We offer traditional pediatric chiropractic wellness and pediatric neurodevelopment wellness.
-In our chiropractic sessions we will review medical history, perform an assessment followed by an adjustment(30min).
-In our neurodevelopment sessions we focus on the Neurodevelopment of the infant and child ages 0-elementary age. The session includes a collaborative approach with a 1. pediatric chiropractor, 2. a clinical neurodevelopment & movement specialist and 3. a consulting neurodevelopment pediatric physical therapist all in the room together. You’ll hear us talk through our assessments(90min) and evaluations(45min). Care includes a home activities program tailored to your child and a chiropractic adjustment.
The inspiration for this collaboration came from the need to provide infants the best opportunity for neurodevelopmental care, this refers to the relationship of the nervous system (brain), muscular system and skeletal system to all communicate and work in tandem with each other. A hiccup in one system affects the other. In the pediatric population this can look like an overactive primal reflex, an absent primal reflex, a restriction in movement like turning their head side to side or rolling, an abnormal crawl, and much more. Anything that requires coordination of the brain, muscles and bones can be addressed.
