Why Parents Need to Know About Chiropractic Care for Children

Parents are often surprised to learn that many childhood complaints are linked to nervous system imbalances caused by pressure on the baby's spine or nerve during pregnancy and birth. Chiropractic care for babies and children at our family practice corrects the imbalances and help the spine and nervous system develop properly. It strengthens their backbone, joints, and muscles, so they can withstand the rigors of physical and sports activities as they grows. It is also a preventative tool against adulthood spine conditions such as herniated discs, arthritis, and degenerative disc diseases.

Ways Pediatric Chiropractic Can Help Kids

Chiropractic care for children by our chiropractor promotes spine, joint, nervous system, and immune health. Spinal adjustments correct misalignments and restore musculoskeletal and nervous system balance. An aligned spine offers better posture and prevents injury from physical or sports activities. Additionally, spinal correction is effective for improving colic, breastfeeding difficulties, growing pains, and these other conditions affecting babies and children:

• Allergies
• Asthma
• Low immunity
• Digestive problems
• Scoliosis (curved spine)
• Ear infections and earaches
• Bedwetting, ADHD, and behavioral problems

How Our Pediatric Chiropractor Will Treat Your Child

More parents are choosing non-invasive chiropractic methods to improve their children's health instead of exposing them to invasive therapies and the side effects of drugs. Before delivering any treatment at our family practice, we will examine your child thoroughly and assess the spine for irregularities. After identifying the source of his or her symptoms, we may recommend gentle adjustments of the spinal joints, bones, and tissue.

Chiropractic Adjustments: Dr. Dahl performs this technique by hand. Mobilizing the structures using gentle force takes pressure off the spine, relieves pain, restores function, and increases range of motion. Gentle exercises and massage therapies relax, soothe, and strengthen the muscles. Your child will not feel pain, although he or she may begin to feel and function better after the first treatment session.

Nutrition Program: Dr. Dhal is passionate about children's health and may recommend natural products including children's cough formula, decongestant, vitamins, supplements, or nutritional counseling to boost immunity.

Prenatal chiropractic care is an umbrella term for a number of natural services to maintain or correct the state of the spinal column and its various components, nerves, and bones in a woman who is pregnant. Correcting misalignment of spinal joints reduces stress on nerves in the spine and cultivates whole-body health. Prenatal services promote balance and alignment of the pelvis as the pregnancy advances.

Our chiropractor has special training in helping pregnant patients lessen their pain and discomfort with safe and effective methods, such as the Webster technique. Our chiropractic techniques including spinal decompression avoid any abdominal stress, and our adjustable tables accommodate the physical changes that occur during pregnancy.

An important part of prenatal chiropractic care is patient education. Our chiropractor will explain to you what is changing physically during the pregnancy and help you establish better communication with the members of your obstetrical team. 



Prenatal services are especially beneficial for these musculoskeletal problems during pregnancy:



• Sciatic Nerve Pain
• Round Ligament Pain
• Lower-Back Pain
• Sacroiliac Joint Pain
• Pelvic Girdle Pain



Pelvic misalignment can make it hard for a baby to reach the optimal position for delivery, possibly increasing the chance of a non-invasive birth, such as breech birth.



During pregnancy, you are also at higher risk for developing subluxations as your body undergoes physical changes. Our chiropractor will look for any subluxations and correct them using chiropractic adjustments. These gentle, targeted movements realign the vertebrae in the back.
