INFANTS &

CHILDREN

          Chiropractic has proven very beneficial for various health problems and musculoskeletal conditions in infants and children. Chiropractic is a safe, effective means for treating children as it results in virtually zero side effects and is conservative in nature.  Treatment of a child is much different and more gentle than that of an adult, primarily incorporating vibration and low-pressure massage techniques.

​

          One area in which chiropractors have been very effective in utilizing spinal manipulation is in treatment of ear infections in infants and children. Cervical manipulation often allows horizontally-oriented Eustachian tubes in infants and children to drain more efficiently, which prevents infection.

​

           Likewise, because of the positive impact chiropractic manipulation has on the parasympathetic nervous system, chiropractors are often able to aid in other ailments such as allergies, ADD, acid-reflux, colic, and insomnia, as well as musculoskeletal disorders such as torticollis.
