Children are always on the move – running, jumping, and playing as they grow. Because their bodies and muscles are still developing, it’s important to watch over their health and encourage them to stay active.
At our office, we believe every child deserves the best start in life. Chiropractic care for infants and children is safe, gentle, and specifically designed to support young bodies as they grow and adapt.
Promotes Comfort After Birth: During pregnancy and delivery, babies can experience physical stress. Gentle chiropractic can helps ease tension, allowing your baby’s body to relax and function optimally.
Supports Healthy Development: Proper spinal alignment is essential for growing children. Adjustments may help ensure nerve and muscle systems develop in a balanced way.
Dr. Danielle uses gentle, precise techniques tailored for young bodies. Adjustments used are performed with very light pressure – about the same as checking the ripeness of an avocado. A special tool called an “activator” is used to deliver a quick, gentle adjustment, so there’s no need for twisting or “cracking”. Visits are relaxed and designed to make kids feel comfortable and at ease – even the busiest little ones!
Chiropractic care in infants looks very different than in adults. The adjustments are very gentle – no twisting/cracking/popping. Part of being a chiropractor is being able to locate subluxation patterns, such as areas of stress and nervous system tension in the spinal column and working with the body to alleviate that pattern. The result is a balanced nervous system which helps the infants adapt to changes.
