Infant Chiropractic

What is Pediatric Chiropractic?

Pediatric chiropractic is a type of chiropractic care specifically for children. Chiropractors are trained to adjust the spine and nervous system to help improve overall health. For kids, this can mean helping with things like colic, ear infections, and even bed-wetting.

How Can a Pediatric Chiropractor Help with Colic?

Colic is often caused by abdominal pain and discomfort. This can be caused by a number of things, including gas, indigestion, and an immature digestive system. A pediatric chiropractor can help by adjusting the baby's spine and relieving any pressure on the nervous system. This can help improve digestive function and reduce abdominal discomfort, leading to less crying and fussiness.

What to Expect at a Pediatric Chiropractic Appointment

If you're considering taking your baby to a pediatric chiropractor for colic, you might be wondering what to expect. In our office we start with a phone consultation to find out more about your infant or child. Then we do a neurological and physical evaluation. The neurological evaluation involves a non-invasive inflammation scan while the physical evaluation includes an adjustment. After we do the evaluation we will bring you back for a report of findings visit to go over the evaluation findings, cover what to expect with our care, and go over recommendations of care.

The actual adjustment is gentle and safe for babies. The chiropractor will use their hands to apply a light, controlled force to the affected area. The whole process usually takes five to ten minutes.

Pediatric Chiropractic and Colic

It's important to find a pediatric chiropractor who is experienced and knowledgeable about treating babies. Look for someone who is a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), as this organization provides training and certification for chiropractors who specialize in pediatric care.

Please if you are concern about your child’s overall well-being please go to Pinnacle Chiropractor, you won’t regret it, they have changed our lives.
We are so thankful with Dr. Matt, Dr. Jordan and all the staff. My son is a completely different kid. We contacted Dr. Matt because my son was getting sick all the time (he had the flu twice, strep, pneumonia, and tonsilitis this year) had a really hard time sleeping and was a picky eater. His pediatrician said that he would grow out of it, just to give him time, but I felt this was not enough. I wanted my son to thrive, to be a happy, healthy kid. So I talked to my pediatrician about Dr. Matt and she said to go a head and try it, that she goes to a chiropractor as well and that it has helped her a lot. So we made the decision to go, we paid for the whole treatment (people may say is “expensive”, but it is totally worth it, I would do it all over again) and the results are just amazing. My son is happier than ever, he is sleeping better, his appetite has increased, and the most important part he is healthy. He has gotten a cold here and there but he is fighting it off so much quicker and no high fevers like he used to get.
They are a great group of people and treat the children with respect
My grandson has been being seen here for several months and we notice a marked improvement in his sleeping and ability to concentrate. The staff there is professional and manages the many kids coming in and out with ease and appointments are as scheduled and rescheduling is not a problem. They are a great group of people and treat the children with respect and always have something fun going on for them to look forward to.
