Pediatric Chiropractic Care: Supporting Children’s Growth and Wellness
Chiropractic care for children focuses on maintaining spinal health and overall wellness from infancy through adolescence. Kids benefit greatly from early chiropractic care because it addresses misalignments and spinal stress before these issues become chronic or hardwired during development. The nervous system, which controls and regulates all body functions, is highly influenced by spinal alignment. Chiropractic adjustments can enhance these systems, supporting healthy growth and promoting lifelong wellness.
At Indian Harbor Chiropractic, Dr. Diana Gailes treats children with a variety of concerns, including allergies, asthma, digestive issues, ear infections, scoliosis, ADHD, bedwetting, sports injuries, and more. Even newborns can benefit, as the birthing process, whether natural or cesarean, can create stress on an infant’s spine. During infancy and toddlerhood, minor falls and awkward sleeping positions can also contribute to spinal misalignments, which may affect posture, mobility, and overall health.
As children grow, additional challenges such as heavy backpacks, sports activities, and poor posture can further impact spinal alignment. Regular chiropractic care helps children maintain proper posture, reduce the risk of chronic problems, and support optimal physical and cognitive development.
Chiropractic evaluations begin with a thorough consultation and assessment of spinal alignment and musculoskeletal function. Treatments are gentle, non-invasive, and tailored to each child’s size and needs. Even children who cannot fully express discomfort respond quickly to care, often showing relief and improved mobility after adjustments.
Family chiropractic care at Indian Harbor Chiropractic welcomes patients of all ages, from infants to adults, emphasizing the importance of spinal health throughout life. Early and ongoing chiropractic care helps children grow comfortably, achieve their full potential, and lay a foundation for lifelong wellness.
