Chiropractic & Pediatrics
Didn't know babies & kids can see a chiropractor? That’s okay! A lot of people are unaware of the benefits of children seeing a chiropractor!
While most people assume chiropractic is for back pain, stiff joints, and other aches and pains, it is so much more than that!
Did you know that from the time of conception until the age of 2 years old, your nervous system goes from absolutely nothing at all to more than 50% of the nervous system fully developed. Which is one of the reasons why it is imperative to ensure the nervous system is functioning and communicating properly!
Plus, being born is hard work (for mom & baby!)
So your next question probably is, “is it safe?” Yes! A lot of time little ones will sleep right through the adjustment! An adjustment for a baby looks way different than an adjustment on an adult. Dr. Kendra uses about the pressure you would use to check the ripeness of a fruit to adjust our youngest practice members.
Dr. Kendra has extensive training in seeing all ages of pediatrics. She also has her Certification by the Academy of Chiropractic Pediatrics (CACCP) through the ICPA (International Chiropractic Pediatric Association.)
Whether your child is 1 day old or 18 years old chiropractic care can help them feel great and function better.
