Chiropractic Care for the Newborn

Care for the newborn is common in our office, as we’ve cared for infants as young as a few hours old! Why do newborns need tobe checked? We are all born with a spine, protecting the spinal cord which send vital messages from the brain out to the organs for proper function. This is the same process that takes place no matter what age you are. The goal of our chiropractors is to ensure there is no misalignment, that would interfere with the message the brain is trying to send to various parts of the body. A newborns nervous system is precious and still developing, requiring only the slightest misalignment to cause symptoms. We also have experience and resources to offer for nutritional/lifestyle changes to optimize your families health. Moms who bring their babes to our office for care have reported:

                 Decreased colic pain and crying

                 More comfort during breastfeeding (ensure baby’s proper mechanics)

                 Decrease in constipation and gas pains

Chiropractic Care for Toddlers & Children

Care for toddlers and children is essential to ensure that their first steps are healthy and prevent complications from their first falls! Our chiropractors regularly check children of all ages, including their own! The good news is that children usually respond very quickly to the specific adjustments are doctors give. There are times when, after children are assessed, they are sent away with no adjustment. The previous adjustment has them well on their way to a healthy future! We also have experience and resources to offer for nutritional/lifestyle changes to optimize your families health. Chiropractic care is only one piece of the puzzle! Moms who bring their children to our office for care have reported:
