Unleash Your Child's Full Potential with Pediatric Chiropractic Care
As a parent, you want what's best for your child. You want them to be healthy, happy, and have a bright future. And while you may not think of chiropractic adjustments as being an essential part of your child's health and wellbeing, the truth is that they can be.
Pediatric chiropractic care is a drug-free and non-invasive way to address many common childhood ailments such as constipation, tongue-tie related symptoms, colic, ear infections, torticollis, reflux and even bedwetting. Chiropractic care has been shown to be an effective approach for conditions like these because it helps to balance the nervous system, which in turn allows the body to heal itself. Regular pediatric chiropractic care has also helped young patients deal with more complex issues like Autism and sensory disorders and behavioral issues like ADHD.
Pediatric chiropractic care is a safe, gentle and effective way to help your child get the relief they need from common ailments and improve their overall health. It can help reduce inflammation, stress and improve sleep quality, as well as boost the immune system and aid in neural brain development. Regular chiropractic care can also help alleviate feelings of anxiety and depression, while providing significant improvements and long-term benefits to your child's health.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Is the chiropractor good for babies?
Absolutely, chiropractic care can be highly beneficial for babies. As a pediatric chiropractor specializing in treating babies and young children, my approach is centered on the health of the nervous system, which is integral to overall body function.
When we're born, the birthing process itself can put stress on a baby's spine and nervous system. Gentle chiropractic adjustments can help align your baby's spine, improving their nervous system function, which in turn supports overall health and wellbeing.
What age can babies go to the chiropractor?
Babies can benefit from chiropractic care from as early as their first few days of life. The birthing process, whether natural or via C-section, can be quite strenuous and may contribute to misalignments in the baby's spine, which could potentially impact their nervous system function. Early chiropractic checks and gentle adjustments can help ensure that your baby's nervous system is functioning well, which is vital for their overall health and development.
That being said, it's never too late to start chiropractic care. Whether your baby is a few days old, several months old, or even a few years old, chiropractic care can offer numerous benefits at any age.
At Verve Chiropractic, I am experienced in working with babies of all ages. My approach is always gentle and tailored to the specific needs of each child, and the adjustments made are very different from those you might experience as an adult—they are extremely gentle and use only as much pressure as you'd comfortably apply to your own eyelid.
How do I know if my baby needs chiropractor?
While every baby is different and may benefit from chiropractic care in various ways, there are a few signs and symptoms that might indicate your baby could particularly benefit from a visit to a chiropractor. These include:
Difficulty Sleeping: If your baby has trouble sleeping, or appears uncomfortable during sleep, it could be a sign of discomfort due to spinal misalignments.
Feeding Difficulties: Problems with breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, such as difficulty latching or favoring one side over the other, may suggest an issue that could benefit from chiropractic care.
Digestive Issues: Regular spit-up, gas, or symptoms of colic or reflux can sometimes be improved with chiropractic adjustments.
Developmental Delays: If your baby seems to be behind in reaching certain developmental milestones, such as holding up their head, rolling over, or crawling, chiropractic care might be beneficial.
Favoring One Side: If you notice your baby consistently tilting their head to one side or favoring one side while they sleep or play, this could indicate a need for chiropractic care.
Fussiness or Irritability: If your baby is often fussy or irritable for no apparent reason, this could be a sign of discomfort due to spinal or nerve disturbances.
At Verve Chiropractic, I am experienced in examining and treating babies in a gentle, safe manner. If you observe any of these signs or have any other concerns about your baby's comfort or development, please feel free to reach out to us.
