Norfolk Pediatric Chiropractic Care

At Wards Corner Chiropractic, we believe that just about anyone can benefit from our services, no matter how old or how young. Young children and even infants can grow healthier and stronger with regular, preventative pediatric chiropractic treatment. In fact, there is probably no better time to establish good health and wellness habits, including regular spinal care, than in the first years of life.

Pediatric examinations and adjustments follow the same basic techniques as those for adults, since we always strive to accommodate each patient's individual body type. In the case of child patients, however, adjustments can prove especially important for ensuring wellness. A child's spine, like the rest of the body, grows considerably in the first year, and during this critical time it may be prone to all kinds of small but significant shocks or jars. A baby learning to walk typically falls, and over time these falls can affect the spinal alignment. If you accidentally hold your baby the wrong way, the lack of support could contribute to a spinal issue. Just being born puts enormous stress on an infant's body, and misalignments can easily occur during delivery. If these misalignments go undetected and untreated, they can worse with time and additional growth, possibly leading to bedwetting, colic, ear infections or other childhood ailments.

Family Chiropractor Promotes Healthy Bodies and Spines

We always perform gentle but effective care for babies and children. Infants adjustments are commonly done while the baby lays on its mothers or father's stomach.  Dr. Robinson and Dr. Milot gently use their fingers to check their spines for misalignments or subluxations.  Both doctors, have many years' experience treating young patients as well.  Additonally being parents themselves and caring for their own children's spinal care enables them to answer all of your questions.  Our goal is to educate and adjust as many families as possible towards Optimal Health through Natural Chiropractic Care.

We hope that you and your kids will all discover the lifelong benefits of our services, not only as a non-invasive form of natural pain relief but also as a powerful tool for maintaining health and wellness. Please contact us anytime to arrange a consultation.
