Conditions Our Pediatric Chiropractor Can Help With?

It can be quite distressing watching your child deal with certain persistent health issues. Your child’s pediatrician will always be your first point of contact. After they rule out major issues, you may want to turn to more natural, non-invasive ways to optimize your child’s health.

Here are some common issues that our Pediatric Chiropractic clinic can address:

  • Sleep Disturbances: Chiropractic adjustments can improve sleep patterns by reducing discomfort and promoting relaxation.
  • Breastfeeding Difficulties: Here, Chiropractic care can help your infants struggling with breastfeeding by addressing any spinal or cranial misalignments that may be affecting their ability to latch properly.
  • Torticollis: Abnormal neck positioning can often be improved with gentle Chiropractic adjustments.
  • Postural Issues: As children grow, they may develop postural problems such as scoliosis, kyphosis, or forward head posture. Chiropractic care can help correct these issues and promote proper spinal alignment.
  • Sports Injuries: Active children are prone to sports-related injuries. Chiropractic care can aid in recovery from injuries like Little League Elbow, sprains, strains, and joint pain and even help prevent future injuries.

Chiropractic care focuses on ensuring the proper function of the nervous system, which controls and coordinates all other systems in the body. By maintaining spinal health, we aim to support overall wellness and help your child lead healthier, happier lives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is Chiropractic care safe for children?

Yes, chiropractic care is safe for children when performed by a qualified Pediatric Chiropractor. We use gentle, non-invasive techniques specifically designed for growing bodies.

When should I bring my child for Pediatric Chiropractic care?

You can bring your child at any time for chiro care. But there are several key moments when it can be especially great. For instance, right after birth, Chiropractic care can help with any misalignments from the birthing process. 

As your child grows, especially during those big growth spurts, regular check-ups can ensure their spine and nervous system are developing properly. 

If your child has a fall, an injury, or shows signs of poor posture, back or neck pain, frequent ear infections, headaches, digestive issues, or trouble sleeping, a gentle Chiropractic adjustment can make a big difference. 

Even without specific issues, regular visits can be part of a healthy routine to keep your child feeling great. By addressing these things early on, you can help your child grow up healthy and pain-free.

How often will my child need to see the Chiropractor?

The frequency of visits depends on your child’s specific needs and the care plan we develop together. Some children may benefit from more frequent visits initially, followed by maintenance visits to support long-term health.

Will the adjustments hurt my child?

No, we use a very specific and super gentle techniques of adjustments for children. Most children find the experience to be comfortable and enjoyable, so much so that they look forward to their next visit!

Do I need a referral from my Pediatrician?

No, you don’t need a referral to see a Pediatric Chiropractor. However, we’re happy to work in collaboration with your child’s pediatrician or other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care.

What is the difference between Pediatric Chiropractic care and adult Chiropractic care?

Pediatric Chiropractic care differs from adult Chiropractic care in many ways:

  • Techniques Used: Our Pediatric Chiropractic techniques are much gentler than those used for adults. The adjustments are carefully tailored to the delicate and developing structures of a child’s body.
  • Approach and Communication: Our Chiropractors are skilled in working with children and creating a comfortable environment. They use kid-friendly language and approaches to make the experience enjoyable for young patients.
  • Frequency and Duration: Children typically respond to Chiropractic care more quickly than adults. As a result, they may require fewer visits and shorter adjustment sessions to achieve the desired outcomes.

Is Chiropractic care covered by insurance?

Many insurance plans cover Chiropractic care, but it’s best to check with your provider to understand your specific coverage.
