Chiropractic Care for Children and Infants in Cardiff By The Sea & Encinitas

Chiropractic care, and as modern medicine develops, we often forget that past generations knew a few things that are still applicable today. For example, doctors in the 1700’s understood that if a child grew up with correct posture that they would likely be more healthy and suffer fewer aliments common to that time.

Today, with video games, competitive sports, heavy backpacks and hours in front of the television, the benefits of correct posture seems to have been forgotten. Children have amazingly resilient bodies but their spines must be protected as much as an adult’s. As a child’s body continues to grow it is important that any spine or back pain issues they have must be corrected as soon as possible so that they can grow into active and healthy adults in Cardiff by the Sea, Encinitas, or wherever they may go.

Pediatric Chiropractics, What is It?

Pediatric chiropractic is the second largest complementary or alternative medicine practice for children. A pediatric chiropractor is a doctor with specialized training as well as advanced training in evaluating, caring and treating the health and wellness of children. Practitioners in this area of chiropractic provide all forms of posture and spinal chiropractic health care for newborns through adolescents, and they must hold specific certification in this area of practice.

This holistic approach to healing and wellness for children is successful in helping a wide range of ailments including asthma, bladder problems, colic, torticollis and many other conditions and health problems. Our techniques can help their rehabilitation process and our on-staff massage therapist can provide pediatric massage if needed. We strongly believe that even if your child is healthy and has no symptoms you should still have their posture and spine checked in order to help them stay healthy.

Many pediatricians understand the significant healing power of chiropractic care and recommend parents bring their children to our clinic. Oftentimes we can heal or correct problems that traditional medicine cannot. Many parents prefer chiropractic care as their primary form of treatment for their children over invasive tests and medications. A chiropractor, combined with the services of a massage therapist and perhaps posture correcting rehabilitation, can radically improve the health or recovery of your child.

If your child has been injured then we can suggest a course of rehabilitation that might include pediatric massages from a massage therapist or sessions with a chiropractor.
