Pediatric Chiropractic in Surrey
The entire family—even your children—can benefit from chiropractic care. A child or baby’s spine is like an adult spine, except it’s still growing. During childbirth and early stages of mobility such as developmental milestones, it is important for children to get checkups and preventative adjustments during their general development, just as an adult would, but with gentler methods.
What to Expect
Through her comprehensive plans, Dr. Pannu and her team of chiropractors can administer care to many areas of the child’s spinal area, including the spine, limbs and the cranium. There are many reasons why parents may choose chiropractic for their children, and they can often include:
Babies undergo incredible physical and neurological changes in the first few years of their lives, so it is a great idea to have a baby checked by a pediatric chiropractor. Babies and older children face stress in their environment, just like adults, and that can bring tension into the body. Thus, by improving and balancing the biomechanics of the spine with gentle chiropractic care, babies and children can have beneficial results within the first few visits.
Gentle Care in a Comfortable Setting
From the day your baby is born, they can be checked for spinal misalignments by our chiropractors. With experience and training in pediatric chiropractic, we can use the gentlest touch to realign their spine and optimize their health. Pediatric examinations are very gentle and a baby does not get adjusted the same way an adult does. A doctor of chiropractic applies only a slight pressure to make an adjustment. There is no cracking or popping that occurs during a baby or young child’s adjustment—our chiropractors use gentle methods and a light touch.
Our integrative wellness team excels at putting children at ease and helping them feel comfortable throughout their appointments. A comprehensive exam including a physical and spine exam is essential to diagnose the child’s/baby’s condition. They explain how chiropractic care will help them and what they will feel through the process. Creating a bond with the children not only makes the appointment flow more easily, but also helps the child’s body better accept the adjustment when they’re relaxed.
