Pediatric Chiropractic: So Meant To Be... It Rhymes
Why would a kiddo need to see a chiro? Well, we’re glad you asked! Here’s a list of the most common concerns that we see littles for in our office:
Torticollis
Colic
Reflux
Feeding Concerns
Pre and Post Tie Revision
Turning Preference
Constipation/ Gassiness
Difficulty Sleeping
Reflux
Difficult birth/dystocia
What does a chiropractic visit look like?
For the Newbies:
They will very commonly sleep through their adjustment, wiggle a little or smile. We always joke that if we’re doing our jobs correctly, it looks like we’re doing nothing at all. Our goal is to relieve tension within their little bodies and the way to do that is through gentle pressures. An added bonus, though never guaranteed, is that pediatric adjustments can be so relaxing that it’s not uncommon for littles to leave the oce and have a large bowel movement or take a long nap!
For the Toddlers:
If your little is a bit bigger and motoring around on their own, we will very commonly work on them while they play and move around. Again, using small pressures or sometimes a little tool called an Activator to achieve the motion they are lacking in restricted areas.
What to Expect From The Visit:
What sets us apart from other offices is not only our level of pediatric training, but also the time spent with patients. We walk parents through each and every step of our treatment, explaining what we are doing and how it can help. Parents should expect their first appointment to be around 45 minutes and follow ups to be around 15-30 minutes. However, your visit doesn't end there. Almost every patient will leave with something to do at home and it is no different for our littles! We will typically send parents home with stretches, massage techniques or activities to do in hopes of speeding up the process and seeing results sooner.
