How does chiropractic pediatric care differ from treatments for adults? 

Chiropractic pediatric care differs from treatments performed on adults as the treatments are less forceful for younger patients but provide the same relief. Adult chiropractic care is also designed to fix musculoskeletal issues, providing long-term relief. Whereas pediatric care provides interim relief, helping give the body the time needed to develop and heal independently. 

Is chiropractic pediatric care safe for children? 

Pediatric care performed by an experienced chiropractor provides a safe and effective treatment method for various ailments. Chiropractic care is safer than invasive surgery or addictive pain medications, providing children with a holistic approach to their health and wellness. 

What ailments are treated by seeing a pediatric chiropractor? 

Chiropractic care can help treat many ailments or childhood disorders using holistic treatment options. These non-invasive, drug-free treatment options help treat various conditions, including headaches, asthma, respiratory illness, scoliosis, sports injuries, growing pains, and ADHD. Additionally, chiropractic care can help children with sleeping problems and limited range of motion, improve flexibility, increase mobility, and boost their coordination. 

What techniques do chiropractors use for pediatric patients? 

A chiropractor may use similar techniques on adult patients to perform spinal adjustments to correct your child’s skeletal system. In addition, chiropractic treatment helps improve blood circulation and reduce anxiety in children. Chiropractors may also suggest therapeutic exercises to strengthen muscles, helping improve your child’s coordination. Additionally, chiropractors offer nutritional counseling to help improve energy levels and reduce the risk of childhood obesity.
