"My goal as a chiropractor is to nurture the body and allow it to function at its highest level. Our office is a warm, comfortable "kid friendly" environment where mothers, fathers and their children of all ages are welcome. We provide support in a number of ways.  My staff truly enjoy seeing our "little" patients come in for care and are always willing to help out and keep them occupied, while in the office." 

Chiropractic adjustments facilitate the perfection and health innate in every child by keeping the nervous system cleared of stored stress and tension. 

Common Chiropractic Questions Parents Ask:

Why should my baby receive chiropractic adjustments? My baby is healthy!

The birth process, as amazing as it is, can be extremely stressful for both the mother and the baby. Physical stresses, such as pulling, torsion, and squeezing are all common to the birth process, even in the most natural and easy births. Add chemical input from pain medications, labor inducing drugs such as Pitocin, and physical trauma due to forceps, vacuum extraction or Cesarean section, and that is a lot of extra stress for a baby’s still developing immune and nervous systems. The adjustment facilitates the release of any tension that is being held in your baby’s system. It is a gentle and nurturing way to help your baby adapt to life “on the outside.”

Why would my child have tension in his/her nervous system?

Children are subject to many different forms of physical and emotional stress. Those backpacks are heavy! Sitting for lengths of time puts a tremendous amount of pressure on the base of the spine and on the lower vertebrae. Sports and regular horsing around create opportunities for injury and physical stress. Chiropractic adjustments aid your child in successfully adapting to the various types of input and activities we want them to enjoy.

May we maintain our regular health care routine while receiving chiropractic care?

Absolutely!!! Chiropractic care is not intended to replace regular and standard medical care, however, as your child becomes healthier as a result of our work together, you and your doctor may find less need for all types of intervention. This is good news for everyone!

What about babies who are experiencing certain difficulties such as:

Infants who are expressing any of these symptoms should see a chiropractor to help facilitate their body’s natural ability to heal. Chiropractic adjustments may greatly aid the baby and may also eliminate the need for medical intervention.

Is chiropractic care appropriate for my active toddler?

Yes. Toddlers are constantly encountering potential stresses! Imagine how many times your toddler falls on their tushie, or bonks their head! OSHA did a study that found the average child has more than 1,400 falls by the age of 10!!!  These can create patterns of stress and tension in your child’s system that may later manifest as actual illnesses or develop into spinal problems as an adult.

Chiropractic adjustments allow your child’s body to reconnect with its innate ability to heal thus allowing them full expression of radiant health.

Are there specific situations in which chiropractic care can help my child?

Yes. While chiropractic care can help with specific types of conditions or diseases, because we are releasing tension held in the nervous system, which coordinates every function of our body, chiropractic adjustments can create dramatic results for your child’s health and well being.

Children experiencing any of the following should be checked by a chiropractor:
