Infants & Children

Common Pediatric Ailments

It’s well-known that babies cry and that this behavior is normal. However, for a parent, it can prove difficult to determine what your baby wants when they have no other option for communication. It’s stressful for the child and the parents. Some common ailments that we see in our office are chronic ear infections, colic, reflux and constipation.

Most of the time a child’s first vertebral subluxation, or misalignment, occurs during the birthing process. We know that the birthing process is such a beautiful gift, but it can also be traumatic on the mom and baby. Research shows that the majority of births result in misalignments in the cervical spine in the infant. In addition, as your child grows and begins to walk and play, they may experience various injuries. These injuries, despite many of them being minor, may result in spinal misalignments. If these misalignments go unaddressed, they may develop into bigger issues as your child grows. Teaching your child the importance of routine visits to a chiropractor can help them build healthy habits well into their future, as well as guide them toward becoming healthy adults.

Pediatric Chiropractic Care

Spinal misalignments don’t necessarily have to occur through play. As discussed earlier, they can also happen at birth, potentially without you even knowing. Research shows that chiropractic adjustments are entirely safe for infants and children. When children receive chiropractic adjustments, it not only realigns the spine but it also improves sleep, leads to better behavior, and leads to optimal brain development.
