Pediatric Chiropractic

In the first few years of a child’s life, a great deal of neurological and spinal development occurs. 65% of neurological development occurs in the first year of a child’s life. This period of growth and development is vital for laying a foundation of health and vitality for years to come. At the age of 2 years, a child’s spine, which protects the nervous system, doubles in size! The nervous system controls every cell, organ, and tissue in the body. In other words, a healthy nervous system is responsible for your baby’s immune, digestive, and respiratory systems! The spine is essential to how your baby heals, functions, and essentially how healthy she is.

Early on, birth trauma can put stress on the spine and nervous system, setting the stage for complications like colic, reflux, ear infections, constipation, and a stiff neck. As your baby develops and reaches milestones, it is common to experience bumps, bruises, and falls. Chiropractic care throughout the life stages helps support development, optimize health and increase your ability to adapt.

We have advanced training in gentle and specific chiropractic techniques for infants and children of all ages so they can adapt to life’s stressors and develop optimally. Your Vitality doctor has extensive training from the International Pediatric Chiropractic Association (ICPA), which offers postgraduate chiropractic education related to the care of children and pregnant women. People working for the Academy Council of Chiropractic Pediatrics (CACCP) certification have expanded knowledge and skills in adapting techniques, assessing, and evaluating of different stages of development: pregnancy, childbirth, infancy, and during infancy.
