Pediatric chiropractic care involves the application of chiropractic techniques specifically tailored for infants, children, and adolescents. Chiropractors who specialize in pediatric care undergo additional training to understand the unique musculoskeletal development and healthcare needs of children.

Here are some key aspects of pediatric chiropractic care:

  1. Gentle Techniques: Pediatric chiropractors use very gentle and specific techniques suitable for the delicate and developing bodies of children. These techniques are often modified versions of those used for adults, with adjustments that involve very light pressure and minimal force.

  2. Conditions Treated: Pediatric chiropractors may address a range of conditions that affect children's musculoskeletal systems, such as misalignments of the spine or joints, postural issues, and musculoskeletal injuries from sports or accidents. They may also assist with conditions like colic, reflux, and ear infections.

  3. Holistic Approach: Dr. Mike takes a holistic approach, considering not just the specific complaint but also the child's overall health and well-being. They may offer advice on nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle factors that can contribute to musculoskeletal health.

  4. Collaboration with Other Healthcare Providers: Dr. Mike frequently collaborates with pediatricians, orthopedists, physical therapists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive care for his young patients. He may refer patients to other specialists when necessary.

  5. Safety: Pediatric chiropractic care is safe and effective here at Dynamix Chiropractic. Dr. Mike's gentle approach to chiropractic care allows the parent and patient to feel at ease during visits. 

  6. Parental Involvement: Parental involvement is crucial in pediatric chiropractic care. Parents will be educated on techniques they can use at home to support their child's musculoskeletal health and encouraged to participate in decision-making regarding treatment options.

Pediatric chiropractic is one of the techniques Dr. Mike provides here at Dynamix Chiropractic. Dr. Mike himself has been receiving chiropractic care since he was 5 years old! This was a hugely important piece of his life. Just like most 5 year-olds, Dr. Mike was playing hard and needed support for his spine and nervous system throughout that time! He takes great pride in caring for kiddos of all ages in a gentle and effective manor.
