Pediatric Chiropractic

Chiropractors have been providing safe, effective, drug-free care for children for more than 100 years.  The birth process, no matter how natural the experience, can create spinal misalignments which effect how a child grows and develops if unaddressed.  For this reason more parents are electing to have their child checked by a chiropractor shortly after birth even in the absence of symptoms.  As a child grows they take all kinds of falls, trips, and spills which obviously impact musculoskeletal function and therefore nervous system function. The nervous system is responsible for growth and development and misalignments can lead to dysfunction in all areas of health.
 
Many common childhood complaints respond favorably to adjustments.  Newborn health complaints such as colic, acid reflux, breastfeeding disturbances and poor sleep habits can often be traced back to nerve system stress caused by spinal and cranial misalignments.  Childhood complaints like chronic ear and respiratory infections, asthma, bed wetting, and many other issues can often be benefitted through chiropractic by addressing the spine and nervous system.
 
Before any treatment is provided, a provider trained in pediatric care will do a thorough examination to determine what issues may exist to determine what treatment, if any, is necessary.  Treatment recommendations will be made to the parent/guardian so they understand the treatment to be given.
