Chiropractic Care for Children in Washington DC
Gentle chiropractic adjustments can be used to treat a number of common health conditions experienced by infants, children, and teens. These include:
- Sleep difficulties
- Behavioral problems
- Immune system function issues
- ADD/ADHD
- Colic
- Chronic ear infections
- Bedwetting
- Digestive issues
- Allergies
- Asthma
- Seizures
- Scoliosis
Many of these issues can be traced back to the physical trauma caused by birth. The average vaginal birth places up to 90 pounds of pressure on a newborn’s head, with even more pressure in a c-section birth.
This pressure causes long-term physical implications, including cranial issues, spinal adhesions, and injuries to the head, neck, and spinal canal. Parents are often surprised to learn that the health issues their children are experiencing originate from these structural problems. When chiropractic is used to correct the effects of birth trauma, we can treat childhood health issues without prescription medication.
When you bring your child to Palmercare Chiropractic, we’ll start with an evaluation of the spine to assess its alignment. Next, we use our hands or a small tool to make light, gentle adjustments to restore normal alignment and unblock nerve flow. With a healthier nervous system, your child’s body will start to heal from birth trauma naturally.
