Pediatric Chiropractic
Keeping Kids Healthy
Babies are very prone to tummy issues, colic, torticollis, and sleep issues, which chiropractic can address. Adjustments have been shown to boost a child’s immune system by as much as 200%. So while the child’s immune system is developing, regular care ensures the nervous system is functioning as well as it can to help build them up. Preventative care typically reduces the number of ear infections, serious viruses, and illness.
The falls, bumps, and bruises of childhood, especially during the crawling and walking stages, may create micro-traumas that can accumulate over time. And as they grow, children become active in youth sports, which puts even more stress on their bodies. Regular chiropractic care helps keep their development on track, allowing them to hit their milestones.
A Different Approach
Dr. G doesn’t believe in trying to put a child through traditional testing (i.e. range of motion). Instead, she allows the child to play on their own and with her while she assesses their movement. Their natural movements tell a lot about any issues.
Children are adjusted in a totally different way from adults. Dr. G is extremely gentle, using Logan Basic, with about the same amount of pressure as you would use to test the ripeness of a tomato. There’s never any twisting, cracking, or popping involved.
She also plays with them a lot, and there are toys and other stuff to keep them entertained. Her children are often in the clinic playing as well, so other children feel calm and relaxed.
The Wonder of Chiropractic
Dr. G saw a two-and-a-half month old baby girl who was unable to go to the bathroom on her own. Her parents had to give her an enema weekly.
When they brought the child to the office, she adjusted her, and before they made it home, the baby went on her own, and continues to do so.
