CHIROPRACTIC FOR BABIES AND CHILDREN

Pediatric Chiropractic Care  |  Chiropractic for Kids

Chiropractic kids have the best start to life! As children grow and develop they will experience stressors on their bodies. These stressors can come from the many falls and tumbles they experience while learning to crawl, learning to walk, or going through their many growth spurts. Maintaining alignment of the spine during these developmental years allows their body to maintain optimal nervous system health and can help improve behavior, sleep, and immune system function, and many other health concerns.

Overtime these stressors can contribute to ailments such as such as colic, infantile reflux, trouble latching, recurrent ear infections, and bed wetting, amongst many others. We strongly encourage parents to get their children checked so they grow up with healthy spine structure and optimal nervous system function. We love seeing kiddos in the office so we can help them grow happy, healthy lives from the inside-out!

What to Expect at Your Child's Visit

Let’s be honest… going to the doctor’s office as a kiddo can be scary! We aim to gain your child’s trust before we perform any examinations or adjustments. Our team may engage your kiddo in play, ask them silly questions to get them to laugh and feel more comfortable, or show them a toy we have in the office. If they’re really lucky, and like dogs, they’ll get to meet our Office English Bulldog, Arlo, who is our patient engagement technician!

When you come into the office, we will start with a consultation to learn about your concerns for your child’s health and what your goals are in bringing them to a pediatric chiropractor.

Following the consultation, you and your kiddo will head into an examination room where one of our doctors will first connect with your child and earn their trust. We highly prioritize your child having a good experience with us. Vita Chiropractic is a healing experience, and that cannot be built on a foundation of forcing treatment or a bad/stressful first interaction. The initial examination may take 45 minutes to an hour.

Once your child is comfortable, we will examine him or her for spinal health, misalignments in the spine, any areas of nerve interference or subluxation patterns to work on addressing the issues. If you and your child are ready, we’ll adjust them following the exam. The adjustments are very gentle. In fact, we adjust kiddos as young as a few days old!

FAQs

  • Do I need to have a “problem” or an “issue” to get started with care?
    No. Usually a symptom is the last phase of tissue injury - stiffness and mild discomfort or occasional pain that “comes and goes” are some early indicators. As a neurologically based chiropractic office, we focus on proactive health measures and thorough exams so we detect problem areas before symptoms arise.
  • How long will my first appointment be?
    Your first visit will last about 60 minutes.
  • Insurance or No Insurance?
    We are in-network with most major insurance providers. Unsure if chiropractic care is covered by your insurance? Bring in a copy of your ID and insurance card and our team will do a complimentary benefits check for you! No insurance? No problem! We serve many individuals and families that do not have insurance or that have non-traditional health share plans. For any out of network plans or health share plans, our team will supply you with a detailed superbill. No matter if you have insurance, or not, you will always be informed of any cost prior to receiving a service.
  • What is included in my first visit?
    The first visit will give us an opportunity to connect with you, listen to your concerns, and discuss goals for your health. We will conduct a thorough consultation to gather information on your past and current experiences that have contributed to where you are now. You will also receive a thorough palpation and postural examination to help our doctors assess how your spine and nervous system are functioning. If recommended by the doctors, chiropractic postural x-rays will be taken as well.
  • Do you take x-rays?
    Yes. At Vita Chiropractic, we have an on-site digital x-ray suite for your convenience and cost effectiveness. Most practice members, if not pregnant, will receive x-rays as part of our examination process.
  • What happens next?
    Getting scheduled for your initial examination is just the first step towards your road to optimal health. After you submit your appointment request, you will receive a call from our team within 24 hours on business days. Once your appointment date and time are confirmed with a call from our team, you will be instructed to complete new patient forms prior to your visit. Those forms will take approximately 15 minutes to complete and can be found on our website. If at any time a scheduling conflict arises, please give us a call so we can make accommodations to reschedule your first visit.
  • How is treatment structured?
    Each practice member undergoes a thorough health history consultation on their first visit to assess their specific chiropractic needs and health goals. This thorough visit allows our doctors to create a specific care plan for each individual who comes through our doors. Our focus is to help patients reach their health goals and serve their bigger purpose. Our doctors tailor care plans for corrective results, not just temporary change!
