Why Chiropractic Care for Children is Important
The birth process can be traumatic for babies, which is why it is so important to get your children checked for nervous interference from birth! Chiropractic care may help with conditions such as but not limited to:
Colic
Ear infections
Digestive issues (IBS, leaky gut, constipation, etc.)
Behavioral disorders (ADHD, etc.)
Sleep
Immune system
Allergies
Bedwetting
Asthma
...just to name a few!

Kids like to be kids!
That being said, sometimes you have to get on the floor and play cars with them or build with blocks or whatever it is they want to do to build trust with them. We believes it is important to include the child in the examination process and begin teaching them about health from an early age!
INFORMATION FOR PARENTS
Adjusting an infant or a child is much different than adjusting an adult. Approaches to infant and toddler adjusting involve much gentler touch. Kids usually heal faster and respond to care quicker.
How to know if your child may
be in need of an adjustment:
Fussiness/colic
Head tilt which may appear as preference to only feeding on one side, always turning their head to one side in a car seat, or when in the standing position a head tilt is noted
Crawling appears to be different
For any other questions call and make an appointment to see if your child is in need of chiropractic care.
