Pediatric Chiropractic in St. Cloud
Did you know that childbirth is the first trauma that is common to all of us? Regardless of whether the birth was natural or a C-section birth, the spine can get shifted, misaligned or subluxated due to that trauma. Being cramped inside the womb for nine months can create subluxation.
Kids, too, are subject to having subluxations that affect their nervous system function. Think about an active childhood: through crawling, standing, walking and running, kids put their bodies through significant trauma.
By starting chiropractic care early, your child can avoid many issues further down the road. Dr. Mark and Donna’s two children have been adjusted since birth and have enjoyed the many benefits chiropractic has to offer!
Our Natural Approach
Without a doubt, we’re an overmedicated society that relies on prescription medications and antibiotics. Drugs just treat symptom, but in our office, we try to think of what’s causing that symptom and how we can treat it naturally without drugs or surgery. Chiropractic helps bring the body back to its normal state of balance so it can function optimally.
Here are some of the most common conditions that kids come into the practice with:
- Bed-wetting
- Behavior issues
- Breastfeeding difficulties
- Colic
- Ear infections
- Headaches
- Torticollis
Just as adults often have poor posture from working at their desks for many hours a day, children also have bad posture. In many cases, poor posture is due to spending time on smartphones, tablets and other digital devices. Kids, particularly teens, often have forward head posture due to being glued to their gadgets for extended periods of time. We can provide kids, tweens and teens with tips on how to maintain good posture while still enjoying their devices.
One of our young patients was brought in as he wasn’t able to turn his head after he was born. His head was stuck to the right side before his parents brought him in. The infant’s head also was getting flat on one side. After getting adjusted, the child could turn his head from side to side. The little boy is doing well now! See Ryker’s video ».
