Pediatric chiropractic care

Care for kids

I see many parents that tell me the importance of regular checkups for their child’s teeth, hearing, eyes, ears, nose, and throat, but draw a blank when it comes to a spinal checkup.



Our unique specialty and expertise in Pediatric Chiropractic Care comes from three main areas:

  • Need
  • Passion
  • Science

40% of kids have a chronic health condition

While kids are designed to be healthy, strong, and resilient, right now for most families that is simply not the case. Currently over 40% of children have a chronic health condition such as Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Epilepsy. Furthermore the path to those chronic conditions begins as a series of acute, early childhood illnesses that traditional medicine cannot get a handle on.


Still today parents whose children are struggling with things like colic, constipation, recurrent ear infections, allergies, sensory issues, and developmental delays are told, “Don’t worry, they’ll grow out of it.” Well, that’s simply not true.

Importance of spinal checkups

Without the proper help far too many kids today “grow into” these chronic health challenges, and suffer and struggle with their health in ways that are simply not fair.


Spinal checkups are so important because running through the spine is the spinal cord, a cable like structure that contains billions of nerve fibers. The spinal cord allows communication between the brain and the body, which controls proper function.

Vertebral Subluxation Complex

A blockage of any of the nerve fibers along the spinal cord, a Vertebral Subluxation Complex, will cause a general weakening of your child’s body and a lowered resistance to disease resulting in body malfunction and sickness.

 

The Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC) can have many causes. A baby’s head is very large and heavy compared to the rest of the body, and special care must be given to the way the head is handled during the birth process. Injuries to the spine called Traumatic Birth Syndrome can be caused by obstetrical procedures. Babies were meant to be pushed and guided out of the birth canal, not pulled and yanked out.

Childhood is a physical time

Childhood is a very “physical” time for all of us. Although they are all part of normal childhood, running, jumping, falls, and accidents can all cause VSC and nerve damage, with serious consequences.

 

It only makes sense for parents to have their children’s spines checked regularly throughout the growing years. The most gratifying thing I see in my office is an entire family coming in for regular spinal checkups.

Our care is backed by ongoing research

The vanBreda study in 1989 compared 200 children under medical care with 200 children under Chiropractic care. The health of the children receiving regular chiropractic care was far superior to that of children brought up under standard medical care. The chiropractic children had fewer ear infections, fewer allergies, fewer cases of tonsillitis, and of course, less medical treatment in the form of antibiotics, medications, and immunizations.

Spinal health is crucial for true health

Without spinal health, true health is impossible. That is why more and more families are finding neurologically focused regular chiropractic spinal checkups for their children as natural as any other regular childhood checkup.

We get to the root cause of issues

By figuring out exactly what is causing our kids to get sick, we know exactly how to help restore their health step-by-step. To say that our doctors are focused on getting to the root cause of your child’s struggle would be a drastic understatement.
