Chiropractic care for children
Small bodies are on the move- starting in utero with kicks and topsy turns all the way to falls on the playground. Areas on little ones can get tight and stuck. Chiropractic care can help improve their mobility, decrease discomfort, enhance their body awareness, and prevent long term problems.
Treatments look a little different for kids than typical adult chiropractic care. The primary treatment used is craniosacral therapy, a light touch technique. Adjustments are very gentle and focused. There is also discussion for home care and things that can be done between treatments.
Common issues:
Tongue tie
Torticollis, or preferring head one way
Breast feeding difficulties
Asymmetrical crawling
Chronic ear infections
Growing pains
Falls on bottom
