Pediatric Chiropractic: Growing Healthy Kids
Because healthy kids grow into healthy adults.
Why Does a Baby Need a Chiropractor?
The birth process, even a natural one, can place significant pressure on a newborn's delicate spine and neck. This physical stress can create tension and misalignment that interferes with their developing nervous system. Since the nervous system controls growth, digestion, and sleep, this interference can affect a child's ability to thrive.
The Tomato Test — How Gentle Is It?
We know that the idea of adjusting a child can be new to many parents. Pediatric adjusting is completely different from adult adjusting.
We use no more pressure than you would use to check the ripeness of a tomato. There is no popping or high-force thrusting. Most babies are so relaxed during their check-up that they sleep right through it.
