Home » Services » Pediatric Chiropractic Care

Pediatric chiropractic care is a gentle and specialized form of healthcare tailored to children’s unique needs. It focuses on the alignment and function of their developing spine and nervous system. Chiropractors utilize safe, age-appropriate adjustments to address misalignments that can affect overall health. Pediatric chiropractic care offers a compelling reason for parents, as it provides a natural and non-invasive approach to ensure the well-being of children, promoting healthy growth, development, and overall wellness.

Pediatric Chiropractic Care at Mid Atlantic Chiropractic Center

At Mid Atlantic Chiropractic Center, we understand that ensuring the health and well-being of your child is a top priority. Pediatric chiropractic care offers a safe, gentle, and effective approach to supporting your child’s development and addressing common childhood health issues. Our experienced chiropractors specialize in treating infants, children, and adolescents, providing tailored care to promote optimal growth and overall wellness.

Why Choose Pediatric Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic care for children focuses on the relationship between the spine, nervous system, and overall health. The spine protects the central nervous system, which controls and coordinates every function of the body. Even minor misalignments, known as subluxations, can disrupt nerve communication and impact your child’s health. Pediatric chiropractic care aims to correct these misalignments, allowing the body to function properly and enhancing your child’s natural ability to heal.

Common Pediatric Health Issues Addressed

Children can benefit from chiropractic care for various health issues, including:

  • Colic and Digestive Problems: Gentle chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate colic and improve digestive function by restoring proper nerve communication. For more information visit our page on GI issues and chiropractic. Read more.

  • Our Gentle and Effective Approach

At Mid Atlantic Chiropractic Center, we use gentle techniques specifically designed for children. Our approach includes:

  1. Thorough Assessment: We start with a comprehensive evaluation of your child’s health history and current condition. This may include physical examinations, postural assessments, and, if necessary, non-invasive imaging studies to identify any spinal misalignments or areas of concern.
  2. Computerized Scans of the Nervous System: Using advanced INSiGHT technologies, we detect stress patterns and nerve interference affecting your child’s nervous system. These scans provide detailed information about how your child’s nervous system is functioning, pinpointing areas of stress and helping us track progress throughout their care.
  3. Customized Care Plans: Based on the assessment, we develop a personalized care plan tailored to your child’s unique needs. Our goal is to provide gentle adjustments that promote optimal spinal alignment and nervous system function.
  4. Parental Involvement: We believe that parental involvement is crucial in pediatric care. Our chiropractors take the time to explain the treatment process, answer any questions, and provide guidance on how to support your child’s health at home.
  5. Safe and Gentle Techniques: Our chiropractors use specific, gentle techniques suitable for infants and children. These adjustments are safe, comfortable, and designed to meet the unique needs of growing bodies.

Our family has a long term relationship with MAC. Our needs were addressed directly in our first visits and we were given an detailed program to follow.

The Mid Atlantic Clinic of Chiropractic continuously strives to provide its customers with holistic chiropractic wellness. Specializing in a range of different chiropractic techniques, our services can be utilized for various medical conditions. This includes posture correction and chiropractor treatment for migraines, back pain, sciatica, and pediatric chiropractic.

Our services have been carefully designed to incorporate state-of-the-art techniques and newer methods to provide safe and effective results. Taking a personalized approach to each client, we work with a set of “blueprint” techniques that are modified on a case-to-case basis. This strategy ensures patients benefit from tried and tested treatment methods while targeting their unique needs.  Since every condition impacts patients differently, our highly versatile approach provides consistent results across clientele and the severity of symptoms.

Here is a brief description of all the services offered at Mid Atlantic Clinic of Chiropractic:

Chiropractic Care:

This includes advanced spinal corrective treatment to address a range of issues, including leg pain, back pain, and spine misalignment. Our chiropractic care utilizes special manipulative therapy techniques that can help increase the range of motion, promote balance, realign the spine, and reduce inflammation. Chiropractic care can be beneficial for pregnant women suffering from back pain. It can also help athletes and veterans with injury rehabilitation.

Corrective Exercises and Spinal Rehabilitation Program:

Depending on their needs and requirements, clients may be assigned different techniques and exercises for faster recovery. However, corrective exercises and techniques are commonly used for spine rehabilitation and other back-related conditions. With over 30-40% correction rate, these exercises are easy to follow and can be conveniently carried out in the comfort of your home. In addition to spinal rehabilitation, these exercises are designed to help with muscle and connective tissue misalignment.

Cox Flexion Distraction:

Cox Flexion Distraction is a popular manipulative technique effective for chiropractic treatments. This hands-on spinal manipulation technique relieves back, neck and leg pain and severe spinal conditions. The Cox Flexion Distraction technique decompresses the spine through gentle stretching or applying traction to the lower spine. It is a non-surgical treatment that can also restore the range of motion in the joints and muscles, promoting flexibility and better posture.

Lifestyle Advice:

In addition to corrective and manipulative techniques for back relief, our chiropractic clinic also provides lifestyle coaching. Patients are informed and guided on avoiding specific activities that may make their symptoms worse. The service ensures patients can lead happy and fulfilling life without compromising their quality of living.

Nutritional Counseling:

Nutritional counseling services provide individualized dietary plans catering to patients' nutritional needs. This includes everything from a strictly structured diet for optimal recovery to prescription supplements to combat deficiencies.

Spinal & Postural Screenings:

Several reasons may contribute to posture and spinal issues. For effective results, we utilize screenings to reveal the overall functioning of muscles in alignment with the bones. This can help identify root problems and provides an indication of the overall condition of your spine.

Foot Levelers:

In cases where postural problems are caused due to a misaligned spine or pelvis, we also provide custom-made functional orthotics to correct imbalances in the feet. Unlike over-the-counter foot levels, our orthotics are designed to promote whole-body wellness.
