unlike chiropractic care for adults, adjustments for babies use no popping, twisting, or cracking. They’re performed with light fingertip pressure—similar in force to checking a ripe tomato.

At Three Nails Chiropractic, our focus isn’t just on the spine itself, but on how well your baby’s nervous system is communicating with the rest of the body.

Why Babies Might Need Chiropractic Care

Even a “normal” birth can place 60–90 pounds of pressure on a baby’s neck and spine, especially during:

• Long or stalled labor

• Cesarean delivery

• Use of forceps or vacuum extraction

• Inductions and epidurals

• Breech or posterior positioning

These stressors can create tension in the upper neck and brainstem—disrupting the vagus nerve and interfering with vital functions like:

• Digestion

• Sleep

• Breathing

• Emotional regulation

Common Signs Your Baby May Have Nervous System Stress

Many families in Franklin and the surrounding areas come to us for issues like:

• Colic or excessive crying

• Constipation or reflux

• Difficulty latching or nursing

• Sleep struggles

• Torticollis or flat head syndrome

• Arching of the back during feeds

These symptoms may not seem connected at first—but they often trace back to one root system: the nervous system.
