Chiropractic for Children

The benefits of chiropractic are not limited to adults. Pediatric chiropractic care provides your child with a healthy foundation for their health and wellness. Following childbirth, more than 95% of newborns have misalignments, so you can never start chiropractic care too early! At Wills Chiropractic, we have years of experience in treating and adjusting patients of all ages.

SPECIALIZED TRAINING MAKES OUR CHIROPRACTORS EXPERTS IN CHECKING THE SPINES OF INFANTS AS EARLY AS JUST MINUTES AFTER BIRTH.

Regular spinal checks can also reduce ear/nose/throat infections, colic, and other common issues commonly found in newborns and infants. They can also help reduce the severity of allergies and sleep disorders and facilitate better breast feeding. All chiropractic adjustments are gentle, but particularly so for pediatric patients.

OUR PEDIATRIC CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS USE NO MORE PRESSURE THAN ONE WOULD USE WHEN TESTING THE RIPENESS OF A TOMATO.

As infants continue to grow and become more mobile, chiropractic care helps ensure proper development. From supporting their own heads, to sitting upright, to crawling, walking, and running, our pediatric chiropractors will be there every step of the way. Chiropractic for kids can correct issues that may arise during the fast-paced phase of growth. Some other issues children face that can be treated with chiropractic include

• Traumatic Birth - Have your newborn checked shortly after birth to detect the effects of in-utero constraint, C-section, vacuum extraction or other aspects of a stressful birth.
• Colic - Birth trauma, even from so-called “natural” birthing experiences can often produce a child’s first nerve compromise. Lacking the ability to communicate, your baby cries. And cries.
• Ear Infections - Biomechanical restrictions in the upper spine can compromise the nervous system and immune system, making your child’s ears a breeding ground for viral infection.
• Bedwetting - Nervous system compromise in the lower back can block nerve messages responsible for bladder control. Many children regain their confidence and self-esteem with chiropractic care.
• ADHD - Many parents investigate conservative chiropractic care before exposing their children to psychotropic drugs. Reducing tension to the nervous system has produced excellent results for many.
• Asthma - By reducing neurological compromise to the bronchial tubes, lungs and diaphragm with chiropractic care, attacks can often be reduced or eliminated.
• Growing Pains - Pain of any type is a warning that something isn’t right. While considered a “phase they’re going through,” it’s usually a sign that biomechanical stress to the nervous system is present.
• Scoliosis - Instead of crude bracing or the all too common “wait and watch” approach, chiropractic care has helped countless children with this common disfigurement.
• Wellness Care - An obvious symptom isn’t required! Enjoy the peace of mind of having your infant or child checked to uncover structural or neurological problems before they become serious.

When chiropractic adjustments are used to correct these issues, they can reduce or even stop completely. Pediatric chiropractic care often gives the best opportunity for healthy growth and development. If you would like your child to enjoy the benefits of chiropractic care, schedule a consultation with us.
