Pediatric chiropractic is one of the safest forms of children’s health care. A chiropractor does not adjust a baby or a child the same way as he or she adjusts an adult. A baby’s spine is very supple during the first few months of life, so the doctor of chiropractic applies only a slight pressure to make an adjustment. For older children whose spine is still made of mainly cartilage, slight pressure followed by a gentle push is all that is required to put the vertebra back in place.
Pediatric chiropractic treatments are extremely safe, the treatments are drug free and do not require anesthesia. Treatments use the natural healing properties of the human body.
Treatments for popular conditions of ear infections or gastric esophageal reflux disease (GERD) remove irritation to nerves which change the tension of muscles in the ear or stomach to solve the problem at it’s source.
Pediatric chiropractic has become a well established profession and many clinics are deciding to stop treating adults and only treat pediatric conditions.
