Final answer:

Infant chiropractic care focuses on relieving the nervous system through gentle spinal adjustments that are manually delivered.

Step-by-step explanation:

Back Slaps and Chest Thrust: Infant Choking



If an infant is choking, turning the baby upside down and slapping on the back may dislodge the obstructing object. To help an older person who is choking, first, encourage the person to cough. Give them a few hardback slaps to help force the lodged object out of the airway.



If these steps fail, perform the Heimlich maneuver on the person. You can easily find instructional videos online to learn how to do it. If the Heimlich maneuver also fails, call for emergency medical care immediately.
