Pediatric Chiropractic

Just like adults, children need chiropractic care too.

In utero, infants are subject to unfavorable positions depending on the mother’s spine and hip alignment. The birth process itself may lead to birthing injuries and traumas such as pulling on the head and neck as they are delivered vaginally or cesarean, or the intense pressure on the cranial bones during a vacuum or forceps delivery.

These traumas can result in nursing and feeding difficulties, colic and digestive problems, cranial malformations, torticollis (neck spasms where the head can only turn to one side), and other nervous system issues that can impact developmental milestones. 

Pediatric chiropractic adjustments are incredibly gentle and precise – comparable to the light pressure you would use to touch a ripe tomato or your closed eyelid.  Both Dr. Courtney and Dr. Jamie have completed extensive post-doctorate training to master these specialized techniques, ensuring the highest level of care for your little one.

A woman gently holds a baby’s head while the baby lies on a padded table, both indoors. The baby is in a light-colored outfit, and there is a pink blanket under the babys head. The woman is smiling and looking at the baby.
A woman smiles while examining a young boy lying on a red medical table in a clinic room. The boy is laughing, and there are toys, a green rocking chair, and chairs in the background.
A smiling woman gently checks a baby lying face down on another womans chest, both women smiling, in a bright room with medical equipment visible.

Initial Assessment

The therapist and client start with an initial assessment session where they get to know each other. The therapist asks questions to understand the client's presenting concerns, personal history, current life circumstances, and goals for therapy. This helps in establishing a therapeutic alliance and creating a treatment plan tailored to the client's needs.

Establishing Goals

Based on the assessment, the therapist and client collaboratively set specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals for therapy. These goals serve as a roadmap for the therapeutic process and provide direction for the sessions.

Exploration and Insight

In subsequent sessions, the therapist creates a safe and supportive environment for the client to explore their thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and behaviors. Through reflective listening, empathy, and insightful questioning, the therapist helps the client gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their relationships, and their life experiences.

Skill Building

Therapy often involves teaching clients coping skills and strategies to deal with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, communication issues, or other mental health concerns. These skills may include relaxation techniques, assertiveness training, problem-solving skills, mindfulness practices, and boundary-setting exercises.

Building Self Confidence

Therapists help clients cultivate self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-acceptance. Through validation, positive reinforcement, and encouragement, clients learn to challenge negative self-perceptions, build self-esteem, and develop a greater sense of confidence and self-worth.

Monitoring Progress

Throughout the therapy process, the therapist and client regularly review progress towards the established goals. Adjustments to the treatment plan may be made based on the client's evolving needs and progress.
