Pediatric Chiropractic Care Clark
More and more, today’s parents are looking for natural options in their children’s health care. You don’t want to have to resort to medications with devastating risks and side effects. Many people turn to chiropractic as a solution to a variety of concerns:
- Allergies
- Ear infections
- Colic
- ADD/ADHD
The Signs of a Problem
If you’re wondering whether your new baby might benefit from chiropractic care, there are some signs to watch out for. Colic, a poor appetite, an ear infection or erratic sleeping habits all indicate that there may be spinal stress. How? The birth process can be traumatic on your baby, even in natural birth. Their spine can easily become misaligned. The result can be a broad range of concerns.
As your child grows, we can make sure that they develop as they should. When they begin to walk, ride a bike or play sports, injuries are common. Writing them off as no big deal can result in bigger problems later on. The longer they’re present, the tougher they are to correct, making it essential to have your children checked early in life.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have special techniques for children?
Dr. Michelle uses a light, gentle pressure on infants and children. Your baby can even lie on you, or we can perform the adjustment while you hold them.
Is the new patient process different for children?
We’ll ask specifically about your baby’s delivery and birthing process. Otherwise, the new patient process for pediatrics is the same as for adults.
How long should I wait to have my baby checked by a chiropractor?
We recommend that both Mom and Baby have a chiropractic checkup as soon as possible after birth. We can examine you both to make sure that you’re as healthy as possible, making any needed adjustments.
