The question every parent asks first is how much pressure is involved. The honest answer is about as much as you would use to check whether a tomato is ripe.
If you have ever heard an adult adjustment, that sound is probably what comes to mind, and it is a completely reasonable thing to be uneasy about. Adjusting an infant bears no resemblance to it.
There is no forceful movement, no twisting, and no popping. The contact is a light, specific, sustained pressure held briefly with a fingertip. Most babies find it unremarkable. A fair number fall asleep during the visit.
Most of it comes down to comfort and positioning. Parents notice something that seems physical rather than hungry or tired, and they want someone to look.
If what you are describing is something a pediatrician should look at rather than a chiropractor, Dr. Eveline will tell you that directly. That conversation is part of the visit, and we would rather send you to the right person than treat something that is not ours to treat.
You hold your baby or stay right alongside for the whole visit. Dr. Eveline explains what she is checking and what she intends to do before she does it, and she works at the pace your baby is comfortable with.
Visits are short. Infants tend to respond quickly, so care is usually brief, and we will tell you plainly when we think you are done rather than scheduling indefinitely.
Dr. Eveline Onkels has focused on prenatal and pediatric care throughout 24 years in practice. No one is too young or too old for care at this office.

Very little. The pressure used on an infant is roughly what you would use to check whether a tomato is ripe. It is light, specific, and brief. There is no forceful movement and no popping sound.
No one is too young for care at our practice. Call and describe what you are noticing, and we will tell you honestly whether a visit makes sense.
Most often it is about comfort and positioning. Parents notice a baby strongly prefers turning the head one way, favors one side when feeding, seems uncomfortable lying flat, or has become fussy in a way that seems physical rather than hungry or tired.
Always. You hold your baby or stay right alongside for the entire visit.
Yes, and that is an important part of the visit. If what you are describing needs a pediatrician rather than a chiropractor, Dr. Eveline will say so directly.
