Pediatric Care

Kids are busy and always on the move and their bodies undergo lots of physical stress with all of that activity. This can result in discomfort that is sometimes hard to recognize and can be a source of stress for parents who are wanting the best for their children.

Children sometimes have a hard time expressing if they are feeling discomfort or pain, and thus symptoms are often presented as changes in sleeping routines, eating habits or even eagerness to run and play. This can apply to children of all ages from infants to elementary age and up. Chiropractic care aims to get kids back on track with their normal routine and is incredibly safe. With youth on their side and their eagerness to get back to their normal level of activity, kids often have an excellent response to care and frequently enjoy rapid positive results.

Our introduction into the world can be both a miracle and a traumatic event, for both the mother and the baby. Babies, as resilient and tough as they are, commonly need a little extra help when it comes to how to control muscle spasms and moving their new bodies. Treatment for babies involves more frequently soft tissue work and the most gentle stretching and joint mobilization for their brand new bodies. Treatments are often performed with fingertip pressure and fun stretching that is taught to mom and dad. Babies tend to be very receptive to treatment and the at home family stretching and benefit greatly from care.

Gentle treatments for children of all ages are always performed with the utmost compassion and care. I aim to run a family practice and I orient my treatment continually to meet those standards for all members of the family. In addition to gentle hands on treatment methods, I often utilize a treatment tool called an ‘Activator’. This tool allows me to deliver a very precise pressure that is highly controlled. This increased not only the accuracy of the therapy but also the reliability of the treatment as well. This type of treatment is not only effective for patients of all ages, but incredibly appropriate for kids of all ages. It is also comfortable for children and reassuring for parents as well.
