What is Pediatric Chiropractic Care?

Pediatric chiropractic care is when a licensed physician, or chiropractor evaluates and treats spinal dysfunctions and other types of ailments in children.  These ailments could seriously affect their ability to function.  Some children have childhood disorders that can be treated with chiropractic care such as; asthma, scoliosis, headaches, recurrent ear infections, bedwetting, ADHD, etc.

Understanding the Signs

There are a few indications that may alert you to the need for a chiropractor.  It is not uncommon for children to deem their patterns normal, even if they are not. Some signs to look for:

  • One shoulder higher than the other
  • Restricted head or neck movement on one side
  • Problems with sleeping
  • Recurring joint pain
  • Feet that point in or out
  • Chronic earaches/infections
  • Colic
  • Bedwetting
  • Constipation

Is it Safe for a Child to Have Chiropractic Care?

The spinal adjustment procedures for children are deemed comfortable and safe.  Most of the time children receiving chiropractic care do not experience any pain during the procedures, unless they already have severe pain from previous trauma.  In most cases, the techniques used on children allow their healing to occur somewhat faster than adults.
