Supporting your spinal health
Best Pediatric Chiropractor in Glendale, CA
Chiropractic care is beneficial for everyone, even infants and children! Chiropractic can alleviate common pediatric issues such as ear infections, colic, acid reflux and scoliosis.
Pediatric chiropractic treatments are softer and gentler than adult treatments because children’s spines are smaller and more malleable. Chiropractic adjustments can ease aches and pains in the neck, back, hips, knees, and ankles, as well as these common childhood issues:
Ear Infections
Ear infections are the most common reason parents bring their children to the doctor; 5 out of 6 kids will experience one by the time they turn three. If your child has ear infections frequently it could signal misalignment of the inner ear. Chiropractic adjustments can correct this problem by fixing subluxations and imbalances in the muscles of the neck and shoulders. By bringing the spine into alignment and alleviating tension, we can restore the correct positioning of the inner ear.
Colic
Colic is characterized by extended periods of crying for no obvious reason. It is a common condition that affects up to 1 in 4 newborn babies, typically starting in the first 6 weeks and lasting up to 6 months. Gentle chiropractic adjustments can alleviate colic by correcting subluxations caused by birth trauma and removing nerve interference that may be disrupting your baby’s digestive function.
Acid Reflux
Many babies suffer from acid reflux, which results in pain, discomfort, and spitting up. One cause of acid reflux is misalignment of your baby’s spine, which can affect their digestive system. Gentle pediatric adjustments can bring their spine back into alignment and restore their digestive function, alleviating the acid reflux.
Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that usually occurs during the growth spurt just before puberty. Chiropractic care cannot cure scoliosis, but routine adjustments can help with spinal alignment, pain reduction, and posture. In conjunction with bracing, chiropractic care can alleviate scoliosis-related pain.
Sports Injuries
The combination of active lifestyles and growing skeletal systems makes sports injuries very common in children. Chiropractic care can both correct and prevent sports injuries by keeping the body in optimal alignment.
