Pediatric Chiropractic in New Richmond WI
Taking care of babies and children allows us to help create a healthy nervous system right from the start—which in turn can help them grow and develop optimally and set the foundation for optimal lifelong wellness.
Get Started Early
We recommend having infants adjusted as soon as possible after birth. At that age, their structures are quite malleable and it’s easier to adjust their spine into the proper alignment. Delivery is very difficult on their delicate structures, and studies show that the majority of newborns have subluxations in their neck. By correcting these subluxations early, we help allow their bodily processes to function properly so they can hit their milestones.
Conditions We Help With
When there’s a subluxation, it can cause pressure on the nerves in that area—and that can result in pain or dysfunction in any area of the body that the nerve supplies. So by restoring spinal alignment and eliminating pressure on the nerves, chiropractic care helps the body’s innate healing potential come forth so many common childhood complaints resolve on their own. Some of the conditions we’ve seen great results with include:
- Acid reflux
- Colic
- Constipation
- Ear infections
- Latching problems
- Sleep issues
Safe, Gentle Adjustments
We tailor adjustments to each child’s age, size and condition. For infants, we use the Activator® to deliver very low-force, gentle adjustments, typically while they are lying on Mom’s or Dad’s chest.
For older kids who may be a little nervous to start with, we take our time to make it fun for them. As a father of three himself, Dr. Tanner is great at helping kids feel relaxed. He’ll use either manual (hands-on) adjustments or Activator adjustments, depending on the child’s needs and preferences.
Throughout the exam and adjustment, Dr. Tanner will explain everything he’s doing and answer all of your questions.
