Infant Chiropractic

What is Pediatric Chiropractic?

Pediatric chiropractic is a type of chiropractic care specifically for children. Chiropractors are trained to adjust the spine and nervous system to help improve overall health. For kids, this can mean helping with things like colic, ear infections, and even bed-wetting.

How Can a Pediatric Chiropractor Help with Colic?

Colic is often caused by abdominal pain and discomfort. This can be caused by a number of things, including gas, indigestion, and an immature digestive system. A pediatric chiropractor can help by adjusting the baby's spine and relieving any pressure on the nervous system. This can help improve digestive function and reduce abdominal discomfort, leading to less crying and fussiness.

What to Expect at a Pediatric Chiropractic Appointment

If you're considering taking your baby to a pediatric chiropractor for colic, you might be wondering what to expect. In our office we start with a phone consultation to find out more about your infant or child. Then we do a neurological and physical evaluation. The neurological evaluation involves a non-invasive inflammation scan while the physical evaluation includes an adjustment. After we do the evaluation we will bring you back for a report of findings visit to go over the evaluation findings, cover what to expect with our care, and go over recommendations of care.

The actual adjustment is gentle and safe for babies. The chiropractor will use their hands to apply a light, controlled force to the affected area. The whole process usually takes five to ten minutes.

Pediatric Chiropractic and Colic

It's important to find a pediatric chiropractor who is experienced and knowledgeable about treating babies. Look for someone who is a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), as this organization provides training and certification for chiropractors who specialize in pediatric care.

In conclusion, if your baby is suffering from colic, a pediatric chiropractor in Bradenton might be able to help. With a gentle adjustment and an improved nervous system, your baby can experience less discomfort and cry less. If you're interested in trying this alternative approach, be sure to find a qualified and experienced pediatric chiropractor who can help.

They have been the biggest support team for all my pregnancy
I love Pinnacle! Every single staff member has made such a positive impact on my pregnancy. I cannot express how grateful I am for the way they have helped my body and back feel.

Pinnacle's office was open and welcoming—both the environment and the staff. The intake and evaluation process was simple and very well explained.
Our Pinnacle journey started over 3 years ago with our daughter and we've never been more at peace with our decision to get her evaluated at Pinnacle. We brought our 6 week old into the office for an array of struggles/issues after being told to "wait it out" by her doctor. Pinnacle's office was open and welcoming—both the environment and the staff. The intake and evaluation process was simple and very well explained. Pinnacle was able to pinpoint exactly what our daughter needed and develop a care plan to help her reach the wellness goals we set for her as a team. Once she achieved those goals, they continued to give us professional recommendations paired with regular adjustments to support her throughout her growth and development. Now, our entire family is adjusted consistently, including our newest addition since birth. It was the best decision we've ever made for both of our children, and now ourselves.
