"As parents, we ensure that we make the best choices for our children.  That is why my son has been adjusted since birth and why I want the same for your children.  Chiropractic care is essential for optimal neurological and physical development in children."

You Were Born to Be Healthy!

Many factors contribute to your child's overall health.  A major component is the communication between your child's brain and body, a vital link controlling the growth, repair,and function of every cell, tissue, and organ in the body.

Shouldn't your child be checked for any interference in this vital communication?  Contact us today for a complementary consultation with Dr. Keri.

Why Chiropractic for Kids?

Gutmann, a medical doctor and manual medicine practitioner, performed a study of 1,000 infants with birth trauma and revealed that birth trauma often caused upper cervical subluxation and that infants who were adjusted during the study showed improvement with:

Colic

Restlessness

Fever of unkown origin

Seizures

Postural scoliosis

Allergies/Ashtma

Bedwetting

Ear Infections

Tonsilitis

and other childhood illnesses

Dr. Gutmann speculated that abnormal nerve function may lead to lowered immune systems in children (Gutmann G.  Blocked Atlantal nerve syndrome in infants and small children.  ICA Int'l Review Chiro. 1990; July/Aug:37-42).

When Should Your Child be Checked by a Chiropractor?

Right after Birth and 1 week later

It's amazing what a newborn child has to go through to become a part of this world.  If you think about the incredible stress that happens to a baby and a mother during the birth process, it's not surprising to see how they can be subluxated, not to mention when something goes wrong!

When starting to pick up head while on belly

This is the time when the curve in your baby's neck is starting to develop.  Research shows that this curve is vital in providing an open communication between the brain and the rest of the body.

At onset of crawling

This is the time when the commands form the nervous system are becoming more comples and crawling further strenghtens the neck muscles.

When child first learns to stand and walk

This is the time when the curve in the lower back is starting to develop.  The body is also exposed to gravity so the spine has to adapt to become an efficient weight-bearing structure with well developed core muscles.

After vaccinations or illnesses

Chiropractic helps to boost the immune system naturally and allows the body to better adapt to stress from vaccinations and medications.

Anytime there is physical, chemical, or emotional stress

Physical, chemical, and emotional stress causes an interference in the nervous system.  It is important to have your child's nervous system checked to be sure that this interference is not leading to permanent dis-ease.
