Pediatric Care Conditions
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.
