Pediatric Chiropractic Care for Reflux

Helping Your Child Find Relief from Reflux with Chiropractic Care

At Pinnacle Chiropractic, we understand how distressing it can be to see your child suffer from reflux. Gastroesophageal reflux (GER), commonly known as acid reflux, is a condition where stomach contents flow back into the esophagus, causing discomfort and other symptoms. Our specialized pediatric chiropractic care offers a natural, non-invasive approach to help manage and reduce reflux, supporting your child's overall health and well-being.

Understanding Reflux in Children

Reflux occurs when the muscle at the end of the esophagus, called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), does not close properly, allowing stomach contents to rise back up. This can cause symptoms such as frequent spitting up, vomiting, coughing, irritability, and difficulty feeding. While reflux is common in infants and often resolves as they grow older, persistent or severe cases can impact a child's growth and comfort.

How Pediatric Chiropractic Care Can Help

Chiropractic care focuses on ensuring the nervous system functions optimally. Misalignments in the spine, known as subluxations, can interfere with the nervous system's ability to control the muscles and organs involved in digestion. Our gentle, child-friendly chiropractic adjustments aim to correct these misalignments, improving nervous system function and helping to alleviate the symptoms of reflux.

Key Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Reflux

1. Improved Nervous System Function: Chiropractic adjustments help ensure the nervous system is functioning at its best, which can improve the control and coordination of digestive processes.
2. Enhanced Muscle Function: By addressing spinal misalignments, chiropractic care can help improve the function of the muscles involved in digestion, including the lower esophageal sphincter.
3. Reduced Irritability: Regular chiropractic care can help reduce the discomfort and irritability associated with reflux, making your child more comfortable and happier.
4. Natural and Non-Invasive: Chiropractic care offers a gentle, drug-free approach to managing reflux, making it a safe option for children.
5. Holistic Health Support: Regular chiropractic adjustments can support your child's overall health and development, addressing any underlying issues that may contribute to reflux.

Common Symptoms of Reflux Treated with Chiropractic Care

• Frequent Spitting Up: Regular regurgitation of stomach contents.
• Vomiting: Episodes of vomiting that can be frequent and distressing.
• Coughing: Persistent coughing that may be related to acid irritation in the esophagus.
• Irritability: Discomfort and fussiness, especially after feeding.
