Infants and Children
Why Infants Benefit From Chiropractic
The birth process, even under normal, natural circumstances, can be traumatic to the infant’s spine and cranium. This trauma may adversely affect the infant’s nerve system function and therefore affect the infant’s future health potential.
The pull force on the baby’s head and neck during the c-section may be considerably greater than a regular vaginal birth because the uterine muscles of the mother are not assisting the delivery process. Mechanical devices such as forceps and vacuum contribute excessive stresses to the baby’s cranium, spine and nerve system.
Chiropractic Can Help Support Infants With Colic
Nilsson, in a retrospective uncontrolled questionnaire study of 132 infants with colic, found that 91 percent of the parents reported an improvement following an average of two to three patient visits.
In a 1999 clinical trial, chiropractic care was found to be more effective than dimethicone in reducing crying in infants with colic, with greater reductions observed in the chiropractic group over two weeks.
Klougart and colleagues described 316 infants suffering from colic receiving chiropractic care. Based on an analysis of diaries kept by their mothers and parent interviews, 94 percent of the patients benefited from chiropractic care.
Why Children Benefit From Chiropractic
Pediatric chiropractic care is a form of healthcare that focuses on the spine and nervous system of children. Chiropractors who specialize in pediatric care use gentle and safe techniques to help children achieve optimal health and wellness.
At our clinic, we believe that pediatric chiropractic care can provide numerous benefits for children, including:
Improved sleep
Reduced colic and digestive issues
Enhanced immune system function
Better posture and balance
Reduced ear infections
Improved behavior and focus
During a pediatric chiropractic visit, we will perform a thorough examination of your child to identify any areas of misalignment or dysfunction in the spine and nervous system. We will then use gentle techniques to restore proper alignment and function, which can help improve your child’s overall health and wellness.
Our goal is to provide safe and effective care for your child, and we will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that meets your child’s unique needs. We also believe in educating parents about the benefits of pediatric chiropractic care, so you can make informed decisions about your child’s healthcare.
Overall, pediatric chiropractic care can be a safe and effective way to help your child support optimal health, development, and wellness. If you’re interested in learning more about how chiropractic care can benefit your child, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with us today.
Why Children Benefit From Chiropractic
Falls, injuries, poor posture and things like heavy backpacks can cause spinal
misalignments, pain and strain and interfere with nerve system flow.
While chiropractic does not “treat” conditions, chiropractic can support colicky babies, and
kids with ear infections, asthma, allergies, headaches and more, because it restores
nervous system function, which controls all the systems of the body.
Chiropractic adjustments enhance kids’ quality of life. When the nervous system is functioning well, it positively impacts our emotional wellbeing and social connectedness.
Safety of Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Pediatric chiropractic care is a safe and effective way to promote the health and well-being of children. As chiropractors, we are highly trained professionals who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. We use gentle, non-invasive techniques to help children achieve optimal health.
Research has shown that pediatric chiropractic care is safe and effective. A study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that chiropractic care was associated with significant improvements in children with asthma, ear infections, and colic. Another study published in the Journal of Pediatric, Maternal & Family Health found that chiropractic care was effective in treating children with a variety of conditions, including ADHD, bedwetting, and scoliosis.
Chiropractors are trained to work with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. We use gentle, non-invasive techniques that are safe and effective for children. These techniques include spinal adjustments, massage, and stretching exercises.
