Chiropractic for Children: Common Treatments

Ear Infections

Chronic ear infections, common in infants and toddlers, can often be alleviated through chiropractic treatments. Your Peoria chiropractor will assess your child’s history of ear infections and perform a simple and non-invasive spinal scan and physical evaluation to determine the root cause of the issue. In many cases, a misalignment in the cervical vertebrae (often a result of the birthing process) will be found, interfering with drainage in the ear canals. This misalignment can be remedied through a course of chiropractic adjustments. Pediatric chiropractors are also specially trained to discuss possible dietary causes that may be influencing the frequency of ear infections.

ADHD & ADD

As children grow, ADHD and ADD traits become more noticeable. Pediatric chiropractic care plays a pivotal role in managing and treating attention deficit disorders. Misalignment in the upper neck vertebrae can interfere with nerve functioning in the brain, leading to neurological disorders. This manifests as neurological disorders such as ADHD, ADD, and even depression as they reach the teenage years. By correcting this misalignment through chiropractic adjustments, the interference to the nerve is removed and symptoms will subside or lessen with routine care. Your Peoria chiropractor at Senara will design a customized treatment plan for your child for optimal care outcomes.

Digestive Issues

Digestive health in newborns and children can be a source of frustration for parents and kids alike. Proper elimination can be aided with chiropractic adjustments to the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spine. In some cases, your pediatric chiropractor may also recommend dietary changes and children-friendly supplements to further promote healthy elimination.

Asthma & Allergies

Breathing difficulties are traumatic, and often life-threatening, for allergy and asthma sufferers of all ages. Pediatric chiropractors assess nervous system dysfunction and lifestyle factors contributing to symptoms. Routine chiropractic adjustments, particularly in the thoracic region, alleviate nervous system interference, benefiting day-to-day symptom management. Peoria chiropractors can also suggest lifestyle changes to reduce acute flare-ups.
