Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care is safe and beneficial for children of all ages, starting as early as birth. Even the birthing process can create stress on a baby’s body, making early adjustments important to support healthy development and function. Early detection is key in managing many issues that arise in infancy. Common pediatric issues we address include cranium defects, torticollis, gassiness, colic, hip dysplasia, retained primitive reflexes and neurological abnormalities. Chiropractic care also plays a role in detecting tethered oral tissues (TOTs) or tongue ties.
As children grow, chiropractic care can help with conditions like sleep disturbances and digestive issues, while supporting their immune system and reducing problems such as frequent colds or ear infections. Early chiropractic adjustments use gentle pressure to alleviate stress on the nervous system, ensuring your child’s body functions optimally.
Chiropractic and Scoliosis
For school-age children, scoliosis can develop as the spine grows. Regular chiropractic care can help detect early signs of scoliosis and support spinal alignment to prevent further progression. Adjustments help relieve any pressure on the nervous system and musculoskeletal system, and corrective exercises ensure your child grows strong with proper posture.
