Pediatric Chiropractic in Spartanburg

Does My Baby Need Chiropractic Treatment? 

Whether or not your baby needs chiropractic treatment depends on a great deal of factors. 

Chiropractors who specialize in pediatric care offer gentle adjustments which can address issues such as colic, difficulty breastfeeding, or sleeping problems. 

If you are considering pediatric chiropractic treatment for your baby you should: 

• Consult with Your Pediatrician: Before seeking chiropractic care, discuss your concerns with your pediatrician.
• Choose a Qualified Practitioner: If you decide to pursue chiropractic care, ensure that the practitioner has specific training and experience in pediatric chiropractic. 
• Understand the Risks and Benefits: Be aware of the potential risks and benefits associated with chiropractic care for infants.
• Communication: Maintain open communication between your pediatrician and the pediatric chiropractor. 

What Does Pediatric Chiropractic Treatment Involve? 

Your child’s pediatrician and pediatric chiropractor will evaluate their spinal and cranial function. They will also weigh the child’s system development to always ensure that the suggested treatment will optimize nervous function in a beneficial way. 

A pediatric care chiropractor may use gentle and specifically adapted techniques to make adjustments to the child's spine. These adjustments are usually very different from those used with adults and are designed to be safe for the child's developing skeletal system.

Chiropractors may focus on correcting subluxations, which are misalignments of the spine believed to interfere with the nervous system's function. Pediatric chiropractors often use gentle pressure or low-force techniques.

Benefits of Pediatric Care

A baby or child could benefit from pediatric chiropractic care in the following circumstances:

• Difficulty Breastfeeding: If your baby has challenges latching onto the breast or experiences discomfort during breastfeeding the infant could benefit from pediatric chiropractic care to improve breastfeeding. 
• Sleep Issues: Babies who have difficulty sleeping or exhibit restless sleep patterns. 
• Colic: Chiropractic care may ease colic. 
• Developmental Concerns: If you notice delays or concerns in your baby's developmental milestones then chiropractic care may help optimize nervous system development. 
• Birth Trauma: Babies who experienced a difficult birth, trauma during delivery, or were delivered via forceps or vacuum extraction are sometimes brought to chiropractors for evaluation and potential adjustments.
