Pediatric Chiropractic in Auburn
From the birth process to bumps, falls, sports injuries and other childhood events, kids go through a lot. Our pediatric chiropractors can help get children off to the healthiest start in life.
The Importance of Infant Care
Whether your baby was in an awkward position for an extended period or you had a C-section or a vaginal birth, all of these can be traumatizing to that child. That’s why we encourage moms to bring their newborns into the practice as soon as possible after the birth so we can adjust their infant.
It’s important to note that adjustments on newborns are very gentle and only use the amount of pressure that is applied to check a tomato for ripeness.
Conditions That Chiropractic Can Address
Many common childhood issues can effectively be managed with chiropractic care. They include
- Bed wetting
- Breastfeeding/latching difficulties
- Colic
- Digestive problems
- Ear infections
- Poor posture
- Sleep difficulties
Helping Kids Feel Comfortable
If your child has never seen a chiropractor before, they may be unsure of what to expect. The first thing to know is your child is in charge. We’ll always explain to children and their parents everything we will do so they know what to expect. Parents are encouraged to ask as many questions during these appointments.
If that means that it may be two or three appointments before we ever actually adjust them because the child’s just not comfortable then, then that’s fine. We always want kids’ time in our office to be an enjoyable experience.
We do find that children enjoy coming in to see us. Our office is not like a typical physician’s office. Here, they have a fun appointment. We interact with them and keep things lighthearted.
When it comes time to adjust, we use a gentle and safe approach. Our care is tailored to each child.
Laying the Foundation for Future Care
It’s our experience that when kids have a positive time in our practice, they are likely to want to continue with care. They know that here, they won’t be given any shots!
Having regular chiropractic care throughout childhood and beyond can help them have a healthy immune system and develop optimally.
