Accepted and Respected

Most people acknowledge the value of chiropractic care for adults. But a more normally working nervous system can help everyone. Before subjecting their children to risky drugs or hoping it’s “just a phase they’re going through,” wise parents consult our practice.

Chiropractic care for children is different from that for adults. Tailored to their age and weight, their adjustments often require no more pressure than you’d use to test the ripeness of a tomato. Children seem to innately enjoy their chiropractic care and look forward to their visits.

Can you identify the signs of spinal nerve interference in your children?


Proper maternal nutrition, exercise and regular chiropractic care help create the best opportunity for healthy prenatal growth. Baby clothes, bassinets and car seats are also concerns. These are important, but consider the trauma of the birth process.

The First Subluxation

Pulling, forcing and twisting a baby from the birth canal are still too common. Cesarean section, forceps, suction extraction or eager hands can do unseen damage. Even “natural” birthing methods can cause subluxations.

Subluxations are areas of your baby’s spine that interfere or distort controlling nerve impulses between the brain and body.

With vital neurological signals compromised, your child’s health may be impaired from his or her first breath. Other problems can appear years later.

Only a chiropractic examination can tell if subluxations are involved.
