Paediatric Chiropractic Care in Northwest Calgary
There’s nothing more important than the well-being of your children. Paediatric care begins when your baby is still growing in the womb, when you start doing all you can to influence their future health. At Beacon Hill Chiropractic and Massage, we’ll continue to guide and support your family by providing paediatric chiropractic from prenatal/newborn stages up through your child’s teenage years.
Newborn Checkups
Have you noticed that your baby seems to be unable to nurse on one side, or can’t turn their head properly? They may cry excessively or have latching difficulties. These are just a few of the signs that we teach parents to look for. It’s your baby letting you know something isn’t quite right, and we recommend you bring them in for a newborn checkup.
We’ll examine their spine and entire musculoskeletal system. If indicated, the gentlest touch is used to adjust a baby or child. Typically, an instrument is used on an extremely light setting or the softest of fingertip pressure is used to adjust your baby or child. We’ll be happy to demonstrate it on your hand first so that you know exactly how gentle the adjustment will be!
Why It’s Important to Start Early
Newborns and babies are going through formative times. Their brain, nervous system, muscles and skeletal system are developing at an incredible rate. Any tissue stress, irritation or abnormal movement pattern can negatively impact a child’s developmental journey.
We want your kids to be at their best so they have balanced, optimal growth and development.
Along with providing your child’s chiropractic care, we’ll teach you proper techniques to hold, lift and carry your baby to protect their developing neuro-musculoskeletal system and minimize any chance of incidental injury.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it ever too soon to begin care?
No. We recommend you bring your baby to us as soon as you’re ready for outings.
What kind of pressure is needed for an adjustment?
Adjustments for kids and babies are very gentle. We use our instrument on the lowest setting, which is all that’s needed to stimulate nerves and improve spinal function. The intention is to make sure your child’s body can heal itself.
Can chiropractic help with common childhood ailments?
We are often asked if chiropractic can help with common childhood challenges. After a thorough evaluation of your child, if we can find and adjust areas of the spine and nerves to promote proper nerve function, you may see an improvement in various areas of their health. Chiropractic isn’t about treating a specific disease; rather, it supports the best function and health of your child’s body.
