Pediatric Chiropractic in Peachtree City
At Davis Chiropractic Center, we believe that natural chiropractic should be available to every member of your family-even your youngest members! We’re proud to offer pediatric chiropractic adjustments for kids of all ages and stages of life, from newborns to those finishing high school.
Benefits of Care
We’ve had the pleasure of working with numerous children (and parents) who have experienced incredible results in our care.
- Colic: Colic is a condition that affects some infants, characterized by prolonged and inconsolable crying. It can be extremely distressing for both the baby and their parents. While the exact cause of colic is unknown, it is believed to be related to the baby’s digestive system. Chiropractic care may help to relieve some of the symptoms associated with colic, by gently adjusting the baby’s spine and aiding in proper functioning of the nervous system. This, in turn, can help to improve digestion and alleviate some of the discomfort that is often associated with this condition.
- Ear infections: A study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that chiropractic adjustments were able to resolve ear infections in children who had failed to respond to conventional medical treatment. The study found that chiropractic care was safe and effective in treating ear infections, and that it had a high success rate.
- Constipation: By aligning the spine and improving nerve function, chiropractic care can help to relieve constipation by stimulating the digestive system.
- Difficulty latching: One common factor is that the baby’s head may not be in alignment with their body, which can make it difficult to nurse. Chiropractic care can help align the baby’s head and body, making it easier for them to latch on and nurse.
- Sports injuries: Kids are resilient-but they’re also prone to bumps and bruises along the way. If your child is active in sports, it’s a good idea to have them checked at our practice as we can identify misalignments before they turn into a bigger problem as your child ages. Correcting trauma now is one of the best ways to help your child thrive naturally.
- Bedwetting: There are many potential causes of bedwetting, including stress, anxiety, sleep disorders, and urinary tract infections. Chiropractic care can help to treat bedwetting by reducing stress and anxiety, improving sleep quality, and restoring normal urinary function.
- ADHD: Chiropractic care has been shown to be effective in helping kids with ADHD. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Chiropractic Pediatrics found that chiropractic adjustments helped improve symptoms in kids with ADHD, including reducing hyperactivity and impulsivity.
What to Expect
When you book a visit with our practice, we’ll begin by collecting your child’s health history and getting an idea of what brought you to seek care. We’ll then perform an exam to get a complete picture of what’s really going on in their body and nervous system.
After the exam, your doctor will make our recommendations for care. If you’re ready for them to receive an adjustment, we can do so at this time.
For small children, we invite mom or dad to lay down on the adjusting table first. We’ll then have your little one join you on top. This helps them feel calm and comfortable during the process. The adjustment is quick, pain-free, and extremely gentle. Oftentimes, kids don’t even know they’re being adjusted. After we’ll be sure to offer them a lollipop-if it’s ok with mom and dad, that is!
