Pediatric Chiropractic at
Adair Chiropractic
From the moment your baby is born your life changes. During this special time of life, you want nothing more than for your bundle of joy to be healthy. Too often, a baby doesn’t sleep as they should, cries too much or has trouble breastfeeding. If so, it’s a sign that your infant’s body isn’t functioning as it should.
As they grow up, there are trips, falls and sports participation that can take a toll on their well-being. Through each stage of life, Adair Chiropractic is here for your family.

The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association
The ICPA, or International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, focuses on promoting chiropractic as a part of a healthy lifestyle for every family. Through this organization, you can read about research that shows the positive impact of chiropractic care on generations of families.
Not only does chiropractic improve general health—it boosts the overall quality of life and your ability to express your full potential. Chiropractic is of particular importance during pregnancy and childhood, as it gives your children the best chance at great health. To read more about the ICPA, visit their website at icpa4kids.com.
Preparing for Labor
Your labor process can have an effect on your baby’s health. Whether you were in labor for a short period or a long period, how your body responded when pushing and what happens during delivery all matter. Your infant’s head and neck are under pressure even during a normal birth. Forceps, vacuum and other interventions can further affect their bodies.
Though a medical doctor may check out your child and pronounce a clean bill of health, they aren’t trained to recognize misalignments in the spine. We recommend that you have your child checked at our office as quickly as possible after birth.
Growing Pains Aren't Normal
Many parents bring their kids to us because of growing pains. If your child is experiencing these pains, it is a signal that something is wrong in their body. It may result from a growth spurt that the muscles can’t keep up with. Their pelvis can be tilted from running, falling or jumping. Flat feet are also a common cause of growing pains. We’ll examine each part of their body to determine the cause of their discomfort and make the needed adjustments.
Children and Athletics
We see many gymnasts, dancers and baseball players at our office. Even at the younger levels of sports, these repetitive activities can take a toll on a small body. We can help them with the negative effects of their favorite activities.
Your child doesn’t need to be in pain or have an injury to see a chiropractor. The benefits include boosted immunity, which means they are less likely to get sick when other kids in school do. Chiropractic care can even prevent injuries from occurring since your child’s body will be in optimum alignment.
