Pediatric Chiropractic
There are many other reasons why children might benefit from chiropractic care, beyond just neck or back discomfort. Common concerns include torticollis, colic, ear infections, difficulty sleeping, growing pains, or persistent crying in infants.
Your child's nervous system controls every function in their growing body. When the bones of the spine are shift away from their normal position, they can cause obstructs the nervous system and disrupt the way our body functions and heals.
For example, a subtle shift in the bone at the top of the neck can affect the nerves that help the ear drain properly, contributing to recurring ear infections and other issues.
Perinatal Chiropractic
During pregnancy, your body goes through incredible changes to support your growing baby. However, those changes can often come with increased discomfort. Prenatal chiropractic care helps your body adapt safely and comfortably, reducing tension and easing pain as pregnancy progresses.
Many moms also experience shorter labor and delivery time, fewer nausea symptoms, and relief from back, neck, and joint pain.

What can chiropractic care help with in children?
Children with a properly aligned spine and neck tend to have better posture and be in better overall health. Chiropractic not only helps align the spine and neck, but also helps to clear the neural pathways. This helps the nervous system to perform well, which is vital to healthy living.

Can you receive chiropractic care during pregnancy?
Yes, you can receive chiropractic care during pregnancy! There are many structural
changes taking place as mom grows along with baby, and as she prepares for labor
and delivery. It's important to address these changes to decrease discomfort and
optimize the structure of the bony pelvis, which the baby will pass through during
delivery.

There is generally no wrong or right time to begin chiropractic care when you're expecting. Typically, pregnant women will schedule an initial chiropractic prenatal appointment at some point during the first trimester and continue care throughout pregnancy.
