Chiropractic For Children

Having only seen a chiropractor once in my life, and not being happy with the treatment, I didn't think I would ever go to one again.

Then I heard about Armstrong Chiropractic. I read several articles that Dr Armstrong posted about the importance of chiropractic care in children and decided that perhaps chiropractic would be good for my active toddler.

Before trying anything new for my son, I prefer to try it first to make sure it is right for him. So I scheduled appointments for both of us. Dr Armstrong was amazing! She took time to do a full exam and ask questions about our health histories. She also took a lot of time to get down at my son's level and played with him before doing his adjustments so that he would trust her. I felt great after my own adjustment and have been back a few times since. If I could, I would go every week.

I highly recommend Armstrong Chiropractic Clinic and Dr Armstrong to anyone in the area looking for chiropractic care (and especially to people I know who don't believe in Chiropractic).

Colic

If you have a colicky baby, and other forms of treatment don't seem to be helping very much please contact us. Chiropractic care can help you and your baby.  Chiropractic care is a common cure for colic!

Why chiropractic? As your child is being born, the neck and back vertebrae may go out of alignment due to the stretching and compressing of the body as it emerges into our world. If your delivery included a prolonged pushing stage, forceps or vacuum extraction, or other form of assisted delivery, the chances of a misalignment are much greater.

If the misalignments, called vertebral subluxations, are big enough, the functioning of major systems in the body may be compromised. The digestive system may be affected and ineffective digestion of breast milk and formula will cause major discomfort in your baby, leading to colic episodes.

Many parents are sceptical of taking their tiny, helpless babies to see a chiropractor. The main reason is the perception of the Snap, Crackle and Popping of bones! In actuality, the adjustments that a chiropractor will do on your baby are basically applying gently pressure with the finger to areas on the neck and back. You may see your baby totally relax before your eyes as the misalignments are corrected.

As with selecting any health care provider, you need to ask questions first. In this case, "Have you adjusted other infants?" Dr. Armstrong has adjusted babies in the past and has the experience to help you. Chiropractic care can be very valuable in helping to calm the colic tendencies.
