Pediatric Chiropractic

Did you know babies, kids, and teens can benefit from chiropractic care too?

Having your child adjusted can give them a great start to a life of healthy living!

While birth is beautiful, it's also a bit tramatic for baby. Not only do they have the pressure of each contraction moving them down into the birth canal this significatn force, once earthside they must adapt to their new world. They have gone from the completely contained, self sustaining, and protected environment to rapidly adjusting to lights, sounds, touch, breathing air, temperatures and so much more. Chiropractic care strengthens the connection between the brain and rest of the body which may help make babies tranisition into the world a little easier. Plus, all of the physical forces acting on baby during birth or the position they have been in while in utero can restrict normal motion once they're born. Chiropractic adjusments can decrease joint and muscle restriction, restore normal joint motion and allow for more free movement for baby.

Babies are adjusted alot different than adults. There is no popping, clicking or twisting when working with little humans! Babies are adjusted using sustained pressure on a specific joints or soft tissue. About 2-6oz of pressure is all you need to restore normal joint motion in a babies spine (that's about the same amount of pressure used to check if a fruit is ripe!) Most little ones either cry, wiggle, fall asleep, and sometimes even poop while being adjusted. Chiropractic adjustments for babies is gentile, safe, and effective.

Kids need chiropractic care too! Have you ever seen a baby or toddler learning to walk? What about kids playing on the playground or on trampolines? Youth sports?

Let's face it, kids just aren't as coordinated as adults. They fall ALOT when learning to walk. They stumble on the playgournd, they hit their heads and scrap their knees. It is all apart of growing up and being a kid! However, the body keeps score and all these little learning moments do add up as the child grows. Having your child adjusted and help undo these bumps and bruises and keep their brain and body connection strong and healthy.
