Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Pediatric Chiropractic care begins a healthy foundation for your child's health and well being. More than 95% of newborns have misalignments following childbirth, therefore, you can never start Chiropractic care too early. Dr. Tina has adjusted many newborns including her own two children.
Our office specializes in prenatal and pediatric care. Our chiropractors have received special training and have checked the spines of infants as early as minutes after birth. The birthing process can cause extreme physical trauma on the infant and the mother, however, chiropractic can minimize the trauma on the mother by ensuring that her spine and hips are in proper alignment before, while minimizing the trauma on the infant by providing proper spinal alignment as soon as possible.
Spinal checks can also reduce colic, ear/nose/throat infections, and other sicknesses in newborns and infants. They can also facilitate breast feedings and reduce the severity of allergies and sleep disorders. Pediatric adjustments are extremely gentle and use no more pressure than would be necessary to test the ripeness of a tomato. As infants begin to grow, they become more mobile. Beginning with supporting their own heads, sitting up right, and learning to crawl, children quickly proceed to walking and then running. Spinal checks can correct any spinal issues that may arise in this fast-paced phase. Some other childhood issues, such as bed-wetting and 'growing pains,' can be due to subluxations. When corrected by adjustments, these behaviors can reduce or even stop completely.
Chiropractic care can help with many issues such as colic, ear aches, sleep issues, acid reflux, asthma, allergies, ADHD, ADD, behavioral issues, and bed wetting.
"I was experiencing a lot of pain in my feet following the birth of my son. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. After seeing my PCP and being prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, I looked into the benefits of Chiropractic care. I was in so much pain from the plantar fasciitis that is because difficult for me to walk. I was unable to carry my newborn and walk because I was concerned for his safety. As part of my care plan, custom orthotics were recommended. Within days of receiving my orthotics I had a reduction in my pain. Regular Chiropractic visits and my orthotics have allowed me to be able to care for my son again!"
