Pediatric Chiropractic in Briargate
Babies Have Spines Too
Babies have spines too, and those spines can shift out of alignment just like yours. The birth process isn’t always smooth, and babies can experience trauma during delivery. Those early misalignments don’t always correct themselves naturally and can affect how their nervous system develops and functions.
At Hexis Chiropractic, Dr. Harris is passionate about caring for children from the start of life. Many symptoms babies experience, like colic, ear infections, constipation, fussiness at night, or trouble sleeping, can stem from misalignments in the spine, particularly in the upper neck area. When your baby is uncomfortable, it affects the whole family.
Gentle, Safe Care Your Baby Deserves
Dr. Harris understands that bringing your child in for chiropractic care can feel overwhelming. You want to know it’s safe and that your baby is comfortable. Adjustments for infants and children at Hexis Chiropractic are extremely gentle—often just the amount of pressure you’d use to test the ripeness of a tomato. Before adjusting your baby, she’ll show you exactly how much pressure will be used. Your baby will lay on you so they are in their happy place and so they feel safe throughout the visit.
Building Trust With Your Growing Child
As children get older, they may feel nervous about visiting the chiropractor. Dr. Harris meets kids where they are, talks about their interests, and explains everything in simple terms. There are even children’s books in the office about chiropractic and health.
What to Expect at Your Child’s First Visit
You’ll complete intake forms and move into a comfortable consultation room. Dr. Harris will discuss everything with you, involve your child, and perform spinal and postural exams. She’ll share her findings in easy-to-understand language so your family feels educated and empowered.
