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.
