If you worry about your child’s health, you are not alone. Fussiness, irritability, poor sleeping, and digestive problems like reflux are becoming more prevalent in younger children. These problems are literally keeping parents up at night, searching for answers. If you are looking to take control of your child’s health, we may be able to help. 

Problems with the spine can create problems with neurological function. The neurospinal system includes the spine, skull, brain, spinal cord, nerves, and related soft tissues. We often think of nerves as pain signalling devices, but nerves regulate all body functions, including posture and digestion. By addressing neurospinal dysfunction, we can calm and balance the neurological system.

Here are a few reasons that a baby or child would benefit from a chiropractic spinal checkup:

1. Torticollis, one-sided breastfeeding, or difficulty with latching while feeding
2. Colic or difficulty with sleeping
3. Reflux, fussiness, or other signs of digestive difficulties
4. Recurring ear infections
5. Showing discoordination with crawling or walking
6. Falling off the couch, bed, or furniture
7. Childhood sports
8. Being a passenger in a motor vehicle accident

Pediatric chiropractors like Dr. Barbara Kaiser and Dr. Jay Greenberg use gentle, modified techniques to restore normal spinal motion and function. This helps to remove stress from the neurological system so the body can work properly again. For infants, the amount of pressure used is like what you would use to test a tomato for ripeness.
