The Power of Preventative Care

Getting chiropractic care throughout life, beginning in childhood, may help your body function at its peak. So for children, this form of natural care can allow them to be as close to their 100 percent potential as possible.

Providing Gentle Adjustments

It’s understandable that parents who’ve never taken their child to see the chiropractor before may wonder how their little one will be adjusted. There’s a big difference in terms of how we will adjust babies and children compared to adults.

As children’s spines are easy to adjust, we only need to use slight pressure on an area—about the amount used to check a tomato for ripeness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do children need to come in for care as often as adults?

In many cases, kids are able to heal and adapt much quicker than adults. The majority of the time, kids require less frequent care.

Why should I have my infant adjusted soon after they’re born?

Even natural childbirth can produce spinal damage that is more easily corrected if detected early. Chiropractic may gently remove any subluxation that may be present in your child’s nervous system allowing your newborn to experience healthy growth and development.

Can chiropractic help my child’s posture?

Because so many kids these days are spending significant time on their digital devices, such as texting or watching videos or shows on their tablet, postural problems can develop. Our natural care can help restore critical movement to their spines.
