Pediatric Care
Irritation to a young person’s nervous system can begin in-utero. The baby’s position in-utero and during delivery (natural or cesarean) can create stress on their nervous system. Even a “normal, healthy” birth can induce 40-50 pounds of pressure on a newborn’s neck and spine. Some of the symptoms to watch for include:
Ear infections
Colic
Sleep disturbances
Tilted head position
Difficulty breast-feeding
Reflux
Constipation or Diarrhea
Any bumps and falls can also create joint dysfunction and nerve irritation to a young person during the developmental years. This may present as:
Headaches
Growing pains
Osgood-Schlatter’s (Jumper’s knee)
Difficulty sleeping
Bed-wetting
Difficulty concentrating or staying focused
Stomach aches, heartburn, or indigestion
Sports injuries
Skin Disorders
Asthma
Allergies
Gentle Chiropractic care not only removes this nerve interference, but also stimulates the immune system while enhancing your child’s overall health. We use a combination of adjusting techniques, cranial-sacral therapy, myofascial release, soft tissue techniques and stretching to enhance your child’s health and well-being. Our evaluations also include looking at nutrition and exercise as fun ways to be healthy and have energy.
Common Pediatric Conditions can often be resolved through Chiropractic Care and at-home recommendations.
