PEDIATRIC CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Book Now
While chiropractic care has mostly been sought out for pain or injury relief, chiropractic adjustment is also widely used for improving individual health and wellness - not just for adults but also for kids (babies even).
Is Pediatric Chiropractor Safe for my child?
Our resident chiropractor, Dr. Tanya Reynolds is also a mother of 2 so we understand your concern for your baby. People think that the force used in normal chiropractic adjustment for adults is the same for kids and babies.
But this is a misconception about Pediatric Chiropractic Care. Because not only are the techniques modified for the size and spinal condition of your baby, but an infant’s spine rarely has the long-standing muscle tightness seen in adults. And this is why chiropractic adjustment for children is very gentle.
Spinal adjustment for newborn and infants uses no more pressure than the pressure you use to test the ripeness of a tomato. Pediatric Chiropractic Care will neither injure nor hurt your child.
Benefits of Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Children, not just babies, can benefit from spinal adjustments throughout their formative years. And a lot of parents have commented that they see almost instant improvements in the well-being of their child after giving them a spinal adjustment.
How can my baby benefit from Pediatric Chiropractic?
Below are the list of benefits your child may receive from pediatric chiropractic care:
DIFFICULTY LATCHING
The nerves that run to our cheeks, tongue, lips and facial nerves can be found in the cervical spine. And we specialize in cervical adjustments that allow babies to latch onto their mother.
BIRTH TRAUMA
As one of the most traumatic experiences we go through in life, the birthing process can cause a misalignment (subluxation) of the skull, spinal and nervous system.
But a gentle chiropractic care will slowly allow the body of your baby to be restored to normal - and function to the best of its ability.
EAR INFECTION
Performing specific cervical adjustments will remove any interference in the nerves running to the ear, allowing optimal ear function.
POSTURE CORRECTION
Posture is a bigger problem today with kids because of the long hours they spend on smartphones, game consoles or computers. And bad posture may cause disrupted digestion and poor sleep (even lack of motivation) which hinders your child’s growth and development.
Our chiropractors will correct and improve your kid’s posture with posture correction tools, posture exercises and stretches designed to strengthen muscle groups that support p posture.
DIGESTION
Subluxations found in the thoracic and lumbar spine causes nerve pressure. And by relieving pressure from those nerves with chiropractic adjustments , the stomach, small, and large intestine are able to digest properly.
GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
Toddlers and kids spend a lot of time exploring their bodies, learning how to walk, crawl, run, skip, and jump!
Lots of fun but these are high impact movements on the body - which are totally normal - but you can get your kid’s body set up for success by starting early with spinal check ups and if necessary, adjustments, so that they have good spine health as teenagers and adults.
