Birth can be quite a traumatic event for a little babe and can lead to the baby experiencing many difficulties right from the start. Babies often have difficulty with nursing, sleeping, colic, reflux, constipation, ear infections and much more their first few months of life. Studies have shown that taking your child to a pediatric chiropractor can be a great tool to reducing unneeded and unnatural stress on the babies body in order to help proper development and growth. As a pediatric chiropractor, Dr. Dalton and Dr. Kristen utilize gentle and specific chiropractic adjustments to children of all ages, including infants a few days old. By the time they become toddlers and young kids, your little ones are running, learning, growing and stressing their physical bodies. Chiropractic adjustments can ensure that your little ones are in the best possible position to continue to flourish while being pain-free and functioning properly. It’s easier to build strong healthy kids than to fix sick adults. No child is too young to visit a pediatric Chiropractor.
