Did you know??
Babies who are “so strong” or “just want to stand!” often are dealing with a lot of tension that makes relaxing, laying on their belly, or being in a flexed/sitting position very uncomfortable. Dr. Abby also commonly sees this pattern in kiddos suffering from reflux, gassiness, and later with persistent bedwetting.
Kids and Chiropractic
Dr. Abby is trained to adapt her adjustments appropriately for all age levels. Adjustments by an experienced pediatric chiropractor are safe and gentle. Many parents report seeing improvements in breastfeeding, bed-wetting, attitude, sleep patterns, and reduction of ear problems such as recurring infections after undergoing chiropractic care. Dr. Abby continues to develop her pediatric skills through courses offered by the ICPA and has additional training in cranio-sacral therapy. When adjusting children, Dr. Abby takes into account the open growth centers that are present at different stages of development, and uses very light force techniques that are appropriate for each child. Dr. Abby will likely also test a variety of primitive reflexes during a pediatric initial exam, in order to get a broader picture of your child’s brain development. If you have further questions, please bring them up during the initial exam, or schedule a consult to chat with Dr. Abby!
