Pediatric Chiropractic in Colby
Just like an adult, a baby or child has a spine that can become misaligned and put pressure on their nerves. With our gentle adjustments, your kids can have the best possible health. At Franz Chiropractic, we’re pleased to offer pediatric care for the youngest members of your family.
Why Children Should See a Chiropractor
When a child is born, they can be affected by trauma, and that only increases as they get older. The birthing process can relate in pulling and tugging on the baby’s neck, even more so if a vacuum or forceps is used. As a result, your child might be fussy, colicky or have other issues such as constipation. You may take them on a long car ride and worry about their comfort in the car seat. If you can tell something just isn’t right, we suggest you take them to our office for a check.
From the time a child learns to walk, they’re always on the go. As they start to climb playground equipment, wrestle with their siblings and ride their bikes, there are several forms of stress that can affect their health. We can examine them and determine if they can benefit from chiropractic.
Adjusting a baby or child isn’t like adjusting an adult. Unlike someone fully grown, an infant has a lot of cartilage in their body. All that’s necessary to adjust them is the pressure of a fingertip. There is no thrusting or force involved.
