Ways our Doctors help kids:
use Cranial work with Children, a technique that is particularly helpful for infants experiencing colic, reflux, cranial distortion, sleep issues and recovering from traumatic births.
treat emergency injuries from falls, bumps, bruises and ow-wies.
work with children throughout childhood and adolescence to foster strong development.
offer parents information on homeopathy and nutritional support for their children.
work to prevent and heal injuries in young athletes. Work with coaches and trainers to develop appropriate rehab and strength building plans.
support and prevent orthodontic intervention with cranial work.
Work with your pediatrician to follow the recommended Helmet Protocol for Plagiocephaly which states that less invasive treatment must be tried for 3 months prior to fitting for a helmet. Helmets can sometimes be avoided altogether through the use of Cranial Chiropractic work for infants.
