Pediatric Chiropractic

Pediatric chiropractic care focuses on promoting the health and well-being of infants, children, and adolescents. Children may experience a variety of musculoskeletal issues, including spinal misalignments, postural imbalances, sports injuries, and developmental challenges. Pediatric chiropractors use gentle, age-appropriate techniques to assess and address these issues, aiming to restore proper alignment, improve nervous system function, and support the body's natural growth and development. Pediatric chiropractic care may help alleviate conditions such as colic, reflux, ear infections, bedwetting, growing pains, and musculoskeletal injuries. By optimizing spinal and nervous system function early in life, pediatric chiropractic care can contribute to improved overall health, posture, mobility, and vitality as children grow and develop.

Newborn and Infant Chiropractic Care

A baby’s spine starts to experience trauma as early as birth. Getting the spine into proper alignment can help with things like colic and discomfort so the baby feels better. The spinal adjustments that are done on children this young are very gentle, simply a little bit of pressure with the touch of a finger.

Children who receive chiropractic care don’t feel any pain or discomfort during adjustments. Our chiropractors are very gentle and take their cues about the child’s adjustments from the child. Contact our office today to schedule an appointment for your child.

Care for School-Aged Children

School-aged children put their bodies under a lot of stress. Everything from carrying a backpack to having to sit in class all day can put pressure on the spine. This can slowly cause the spine to slip out of alignment.

Spinal misalignment is even more common for children who play sports, especially impact sports like football. The adjustments children this age receive are a bit firmer than the ones for babies, but they’re still very gentle.

As the spine goes back into proper alignment, the child might be able to concentrate better. The kids
may not feel aches and pains like what they might have considered normal before their adjustments.

Chiropractic care is cumulative, so everyone in the family can enjoy more benefits with each visit. Keeping up with the appointments and following any supplemental care instructions can enhance the benefits of the adjustments they receive.
