Perinatal and Pediatric Care

One of the most common questions we get at our office is, “Why do kids need adjusting?”. The true answer is quite broad but just remember that many of the chronic conditions we experience later in life began in our youth. From falls when we were toddlers, carrying heavy backpacks in grade school to playing sports as teenagers we have many opportunities to create stress and dysfunction in our spine. And these will stay with us until we adjust the spine properly.

Pediatric chiropractic care involves treating infants and children with musculoskeletal problems, such as colic, torticollis, and ear infections. We use gentle techniques to assess and treat spinal misalignments, which can improve nerve function and promote healing throughout the body. Pediatric chiropractic care can also help children with behavioral and developmental issues.

Pregnancy chiropractic care involves treating pregnant women with musculoskeletal problems, such as back pain and sciatica, that can arise during pregnancy. At Onkels Chiropractic we use techniques that are safe and effective for pregnant women, such as pelvic adjustments (Webster Technique) and soft tissue therapy, to alleviate pain and improve mobility. Pregnancy chiropractic care can also help promote a healthy pregnancy, ease labor and delivery, and aid in postpartum recovery. In fact studies show that the average labor is 25% shorter when getting consistent chiropractic care during pregnancy. Give us a call today-we’d love to help you out!
