Pediatric Chiropractic
At Lemmata Chiropractic, we’re passionate about helping babies feel better, eat better, and sleep better, so the whole family can enjoy life with their new addition.
Research shows that most newborns experience some form of spinal misalignment due to the birth process, whether through vaginal delivery or a C-section. Our chiropractors are specially trained in pediatric care, identifying these misalignments and providing gentle, tailored adjustments to meet your child’s unique needs.
What we help with
The base of the skull is the most commonly injured area, often becoming jammed or twisted during delivery, which can lead to ear infections. Colicky babies typically experience misalignments in their spine that make it difficult for them to lie flat, causing discomfort and fussiness. Similarly, babies with constipation may have misalignments in specific areas of their spine, along with tightness in their hips.
As toddlers, activities like crawling, walking, running, and jumping can leave them physically tired, and the bumps they experience can lead to misalignments. This continues into childhood as kids start carrying heavy backpacks, sitting for long periods at desks, and engaging in more physical sports.
All of this can impact posture and spinal alignment, disrupting the normal function of the nervous system. Our goal for children of all ages is to address any misalignments or restrictions, ensuring optimal nervous system function and overall well-being.
Our Gentle Approach
Children’s adjustments are tailored to their specific needs, size, and condition. We typically use gentle Activator® adjustments, applying light pressure. If a child is feeling nervous, we take extra time to ease their concerns—allowing them to play with toys or even the Activator tool. We go at their pace to ensure they feel comfortable and confident in the process. After experiencing an adjustment, most kids are excited to return, realizing it’s painless and helps them feel better!
