Is Chiropractic Care Safe for Kids?
It’s understandable that parents are wary of trusting pediatric chiropractors, as they want what’s best, safest, and healthiest for their children. When children suffer from the same aches and pains that adults do, in addition to growing pains, not all of them know it’s time to speak up and ask for care. Our pediatric chiropractor in St. Clair, Dr. Eric Marshall, can help your child live a happy and healthy life with non-invasive chiropractic care.
Least Invasive Pediatric Treatment Method
Pediatric chiropractic care is one of the least invasive treatment methods available. Our pediatric chiropractor will only recommend safe, gentle treatment methods that don’t rely on invasive procedures, surgeries, or prescription medications. There are few negative side effects of any chiropractic therapy, and typically the only side effect a child may experience is mild muscle soreness that will disappear by the next day.
Treats a Wide Range of Conditions
Pediatric chiropractic care can treat a wide range of childhood conditions using gentle but effective chiropractic therapies. Many families choose to use a pediatric chiropractor as their primary care physician during their child’s early years. The most common issues treated and managed by pediatric chiropractors are:
- Allergies
- Insomnia and sleep disorders
- Food sensitivities, dietary issues, and nutrition issues
- Irritability
- Digestive issues
- Aches and pains
- Conditions of the spine, nervous system, or muscles
- Colic
- Breastfeeding issues
- Attention or concentration issues
- Headaches
Offers Preventative Care
Many spinal conditions and deformities, like scoliosis and spina bifida, show up in early childhood. With regular chiropractic care, Dr. Marshall will be on the lookout for early warning signs of posture issues, spinal conditions, and other common childhood illness or conditions. This early identification and intervention will give your child the greatest chance of success if they do need treatment for a medical condition.
