San Jose Chiropractor – Pediatric Care

Certain spinal problems and related nervous system disorders may begin very early in childhood. Sometimes the first spinal misalignments occur during the birthing process resulting in misaligned vertebrae and spinal curvatures. The experienced team of chiropractors at Mission Chiropractic in San Jose is specially trained in pediatric chiropractic care to provide gentle and safe treatment that is tailored to the specific requirements of each child.

Is Pediatric Chiropractic Care Safe?

Chiropractic techniques that are used to treat babies are carefully adapted and so gentle that some infants actually appear to be comforted by the treatment! Our certified pediatric chiropractor is sensitive and experienced to the special needs of infants and young children and develops a combination of soothing spinal adjustments and craniosacral therapy techniques among a range of available treatment options designed to promote a healthy brain and body connection. Mission Chiropractic pediatric chiropractic care is based on accurate assessments of your child’s precise condition, and includes gentle stimulation to allow natural healing and healthy development of nerves, muscles and bones.

  • Chronic colic and fussy babies

How Does Pediatric Chiropractic Care Work?

Mission Chiropractic pediatric chiropractors address the underlying roots to the conditions manifested in your child’s everyday life. The body’s natural ability to self-heal and regulate is mobilized by qualified chiropractic care that assesses and addresses imbalances in your baby’s neuro-musculoskeletal system. Since the nervous system is where the body controls and coordinates all functions that also include healing and development, ensuring that your young child’s nervous system is functioning properly is the most logical place to start when looking for answers to a range of pediatric disorders.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Kids

Chiropractic care for kids has frequently resulted in significant improvement in young children who cannot always communicate the precise nature of their discomfort other than crying and fussing. Whether your child has an acute or chronic condition, Mission Chiropractic pediatric chiropractors have had success in treating upper respiratory infections, muscle pain, chronic earaches and accident trauma. In addition, spinal adjustments adapted and geared for young infants and children have been shown to be a viable alternative treatment for a range of digestive disorders including colic in infants. The one advantage that children have over adults, with regard to chiropractic care, is their rapid and positive response to treatment since their bodies have accrued very little damage at this stage of life. Pediatric chiropractic care is a powerful tool that parents can use to identify the root cause of their child’s underlying issue and facilitate natural healing without the use of potentially harmful medications. Our San Jose chiropractors are also available to work in conjunction with your child’s other health care providers when necessary.
