Chiropractic Care to Nurture Active, Thriving Kids
As kids grow and reach new developmental milestones, their bodies go through minor traumas, from learning to walk, playground falls, and recreational activities. If ignored, these seemingly small bumps could impact spinal alignment and function.
Gentle Techniques, Big Impact
You’ll be glad to know that we never use forceful adjustments with kids-in our care, they’ll never be “popped or cracked.” Instead, Dr. Sandhu, Dr. Haggard and Dr. Adair use gentle fingertip pressure and other low-force techniques such as the Activator Method tailored to your child’s age and size. This approach is both comfortable and incredibly effective for addressing issues like:
- Misalignment from birth trauma or positioning
- Postural distortions and muscle tightness
- Growing pains or joint dysfunction
- Sports injuries, repetitive strains, or trauma
Establishing a Baseline for Spinal Health
By starting chiropractic care early, we help establish a structural and neurological baseline for your child. This proactive approach allows us to identify and correct even subtle issues before they progress into more serious problems.
As your child grows, we’ll regularly check their development through occasional assessments, ensuring optimal function and alignment for active play and athletic pursuits.
Catching Scoliosis Early Matters
One of the biggest benefits of pediatric chiropractic care is catching scoliosis early. Scoliosis (a curved spine) often shows up during growth spurts and can get worse quickly if not treated. Our team is extensively trained in scoliosis-specific diagnostics, exercises, bracing protocols, and therapies to manage curvatures conservatively.
How Frequently Do Kids Need Chiropractic Care?
While every child is unique, most benefit from an initial series of adjustments followed by reassessments every 3-6 months to accommodate growth and activity levels. We always aim to keep you in the know, and will customize a wellness plan that makes sense for your family.
