Pediatric Chiropractic
Toddlers and Kids
For older children, chiropractic care is just as important, being that 90% of spinal growth occurs in the first 5 years of life! Active children fall or bump their bodies, which although minor, can impact function and regulation of their developing nervous system. Dr. Mikayla makes sure kiddos are having a great time, even being able to adjust them while they are playing on the floor! We have an extremely family friendly office with toys for the kids to play with while the entire family gets to be seen!
Dr. Mikayla at Active Life Chiropractic specializes in pediatric chiropractic care, with extensive training and expertise in working with infants and children.
Newborns and Babies
Birth can be a very traumatic experience for a newborn, which can manifest as misalignments and tension in the cranium, neck, middle or lower back. This tension from birth could potentially impact spinal growth and neurological development. Whether your baby faced a natural birth, C-section, forceps, or suction delivery, Dr. Mikayla can ensure that their nervous system is balanced, their physical milestones are being met, and that they are happy and comfortable. Chiropractic care for babies is very gentle, utilizing no more force than you would apply on your own eyeball.
Common symptoms that can improve with pediatric chiropractic care:
Baby favoring one side or the other during breastfeeding
Torticollis or development of a flat spot on the skull
Colic or fussiness
Trouble with rolling, crawling, walking or other physical milestones
Evaluation of tongue ties and suckling patterns
Bedwetting or sleep disturbances
Scoliosis
Poor immune system function
