Kids & Chiropractic

Chiropractic is kid friendly! In fact, both Dr. Danis and Dr. Traci specialize in pediatrics. They use the most up to date research and treatment to treat your child. In addition, they take a very gentle approach to aligning the spine. Both have worked with kids who were a few hours old and through adolescence.Since chiropractors improve the health of the nervous system by removing irritation stemming from the structural elements of the body, chiropractors can help children with a wide range of conditions like:

Colic/Irritability
Poor sleep
Nursing problems
Reflux/Spitting Up
Constipation
Ear Infections
Asthma
Bed-wetting or Incontinence
Growing Pains
ADD/ADHD
Learning Disabilities

And as your children age and engage in sports, remember that chiropractors are more than “back adjusters.” We are physicians whose scope of practice includes manual therapies (like adjustments and massage), physiotherapies (like e-stim and ultrasound), exercise and postural advice (especially scoliosis!), herbal and nutritional supplements and lifestyle and dietary advice.

When thinking about what multi-vitamin to give your kids, Dr. Danis has a good, whole food source chewable (yummy orange!) multi-vitamin. And during the cold months, she recommends an extra boost of Vitamin C.
