Children, toddlers, and infants are all prone to fixations of the spine and extraspinal joints. It is extremely important to find and correct any fixations that may have occurred from the birthing process, or the numerous aberrant motions children go through when learning to sit up, crawl, and walk.

“Many parents report an improved quality of life for their children shortly after beginning chiropractic care.” |

Many spinal problems in adults can begin as early as birth. Birthing methods can stress an infant's spine and nerve system. The result to the nerve system can be the cause of many newborn health problems such as colic, breathing problems, nursing difficulties, sleep disturbances, allergic reactions and chronic infections. Since significant spinal trauma can occur at birth, it is beneficial to have newborns checked immediately. Learning to hold up the head, sit, crawl and walk are all activities that affect spinal alignment.
Please note that, chiropractic adjustments are modified to the child's size, weight, and unique spinal condition. They are gentle and safe for the child's developing structure.
At Stratton Chiropractic and Family Health Center, we take pride in helping our young patients obtain good posture and a healthy lifestyle. We diagnose and use natural alternative medicine to care for children with many childhood illnesses such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, ear infections, infant colic, bed wetting, and the whole host of infections that children develop.
