pediatric care
specific chiropractic for children
We believe the healthiest families in the world have a chiropractor on their healthcare team and the legacy we leave depends on the health of our children. Our spines and nervous systems are the number one neglected system within preventative healthcare - not if we can help it! Today, more and more parents are seeking chiropractic care for their children for pediatric development. Our Gonstead chiropractors understand that many spinal problems seen in adults began as early as birth. The resulting irritation to the nerve system caused by spinal misalignments can be the cause of many newborn health conditions. Colic, breathing problems, nursing difficulties, sleep disturbances, allergic reactions, and chronic infections can often be traced to nerve system stress. As the child begins to participate in regular childhood activities like skating or riding a bike, small yet significant spinal misalignments may occur. If neglected, the injuries during this period of rapid growth may lead to more serious problems later in life. We believe it’s better to grow healthy children than to fix injured adults. The chiropractic care that we provide is a gentle, yet effective and affordable approach that addresses children’s health conditions associated with the nervous and musculoskeletal systems. Recent research by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) found spinal manipulative therapy safe and successful in caring for children of all ages and we offer family care plans that make chiropractic care affordable.
