Pediatric Chiropractic
Silverdale, Washington
After baby arrives, chiropractic is used to help the body recover and adapt to the new physical environment. The birthing process can often times put a lot of stress and strain on the spinal column, especially if the baby is breech or requires a forceps delivery. Here at West Sound Chiropractic in Silverdale, Washington, most of our moms get baby checked to determine if chiropractic can help with development and challenges like breastfeeding, digestion, comfort, sleep, and immune function. The chiropractic adjustment is modified to suit the age, anatomy, and unique physiology of the young patient.
Consider getting your baby checked by our Silverdale Pediatric Chiropractor if he or she is experiencing:
- ADHD
- Breastfeeding challenges
- Colic
- Constipation
- Delayed development
- Digestion problems
- Recurring sickness
- Reflux
- Sensory processing difficulties
- Sleep difficulties
- Torticollis
How can our Silverdale Pediatric Chiropractor help with colic?
Aside from being stressful, tiring and even heart breaking for parents, infant colic can cause both physical and psychological symptoms in parents and can lead to marital tension, social disruption and child abuse. The causes of infantile colic are still unknown and traditional medical intervention is often ineffective. The traditional medical management for colic involves prescribing drugs such as simethicone drops or proton pump inhibitors. However, systematic reviews have consistently shown that these interventions are no more effective than placebo. Chiropractic care is a safe and effective choice for even the smallest members of society. In one study researchers showed that babies who received chiropractic care cried significantly less than those who did not receive care. Because so many high quality clinical trials have shown chiropractic care helps babies with colic cry less – up to 50% less – it’s well worth giving it a go!
