Dr. Bell adjusting tiny babyWith chiropractic care, you can help get your child off to a healthy start in life. Whether you have a newborn, 9-year-old, tot or teen, chiropractic is an effective way to ensure that your child has a healthy nervous system, which allows them to enjoy optimal health. Dr. Bell, our pediatric chiropractor, loves to see kids thrive with natural chiropractic care!

Addressing Birth Trauma

Did you know that 99% of the time, the birth process causes some form of trauma to a newborn? It’s probably the most trauma that you’ve ever been through in your life. So if you were in a car accident and sustained severe whiplash, you would see a chiropractor for that. So it makes sense then that right after they’re born, a baby should get checked by a chiropractor.

Childhood & Adolescent Conditions We Can Address

Here are some of the many conditions that chiropractic can address:

  • ADHD
  • Colic
  • Constipation
  • Diarrhea
  • Digestion problems
  • Menstrual cramps
  • Sleep issues
  • Torticollis

How Chiropractic Benefits Kids

  • Improves function – It’s no surprise that kids fall all the time as they’re growing. After all, they’re learning to walk, then ride a bike and engage in various sports. Children are always getting hurt in some way. The good news is, that through chiropractic care, you can keep them aligned. When they have a healthy spine, their body is going to function better and they will have fewer problems down the road.
  • Promotes positive behavior – You’ve heard the term attitude adjustment. With chiropractic care, an adjustment actually has improved the attitudes of many of Dr. Bell’s young patients. Kids always seem happier after they’ve been adjusted!
  • Helps with sports performance – Just as Dr. Bell benefited from chiropractic care when he was an athlete in high school, he loves to help his pediatric patients stay in the game. Chiropractic can help kids avoid injuries and perform at their athletic best.
  • Putting Kids at Ease – We understand that some children may be reluctant to get adjusted if chiropractic is new to them. As we always want to build trust with them, Dr. Bell will help to put children at ease.

    If a child doesn’t want to get adjusted, what Dr. Bell does most of the time is have the mom or dad lie down on their back with the child on their chest. Dr. Bell can then easily adjust the child while they’re looking at their parent so that they’re not nervous.

    Many children who come to see us love getting adjusted and enjoy their experience here. Recently, Dr. Bell heard from a 7-year-old patient, “Hey, I love Dr. Bell! He’s cool!” It’s highly fulfilling for Dr. Bell to hear comments like that.

FAQ

Will it hurt?

No, not at all. We provide gentle and specific chiropractic adjustments. We don’t adjust children the same way we do adults. For example, with an infant, we apply about the same amount of pressure that’s used to check a tomato for ripeness.

How often does my child need to be adjusted?

Children typically require fewer visits than adults to promote and restore optimum function. The number of adjustments and visits will vary due to the unique needs of each child.

Is chiropractic safe for my kids?

There is abundant research that indicates that chiropractic care is safe for children of all ages. Doctors of Chiropractic have been adjusting infants to teenagers for more than a century. Chiropractic has an excellent safety record.
