Pregnancy and Pediatric
Gentle, Safe and Effective Care For Your Child
Chiropractic care, including prenatal chiropractic care, is completely safe for your child and also beneficial as a chiropractor during pregnancy. Here at Northside Chiropractic in Grand Rapids, Michigan, when we are adjusting a child, we use the same pressure to adjust your child as we would use to check a tomato’s ripeness. But did you also know the benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy? Pelvic balance and alignment can be crucial for labor and delivery.
Routine chiropractic care for your children is a safe, non-addictive method to helping your child stay healthy by ensuring any interference, like nerve stress and pelvic misalignment, are removed from the nervous system. This will provide your family with a strong basis for health and wellness. This is why it is vital for your children to learn good spine habits at a young age, emphasizing the importance of establishing pelvic balance and reducing joint pain and aches and pains through chiropractic adjustments.
Newborn Subloxation
Did you know 95% of newborns develop subluxations during the natural birthing process? A balanced pelvis increases the chance of moving to the right position for labor and increases the ability to have a natural delivery. If left untreated, these misalignments can be the cause of many newborn health complaints, such as:
- Colic
- Breathing Problems
- Nursing Difficulties
- Allergies
- Torticollis
- Sleep Issues
Physical therapy and chiropractic care can work hand in hand to ensure the best results. As your newborn grows, it’s vital your child receives spinal checkups so he or she can continue to hit their developmental milestones, like learning to hold their head up, sitting up, crawling, and walking. All of these milestones can be affected if your child’s spine and spinal nerve are not in correct alignment.
Toddlers & Young Children
As your child continues to grow and become more active in sports or their everyday life, small shifts can occur within their musculoskeletal system, and chiropractic adjustments can help. By receiving routine chiropractic care, Dr. Dustin, who can treat pregnant women with special care, will identify and correct these spinal misalignments to improve your child’s health and prevent future health issues.
However, if your child does suffer from an injury, Dr. Dustin and the Northside Chiropractic team can help them recover quickly through chiropractic manipulation. It is easier to raise healthy kids than try to fix problems when they become adults. This is why we stress the importance of instilling good spine habits at a young age by bringing your child in for routine chiropractic care.
