Pediatric Care
Chiropractic care for infants and kids is safe, effective and can be an important part of your child’s life. Some kids are born into this world needing a little extra help, others need some help as they grow and develop. Our doctors can help parents determine what type of treatment is necessary as your kids mature.
More information
Children should establish their chiropractic care history early in life. Just as pediatrician does a wellness check-up on your children at key milestones, so do our doctors. Important biomechanical milestones include:
- Birth
- Sitting Up
- Crawling
- Walking
- Transitioning to Sports
- Sports Performance
How will I know if my child should see a chiropractor?
During the first few years kids should schedule well visits monthly or as milestones approach. However, if you see any of the following behavior, schedule an appointment sooner:
- Infant who has colic, acid reflux, trouble nursing, head tilt, trouble sleeping, severe irritability
- Baby who is crawling unconventionally – scooting or commando crawling
- Toddler who is increasingly clumsy or falls a lot
- Walking
- Child who jumps on trampolines often
- Suspicion of scoliosis
- Any sporting or casual fall or injury
- Headaches
- Pediatrician recommendation of brace, orthotic, helmet or another device, we can offer a second opinion
We work closely with area pediatricians to maximize your child’s success with chiropractic care. There can be common, easy to treat biomechanical reasons that your child may be symptomatic which are supported by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Articles and support can be found at the AAP. Search ‘chiropractic’ for many articles and research.
During the first few years of life, essential neuro-development changes occur that are crucial to a child’s lifelong growth and development. Through pediatric chiropractic care, a child has the ability to grow and thrive right from the start. At birth, there are roughly 100 billion neurons already developed in a child’s brain; few will be produced after this point in a child’s life.
At ICT Chiropractic, Dr. Sara has extensive training in pediatric chiropractic care and is able to assess if your child is functioning at their best. Getting your child checked by a chiropractor regularly from birth ensures their neuro-spinal system is clear and connected so they can batter adapt to life stressors and develop optimally.
Connected kids with a clear nervous system experience:
- Increased sleep
- Reach milestones timely
- Decreased colic and acid reflux
- Trouble Nursing
- Diminished allergies
- Less ear infections
- Increased immune system
- Enhanced athletic performance
- Improvement in behavior
- More connection
Chiropractic does not treat these issues, but instead improves the bodies’ natural ability to heal and regulate itself by keeping the nervous system functioning at its best. At ICT Chiropractic, we are extensively trained in pediatric chiropractic care to help your little ones have the best start to life so that they may express their full potential.
