Pediatric Chiropractic in St. Cloud
Did you know that childbirth is the first trauma that is common to all of us? Regardless of whether the birth was natural or a C-section, the spine can get shifted, misaligned, or subluxated due to that trauma. Even being cramped inside the womb for nine months can create subluxation.
Children of all ages are subject to having subluxations that affect their nervous system function. Think about an active childhood: through crawling, standing, walking, and running, kids put their bodies through significant physical challenges.
By starting chiropractic care early, your child can avoid many issues further down the road. Dr. Alex‘s two children have been adjusted since birth and have enjoyed the many benefits chiropractic has to offer!
Our Natural Approach
We live in an overmedicated society that relies heavily on prescription medications and antibiotics. Drugs just treat symptoms, but in our office, we try to identify what’s causing those symptoms and treat them naturally without drugs or surgery. Chiropractic helps bring the body back to its normal state of balance so it can function optimally.
Here are some of the most common conditions that bring kids into our practice:
- Bed-wetting
- Behavior issues
- Breastfeeding difficulties
- Colic
- Ear infections
- Headaches
- Torticollis
Just as adults often develop poor posture from working at desks for many hours each day, children also suffer from bad posture. In many cases, poor posture develops due to extended time spent using smartphones, tablets, and other digital devices. Kids, particularly teens, often develop forward head posture from their technology use. We can provide children, tweens, and teens with guidance on maintaining good posture while still enjoying their devices.
One of our young patients was brought in because he wasn’t able to turn his head after birth. His head was stuck to the right side, and it was also becoming flat on one side. After receiving gentle adjustments, the child gained the ability to turn his head freely from side to side. Today, this little boy is thriving! See Ryker’s video ».
