Pediatric care

Children’s bodies go through a great deal of stress as they interact with the world around them.

While it is sometimes easy to overlook, children’s bodies go through a great deal of stress as they grow, develop, and adapt to the world around them. The earliest stresses a child may face are during the birth process. Whether vaginal or cesarean, the force of delivery can cause spinal misalignments. It has been found that 80% of babies are born with subluxations in their neck (also known as KISS syndrome). These subluxations cause stress on the nervous system and prevent the infant’s body from functioning optimally. We often see this develop into symptoms such as torticollis, colic, feeding issues, and more. By addressing any misalignments shortly after birth via pediatric chiropractic care at Northern Peak Chiropractic in Watertown, these conditions can be resolved, leading to a happier, healthier baby. 

Chiropractic care improves the brain and body connection for a child’s optimal development.

Beyond childbirth, pediatric chiropractic care is essential in supporting children through their development. From everyday traumas, such as falls while learning to crawl, walk and run, to common illnesses such as ear infections or chronic colds, our team at Northern Peak Chiropractic can assist. By receiving regular nervous system based chiropractic care, children will experience improved brain and body connection for optimal development without the need for potentially harmful medications or surgeries. Chiropractic care is a safe, gentle, and natural alternative that does not have negative side effects and is effective in addressing the underlying cause of common childhood illnesses. 

We love helping to balance a baby’s spine and nervous system, bringing it back to peace.

The first few years of life are vital for your child’s neurological development. It is imperitive to ensure your child has every opportunity to maximize their nerve function during this critical period of growth and development. Common signs or symptoms that your child could benefit from chiropractic care include:

• colic

• constipation

• digestive issues

• favoring one side while nursing

• inability to turn his/her head

• difficulty settling down

• restless sleep

• difficulties feeding

• not achieving milestones

• reflux

• flat spot on their head

• neurodevelopmental disorders including autism, ADHD or ADD

With gentle and specific adjustments to the spine, the body is better able to shift from a chronic state of stress to a more balanced state, where children are able to rest, digest and heal optimally. Patients may notice improvements in decreased behavioral issues, fewer illnesses, improved communication, improved digestion and more. 

Let us support you and your child naturally during this critical time in their life.

At Northern Peak Chiropractic, we are passionate about providing families with wellness care to support their growing children. As members of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), Drs. Bethany and Devon have spent numerous post graduate hours honing their skills in pediatric and maternal care. Our entire chiropractic team take great care in providing specific and gentle adjustments to children ranging from birth through all childhood developmental milestones. On your first appointment, we carefully assess each child to create a care plan specific to their individual needs. During adjustments, Drs. Bethany and Devon will utilize the Torque Release Technique (TRT) to provide extremely gentle, precise, and safe adjustments. Using TRT to methodically adjust the spinal cord, we are changing the degree of tension in the central nervous system, which allows the body to heal the way it was intended. With continued chiropractic care, children are better able to adapt to the world around them and experience all life has to offer. 

We would love to partner with you to ensure your child gets the best start to life.
