Body Tension Relief in Orlando
Causes of Body Tension in Infants
Body tension in infants can cause a variety of issues, from difficulty sleeping to problems with feeding and digestion. At Arise Family Chiropractic, Dr. Santos and our team frequently see infants with body tension, often caused by birth interventions like inductions, vacuum assistance, or manual delivery techniques. This tension may affect the upper cervical spine, leading to discomfort and difficulty latching or thriving.
Body tension often stems from the birthing process, especially when interventions are involved. Stress on the mother during labor or the baby’s position during birth may lead to upper cervical misalignments. When the nervous system is overwhelmed, it can cause infants to remain in a state of tension, which might manifest as arching the back, chronic reflux, or trouble sleeping.

Our Gentle Approach to Infant Chiropractic Care
Our approach to infant chiropractic care is gentle and noninvasive. Dr. Santos and our chiropractors use techniques such as sustained contact and gentle pressure to release tension in the affected areas.
Body Tension and Tongue Ties
While we don’t directly address tongue ties, body tension often affects the success of tongue-tie revisions. Many times, parents focus solely on the tongue tie without addressing the underlying body tension or nervous system imbalance. Working with families to co-manage body tension alongside tongue tie therapy, we help ensure the baby’s body functions more cohesively, improving outcomes.
At our practice, we’ve seen babies experience a remarkable release of tension after gentle adjustments. They often become calmer, latch better, and sleep more soundly. A happy baby should be able to eat, sleep, and thrive easily; we’re here to support that process.
