From the moment your baby comes into this world and every day after, they are exposed to stressors and traumas. The birthing process alone is traumatic on your baby’s body and issues such as shoulder dystocia, flat had syndrome (plagiocephaly), colic, and digestive issues can arise following this traumatic entry into the world. As your child gets older and more rambunctious, they are bound to experience more accidents and injuries in their life. This is where chiropractic comes into play. Making sure your child’s spine and body are as aligned as possible can help prevent future injury and allow them to heal from current and past injuries quickly.

You may have seen videos of chiropractic adjustments on adults and feel this does not look safe for all ages, and you would be correct! An adjustment for a baby looks vastly different than that of a small child, which looks different than an adult adjustment. Our doctors utilize lower force techniques for our pediatric patients that are safe and effective. Every patient is different and receives a customized adjustment based on their needs.
