Perfect for All Age Groups

Chiropractic care can offer benefits to children across all age groups, from infants to teenagers, by supporting their physical development and addressing a wide range of health concerns. Each stage of growth brings unique challenges, and chiropractic care can be tailored to meet the specific needs of children at different ages.

Infants

For infants, chiropractic care focuses on the gentle realignment of the spine and nervous system. Birth can be physically stressful for newborns, potentially leading to spinal misalignments that may cause issues like colic, reflux, and difficulty sleeping. Pediatric chiropractors use extremely light pressure to help correct these misalignments, promoting better digestion, reduced crying, and improved sleep patterns.

Common Issues Addressed: Colic, reflux, sleep disturbances, latching difficulties, torticollis (neck tightness), plagiocephaly (head flattening).

Toddlers (1-3 Years)

As toddlers begin to explore their environment, they often experience falls and bumps as part of learning to walk and play. These minor injuries can sometimes result in musculoskeletal imbalances that affect their movement and posture. Chiropractic adjustment can help toddlers recover from these minor injuries, improve their balance, and encourage healthy spinal development.

Common Issues Addressed: Frequent falls, misaligned posture, developmental issues, digestive problems, knock knees, bowed knees, toe walking.

Preschoolers (3-5 Years)

Preschoolers are highly active, constantly moving, jumping, and climbing. This stage often involves rapid physical development, and chiropractic care can ensure that their growing bodies stay in alignment. Regular adjustments can also help address any issues stemming from poor posture or imbalances that may affect their movement and coordination.

Common Issues Addressed: Growing pains, poor posture, coordination problems, ear infections, recurrent colds, frequent falls, balance.

School-Aged (6-12 Years)

As children enter school, they are often required to sit for long periods, which can contribute to poor posture and spinal stress. Additionally, carrying heavy backpacks can lead to spinal misalignments and discomfort. Chiropractic care can help school-age children by improving their posture, preventing back pain, and promoting overall physical well-being. Regular adjustments can also support their immune system, reducing the frequency of colds and infections.

Common Issues Addressed: Postural issues, back pain from heavy backpacks, headaches, frequent illness.

Teenagers (13-18 Years)

Teenagers face a unique set of challenges as their bodies undergo rapid growth spurts. This period is also often marked by increased physical activity, whether in sports or other recreational activities. Chiropractic care can help teenagers manage growing pains, recover from sports injuries, and address postural problems caused by prolonged sitting, gaming, or using electronic devices. It can also play a role in managing stress and headaches, which are common during this time.

Common Issues Addressed: Growing pains, sports injuries, postural issues, stress-related tension, headaches, scoliosis.

Benefits of Chiropractic for Kids

Across all age groups, chiropractic care helps maintain a healthy spine and nervous system, which are essential for overall well-being. Regular chiropractic adjustments can boost a child’s immune system, improve digestion, support proper posture, and enhance their overall quality of life.

Active children can also benefit from chiropractic care as a preventative measure to address any lingering pains and release tensions. Kids that practise dancing, martial arts, gymnastics and other demanding activities can decrease the risk of injury with chiropractic.

So whether your child is dealing with common childhood conditions like ear infections, growing pains, or sports injuries, or you simply want to promote their overall health, chiropractic care can be a safe and effective option for children of any age.

Conditions We Can Help You With

Musculoskeletal conditions can significantly impact young patients, affecting their physical development, posture, and overall well-being. While scoliosis is one of the most well-known conditions, there are several other issues that can arise during childhood and adolescence.

Back Pain

This includes both acute and chronic back pain. Persistent back pain, whether from degenerative disc disease or other underlying issues, can be alleviated with chiropractic adjustments that help restore proper spinal alignment and reduce muscle tension.

Juvenile Arthritis

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common type of arthritis in children and adolescents. It causes joint inflammation, stiffness, and pain, often affecting the knees, wrists, and fingers. Unlike adult arthritis, JIA can interfere with a child’s growth and development.

Growing Pains

Many children experience growing pains, particularly in their legs, often during periods of rapid growth. These pains usually occur in the evening or at night and are common between the ages of 3 and 12.

Scoliosis

Scoliosis often develops during the growth spurts before puberty. This condition can range from mild to severe, with more pronounced curves potentially causing discomfort, uneven shoulders, a visible curve in the spine, or even breathing difficulties in extreme cases.

Postural Problems

Posture problems in children are becoming increasingly common, especially in today’s digital age where long hours are spent sitting or using devices. Correcting posture ealy can help prevent back pain in the long run.

Runner’s Knee

Runner’s knee is common among active children and teens. It occurs when the cartilage under the kneecap becomes irritated leading to pain, especially during activities like running, climbing stairs, or squatting.

FAQ on Pediatric Chiropractic

Is chiropractic care safe for children?

Yes, pediatric chiropractic care is safe when performed by a licensed chiropractor with experience in treating children. Chiropractors use very gentle techniques tailored to a child’s age, size, and developmental stage to ensure comfort and safety.

At what age can my child start seeing a chiropractor?

Children can benefit from chiropractic care as early as infancy. Many parents bring their newborns in for adjustments shortly after birth to address any potential spinal misalignments from the birthing process. Chiropractic care can be beneficial at every stage of development.

How does chiropractic care help with posture?

Children, especially those in school, often develop poor posture from sitting for long periods or carrying heavy backpacks. Chiropractic adjustments help realign the spine and improve posture, preventing long-term issues like back and neck pain.

Can chiropractic care help with sports injuries?

Absolutely. For active children and teens involved in sports, chiropractic care can help prevent injuries, improve recovery, and enhance athletic performance. Chiropractors can treat sprains, strains, and other common sports-related injuries while promoting proper alignment to prevent future problems.

How long does a pediatric chiropractic session last?

A typical pediatric chiropractic session lasts around 15-30 minutes, depending on the child's needs and condition. The chiropractor will take time to evaluate your child’s spine, perform gentle adjustments, and provide any necessary guidance for home care.

Will my child feel pain during an adjustment?

No, pediatric chiropractic adjustments are extremely gentle and should not cause pain. Most children experience immediate relief or feel relaxed after an adjustment. The techniques used are specifically designed to be safe and comfortable for young patients.

Can chiropractic care help with scoliosis?

Yes, chiropractic care can help manage scoliosis by improving spinal alignment and flexibility. Regular adjustments may help slow the progression of scoliosis and reduce discomfort, particularly when identified early.
