Pediatric Chiropractic Care

Pediatric chiropractic care has groundbreaking benefit

Pediatrics care for children offers your family a solid foundation for wellness. Throughout pregnancy, birth, and childhood, the chiropractic lifestyle offers choices and benefits for your greater health and well-being. The ICPA has initiated a ground breaking study on the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic care for children. The preliminary results are outstanding and show that chiropractic care is safe for children. Even more significant is that parents reported improved sleep patterns, improved behavior and attitude and improved immune system function.

Why Pediatric Chiropractic Care?

Pediatric chiropractic care can be beneficial for children of all ages, infant to 18!

A baby’s spinal column will grow 50% in length over their first year of life. By age 5, our spines grow about another 20 inches. As the spinal column grows, the spinal cord that is housed within the column, grows with it. The spinal cord is part of our central nervous system and helps the baby with their reflexes and develops their motor control over time.

As chiropractors, we can help address the nervous system development via the spinal column. Not only can chiropractic help nervous system development, but we can address latching issues when it comes to breastfeeding, head shape via a cranio-sacral technique, and constipation through soft tissue techniques.

As the baby grows into a toddler, they have learned to sit up, stand, and even start walking. We recommend a patient come in for treatment throughout most big milestones to make sure everything looks good and is developing appropriately.

Signs Your Baby Could Benefit from Chiropractic Care:

Constipation, trouble latching, sleep trouble/regression, stiffness/arching when feeding or laying down, colicky/fussy, head tilt/torticollis, reflux/spitting up, delayed motor skills, or weak muscle tone.

Baby’s could also benefit from chiropractic care if the delivery was slow or difficult, rapid, or a C-section.

“Do we adjust baby’s the same way we adjust adults?”

No! When it comes to adjusting baby, we use no more pressure than we would put on our eyelids or to test the ripeness of a tomato. It is a very gentle technique that differs completely from adjusting adults.

In fact, we use gentle techniques, including an activator, for most children until at least 10 years old, depending on patient presentation and preference.

What Age is Appropriate for Pediatric Chiropractic Care?

Pediatric care does not only cover infants! As children grow up and start crawling, then walking, then running, then playing sports or finding whatever else they love, they experience life just like the rest of us. They’ll go through numerous growth spurts, get injured from sports/gym class/playing outside, develop aches and pains from sitting in school all day. They can get stressed just like adults, leading to tight muscles and migraines. We take pride in being able to help children of any age, through any life milestone.

Best Chiropractor experience I’ve ever had. All the staff is so friendly and helpful. The doctors really take the time to figure out the problem and make a treatment plan. He even gave me things to do at home to maintain the treatment I received in office.

The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming. Dr. Bradley is also very good at addressing the issues with your spine and coming up with an effective treatment plan. I also wanted to say that I continued to go here and they’ve helped me with multiple issues. I’ll come there as long as they let me.

I’ve been going to Comprehensive Chiropractic for years and I cannot recommend them enough! I have chronic back & neck issues and with their help I’ve been managing and keeping my sciatica and neck spasms at bay. Great local, family owned business to support! They also support our Veterans!

Ian Howard

I was having serious back pain due to a sports related injury. I was having a hard time sleeping through the night, getting in and out of the car, and more generally speaking living my life. Simply put, I was in a ton of pain. Dr. Bradley was able to bring me back to where I was pre-injury and helped me continue to live an active lifestyle pain free. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Dulce Mia Warren

My experience with Comprehensive Chiropractic has been wonderful in every way. From the front desk team member to my clinical care, I have felt valued, listened to, respected, and cared for. My needs are being met and my car accident pain has substantially subsided due to the gentle and cautious approach to the dry needling that I have received. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Calandra Starr

This is a great practice, they were able to get me feeling better after my first visit. Over a month into treatment and my back is feeling better than it’s felt in years. Everyone is friendly and helpful, and I appreciate the laid back environment. Would definitely recommend this practice if you’ve been in need of chiropractic care.

Wayne Kohlrust

Moving here from NM. I've enjoyed adjustments from Palmer grads and both Drs Roxy and Brad are very good. Both take the time to listen and take care of what is needed. Looking forward to more adjustments as we transition in our move. Both of us have needed our backs worked on and my wife has needed treatment that includes Dry Needling. I think it's helping! Thanks!

Julian

Dr. Knox really knows his stuff. I've been to a number of different chiropractors over the years, and I've never encountered one who is more on top of the latest techniques and technology like Dr. Knox is. I suffered a pretty nasty herniated disc in my lumbar spine 3 weeks ago that left me barely able to stand, let alone walk. With Dr. Knox's help I'm pretty much back to normal now, and he is continuing to help me get stronger. I can't recommend this place enough.

Amy Schmidt-Bennett

Dr Bradley is fantastic! He is very thorough and listens to my concerns before treating me. I really appreciate how friendly and supportive everyone is. Thank you so much!
