Pediatric Chiropractic
Cranial Sacral Technique
Cranial Sacral Technique is a full body approach to address restrictions and subluxations in infants that occurred during the birthing process. Restrictions and subluxations can present as torticollis, plagiocephaly (flattening of the cranium), difficultly breast feeding, irritation during tummy time, witching hour, digestive issues, and colic like symptoms. This technique is gentle and focuses on infant function and biomechanics.
It is easier to raise healthy children than it is to fix broken adults.
Gonstead for Pediatrics
Gonstead technique is safe for all ages, but when used in the pediatric setting, it is much more gentle compared to caring for adults. Similar to putting pressure on your eyeball, that is how much force is used on an infant during an adjustment. Just like in adults, when the Gonstead technique is utilized in infant care it is focused on removing interference in the nervous system so your child can adapt and respond to life's stressors.
"Kids raised in the chiropractic wellness lifestyle grow up understanding that we all have within us a magnificent force called 'innate intelligence' that runs, regulates, heals, and grows our bodies."

The Benefits of Pediatric Chiropractic
There are structural benefits of chiropractic care for children as well as neurological. Chiropractic care helps your infant develop throughout the first year of life and beyond to make sure their body is given the opportunity to develop structurally, functionally, and neurologically.
