Why Pediatric Chiropractic?

Our main technique, Network Spinal Analysis (NSA,) uses extremely gentle yet effective adjustments and light touch to create positive connections from the brain to other parts of the body. We combine many techniques when working with children that allow us to treat their developing bodies safely and powerfully. Diversified technique is the most widely used adjusting style by chiropractors around the world which involves applying precise manual pressure to areas along the spine and extremities to relieve subluxated areas. Our family practice has been working with children for over 30 years and is well versed on the modifications these techniques require when working with them. Extremity adjusting is vital to a young person’s growing joints by ensuring they grow in a healthy, aligned way. With our focus on comprehensive and collaborative chiropractic care, we utilize all the tools in our toolbox to tailor a care plan that is specific to your child’s needs and health goals.

The benefits adults and children alike can expect from chiropractic are unified and simple: restoring and maintaining optimum health by clearing the central nervous system from interferences. People often ask, “when should I start chiropractic care?” Our response is, “at conception.” You can read more about pregnancy and infant care here. Using chiropractic to set a healthy groundwork for growing and developing is key for life-long wellbeing and stress management. By starting children in chiropractic care early, we prepare them for a full and productive life of health and balance.

Along with general wellness, chiropractic approaches to managing illnesses, dysfunctions, and adverse events like ear infections, ADHD, and musculoskeletal injuries have far lower rates of complications and side effects compared to conventional medical interventions. While medication and pharmaceutical therapies are necessary in certain cases, our objective is to support the body in healing naturally and innately, to make these medical interventions less frequent and less invasive. We see less than 1% of children who receive chiropractic care report adverse reactions drugs and medication.

When working with children, we teach them to better understand the signals their body is sending them and foster confidence in their ability to heal naturally. We work with your child to build positive patterns of nervous system behavior that will last into adulthood and maximize long term wellness.

As with any chiropractic relationship, we start by assessing your child’s health, talk about any challenges, and set goals. Once we have a complete and comprehensive understanding, we work with you to devise an individualized plan, unique to your child’s situation, creating an environment where everyone involved feels empowered, educated, and confident.
