Infants, Children & Chiropractic Care

Why Do Infants and Children See Chiropractors?

It is important to assess spinal health after a traumatic birth

Many parents seek chiropractic care for their infants to help with issues such as colic, digestive discomfort, reflux, or trouble sleeping. Chiropractic care may also address birth trauma, which may cause subtle dysfunction in an infant’s spine that consequently can impact nervous system regulation. As children grow, chiropractic care helps support proper posture, spinal health, and overall development. It is particularly beneficial for active children involved in sports, as it helps prevent injuries and supports their growing bodies.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Infants and Children

Infants and children may benefit from chiropractic care as they grow and develop.

For infants, gentle chiropractic adjustments may help improve sleep patterns, reduce colic symptoms, and promote better spinal health by ensuring that their nervous system functions optimally. As children get older, chiropractic care becomes important for maintaining proper posture, especially in today’s digital age where many children spend long hours sitting or using devices. Regular care may help prevent spinal issues and ensure their musculoskeletal system develops correctly.

What The Journey Looks Like

Initial Consultation

The first 30 minute visit is all about YOU. The Chiropractor will perform a thorough history and examination to assess and determine your current state of spinal health. We are committed to find out the root cause of your problem and to make sure we can help you (if not we will refer you to the right person). We will perform a spinal evaluation, posture assessment and may refer for spinal x-rays or other diagnostic imaging if clinically indicated

Report of Findings

The second 30 minute visit is all about your results.

We’ll explain our gentle approach and ensure both you and your child are comfortable with the treatment plan. Our goal is to provide a relaxing, positive experience for your child while addressing their specific health needs.

The chiropractor will discuss the findings and will recommend a tailored care plan. If an adjustment is appropriate, your first adjustment will be delivered during this appointment.

Chiropractic Adjustments

Chiropractic adjustments here at Future Chiropractic mainly focuses on manual spinal manipulations (if safe to do so), however we tailor our treatment plans according to each individual needs. Chiropractic adjustments for infants and kids are extremely gentle with minimal force. The purpose is to promote proper spinal movement and ensure the nervous system is regulating as well as possible.
