Pediatric Chiropractic at
Community Chiropractic Center

Like adults, kids feel a significant amount of stress on a daily basis. From rough play to the pressure of school to injuries on the soccer field, their little bodies take on a lot. This stress often leads to outward symptoms, such as neck pain, low back pain, and headaches. In addition, chiropractic care has been known to address the following:

While children are similar to adults in the way that they are constantly met with stressors, they are not simply small adults. Dr. Joel has the knowledge and expertise to gently evaluate and adjust your child according to their unique needs. Unlike standard chiropractic adjustments, pediatric chiropractic adjustments are light-pressure and low-force.

Dr. Joel most commonly uses the Diversified Technique and Activator Method® for pediatric adjustments. While Diversified is a manual, hands-on approach to care, Activator Method® relies on a small handheld tool called the Integrator™. This tool allows Dr. Joel to adjust children without the cracking and popping noises traditionally associated with chiropractic care.

Rest assured, our approach to care is gentle and depends entirely on the child.

One of the things we want to know is how the pregnancy went and how was the delivery. If it was a C-section, if they needed to use a vacuum or forceps, that added force to help get the baby out is important to know because there could be issues as a result of the birthing process.

After taking your child’s medical history and performing an evaluation, we also may take X-rays-depending on your child’s age. We will ask you what particular issue you’re looking to resolve.

A Patient Success Story

A woman brought her daughter in for help for the girl’s ear infections. Getting tubes was going to be the next step. As a result of chiropractic care, we were able to stop the ear infections from occurring frequently and the girl was able to avoid surgery.
