Pediatrics
Chiropractic for Kids
How is My Posture? - Baby Nate
Children should establish their chiropractic care history early in life. Just as pediatrician does a “well” check-up on your children at key milestones, so do Dr. Goodman & Dr. Schwabe. Important bio-mechanical milestones include:
- Birth
- Sitting Up
- Crawling
- Creeping
- Walking
- Running
How will I know if my child should see a chiropractor?
During the first few years kids should schedule Well visits monthly or as milestones approach. However, if you see any of the following behavior, schedule an appointment sooner:
- Infant who has colic, acid reflux, trouble nursing, head tilt, trouble sleeping
- Baby who is crawling unconventionally – scooting or commando crawling
- Toddler who is increasingly clumsy or falls a lot
- Child who trampolines often
- Suspicion of scoliosis
- Any sporting or casual fall or injury
- Headaches
Chiropractic has also been found to be helpful with conditions such as ADHD, Ear Infections and decreased immune function.
