Pediatric Chiropractic In Seattle
As adults, we are able to recognize when our bodies aren’t operating as they should. We may notice chronic pain, headaches, or poor posture. Children and infants may also have bodily issues that impair their learning and development.
Falls and minor impacts can affect spinal alignment. Even minor spinal misalignments can affect a child’s comfort and development.
Dr. Jerry Weider, DC, provides chiropractic care for infants, children, and adolescents in Seattle. Each child receives an individualized assessment and a treatment plan suited to their stage of development. Every visit is calm, and we do not perform anything that your child is not comfortable with.
If you have noticed anything concerning about your child’s posture, movement, or comfort, call (206) 783-6000 to bring them in for an evaluation.
How Can I Tell If My Child Needs Chiropractic Care?
Parents naturally wonder what the signs are indicating a child needs chiropractic care. A child’s body is indeed flexible and robust enough to sustain falls and bumps.
However, these few signs indicate a child may need chiropractic care:
- Restricted head or neck mobility
- Irregular sleep routine
- Frequent complaints of back or neck pain
- Uneven shoulders
- Difficulties while walking
Most of the time, a few gentle chiropractic adjustments help resolve these conditions to provide for a hassle-free childhood.Â
Common Symptoms in Pediatric Patients
Children cannot communicate about the physical discomfort they experience with their parents. Chiropractic treatment involves an extensive examination to identify the possible underlying causes of a child’s problem.
We try to resolve the issues before they become inbred in your child’s body systems. Here is a list of the medical conditions chiropractic can treat.
- Colic
- Sleep discomfort, bedwetting
- ADHD
- Earaches and infections
- Frequent headaches
- Asthma
- Trouble during breastfeeding
