Why Infants Benefit from Chiropractic Care
Birth is one of the most physically demanding experiences a human body goes through — for the baby, not just the mom. Even in a straightforward delivery, the forces on a newborn's neck and upper spine are significant. A C-section, a long labor, the use of forceps or vacuum, or a fast delivery can all create tension in the nervous system that doesn't resolve on its own.
That tension shows up as colic, reflux, difficulty latching, torticollis, sleep problems, and general fussiness. These aren't random. They're signals from a nervous system under stress.
At Reissing Health, we use the FDA-registered INSiGHT neurological scanning system1 to measure your infant's nervous system objectively before we recommend any care. No guessing. No pressure. Just data.
Dr. Devin Reissing and Dr. Jeremy Cerha are both CACCP-certified2 — a post-doctoral credential requiring 200 hours of advanced training in pediatric neurology and development. Together, they have cared for hundreds of infants in Knoxville and Farragut since 2021.

What we see in babies
Infant Conditions We Address
These are the most common reasons families bring their infants to Reissing Health. Each one is evaluated with an INSiGHT scan before any care is recommended.
Colic
Excessive, inconsolable crying in an otherwise healthy baby. Often a sign of nervous system dysregulation rather than a digestive problem. We address the neurological root, not just the symptom.
Reflux and Spitting Up
Tension in the upper cervical spine and vagus nerve can affect how the stomach functions. Many families see significant improvement in reflux after addressing nervous system tension.
Difficulty Latching or Nursing
Tension in the neck and jaw from birth can make it hard for a baby to latch effectively. We work closely with lactation consultants and often see dramatic improvement in nursing after a few visits.
Torticollis
A baby who consistently turns their head to one side, or who has a flat spot developing on one side of the head, often has tension in the neck muscles from birth. Early care makes a significant difference.
Sleep Disturbances
A nervous system stuck in stress mode doesn't settle easily. Babies who are difficult to soothe, who wake frequently, or who can't seem to relax often respond well to neurologically-focused care.
Constipation
The gut-brain connection runs through the spine. Tension in the lower spine and sacrum can affect how the digestive system functions in infants. We address the nervous system, not just the symptom.
Your baby's first visit
What to Expect
We don't rush. Your first visit is a conversation. We want to understand your baby's birth story and health history before we do anything else.
Birth History Consultation
We take a thorough birth history — delivery type, length of labor, any interventions, and what you've observed since birth. This context shapes everything we do.
INSiGHT Neurological Scan
A non-invasive scan that measures your baby's nervous system function. No X-rays. No guessing. Objective data that shows us exactly where tension is present.
Gentle Exam
We assess range of motion, muscle tone, and spinal alignment with the lightest touch. Your baby stays in your arms or on a soft table the entire time.
Review and Recommend
We walk through the findings with you and give you an honest recommendation. No pressure. No commitment required at the first visit.
