Is Chiropractic Care Safe for Kids?
We field a lot of questions at Somerset Chiropractic from patients and prospective patients alike. One thing that we get asked a lot: Is chiropractic care safe for babies and children? As a pediatric chiropractor and a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, I can resoundingly say that prenatal and pediatric care from a trained professional is safe, effective, and highly beneficial.
Is Chiropractic Care Safe for Your Child?
In order to become a pediatric chiropractor, a practitioner must undergo additional training from an accredited program or university. Both prenatal and pediatric care are delicate and unique from general chiropractic, so a certain level of expertise is expected and required. This means that when you’re entrusting your child’s health to a pediatric chiropractor, you’re getting the expertise of someone who cares deeply about their health as well.
Not only is chiropractic care safe for infants and children, but it can also be extremely beneficial as they continue to grow. Did you know that 95% of newborns have misalignments immediately following birth? Regular adjustments from a pediatric chiropractor ensure that your child has the tools for proper, healthy development in their early years.
Working with a pediatric chiropractor can also help your child overcome several common ailments they encounter during their youth. Chiropractic has been shown to help with issues like colic, ear infections, asthma, and even bedwetting.
Pairing Prenatal and Pediatric Care
Prenatal and pediatric care go hand in hand as well, as the former helps increase the likelihood of a natural childbirth while relieving the pain and discomfort that may come from carrying a child. Regular adjustments can help prevent misalignments of the spine and pelvis, which can cause severe pain and even complicate the pregnancy.
Prenatal and pediatric care both require an understanding of each patient’s needs as well as a certain level of delicacy. That’s something we pride ourselves on at Somerset Hills Chiropractic, and it’s how we’ve helped so many parents and children in and around Bernardsville, NJ, be at their best through the many benefits of chiropractic care.
