Why Do Kids Need Chiropractic?

The birth process itself is a significant trauma for an infant’s delicate spine, and misalignments can lead to interference in their nervous system that can affect their comfort and ability to grow and develop optimally. Many common childhood conditions, such as colic, torticollis, latching problems, poor sleep and digestive issues respond very well to our gentle chiropractic adjustments.

As kiddos get older, running and playing can lead to minor injuries that don’t seem significant—but left unaddressed, they can lead to bigger problems in adulthood. Not only that, but children who get sick frequently can often benefit from adjustments to ensure that the cervical spine is clear and aligned to help the nervous system and immune system work together properly.

Our Gentle Approach

For babies and younger children, we use a very soft, gentle technique—using just the pressure you might use to check a tomato for ripeness. For older kids, we often employ gentle Diversified or Drop Table adjustments—but if a child isn’t comfortable with those methods, we will continue to use the extra-gentle techniques. We’ll never force a child to do anything they’re not comfortable with!

Putting Little Ones at Ease

We have a staff therapy dog that kids love, and he helps them feel relaxed and comfortable. We also have toys and blankets, and little ones can be with their parents the entire time. We can even do adjustments while your child sits on your lap.

Set a Firm Foundation

We recommend bringing babies in for a check-up as soon as possible after birth, to help restore proper alignment to the spine so they can get a good start in life and set a solid foundation for health.
