GENTLE, SAFE PEDIATRIC ADJUSTMENTS FOR KIDS OF ALL AGES
The nervous system controls and coordinates every other system in the entire body and when the body experiences stress to the nervous system, our body doesn't function the way it should. In children this is more evident than the general population because of the sensitivity of the growing body. Through science, it has been proven that the birthing process is one of the most traumatic experiences to a child, perhaps in their entire life! When the mother pushes and the doctor pulls, misalignments in the neck are incredibly common and when misalignments occur in the spine, putting stress on the nervous system, their tiny body can't function the way it should. These misalignments which affect the nervous system are also referred to as subluxations or "pinched nerves."
Dr. Erik is a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) and has spent numerous post graduate hours honing his skills in pediatric and maternal care.
INFANTS AND CHILDREN
Children come to our office suffering from allergies, colic, ear infections, ADHD, chronic colds as well as numerous other issues. Some people choose to accept these issues as 'normal' yet these issues aren't 'normal' at all and all too often can be linked to nervous system distress. Whether these issues stem from the birthing process or the everyday falls and tumbles that come with being a child, it is incredibly important to make sure that your child is checked for any subluxations.
“Under neurologically based chiropractic corrective care we are able to restore function to the body the way it was originally intended. When stress to the nervous system is removed, research has shown that improvements can be seen in most aspects of health. When the nervous system is functioning the way it should, this results in all other systems functioning at a higher level, including the immune system, digestive system, respiratory system and cardiovascular system, among others. ”

+ How does chiropractic benefit children?
Think of the spine as not just a collection of bones, muscles, and ligaments, but instead as an entire neurological “organ” that is the key communication highway between the brain and body. When the brain and body can communicate well, kids can adapt to their surroundings better. Adapting is a key word, and why Chiropractic is so helpful to kids.
Especially kids who struggle with:
- Sensory problems
- Hyperactivity (ADHD)
- Immunity struggles
- Digestive Challenges
- And more
+ Do adjustments for children hurt?
The nervous system of a child is more sensitive than that of an adult. Thus, kids’ adjustments are different than adult adjustments. Dr.Erik is trained and certified in gentle, neurologically focused ways to adjust kids from newborn all the way to teenager.
