Pediatric Chiropractic Care

Through the application of safe, gentle, and specific Chiropractic techniques, Dr. Jason Ellis helps children of all ages, including newborns, infants, young children, and young adults correct issues in their spine and nervous system. By removing interference and misalignments in children's spines, we are opening the door for optimal health and happiness as they continue to grow!

Every Chiropractic treatment we provide at our office is safe & gentle, but the treatments we provide for young children are exclusively tailored to be gentle and painless. We never practice any techniques that include twisting or cracking. Instead, most adjustments Dr. Ellis makes to children involve light fingertip pressure, either by holding the child or laying them gently on a table. For more specific adjustments, Dr. Ellis uses a state-of-the-art mechanism called an "Activator," a handheld device that delivers extremely gentle and specific thrusts to areas of the back, neck, and head. Most children we treat barely even notice what is being done to them!

The youngest of our patients include newborn babies and infants within 12 months of age. During this age, a child is not only dealing with spinal conditions from being cramped inside a womb for nine months but also stress during their early stages of life. During their time in utero, their bodies are constantly being contorted and twisted, not to mention the enormous amount of stress put on their spine during the birthing process.

Many of the most common health complaints in newborns and infants, including colic, reflux, sleeping disorders, breastfeeding problems, allergies, and infections, can be traced back to disturbances and irritation in the nervous system. This is why establishing a consistent Chiropractic treatment plan at the earliest stages is crucial. Chiropractic care for newborns and infants contributes to the following:

• Improved flexibility
• More consistent sleeping habits
• Stronger immune system (less ear infections & skin problems)
• Prevention of Scoliosis and other degenerative spinal conditions
• Better bowel movements
• Enhanced mechanical and coordination skills
• Better overall health for your growing baby!

As kids grow, they become more and more subjected to stress and trauma from everyday life. These stress factors (physically and emotionally) have negative effects on their health, which is the last thing they need as their bodies and minds are growing. At these stages in life, children are more likely to suffer physical trauma since they are more active than adults. Regular Chiropractic care at our office helps to identify trauma, pinched nerves, and misalignments in the spine and correct them before they evolve into more serious issues for your children down the road.

Dr. Jason Ellis uses safe, gentle, and effective Chiropractic techniques that remove interference and pressure in the nervous system, promoting better flexibility, immune health, and brain development in your child. Specific treatments include:

• X-rays to identify subluxations and misalignments
• Spine and body evaluation
• Spinal corrections using the Activator tool
• Gentle decompression techniques to relieve pressure on the spine
• Regimented stretching and exercises

Dr. Ellis also provides Chiropractic treatments for prenatal and postnatal women to reverse the trauma inflicted by pregnancy and childbirth, and restore their bodies back to peak health.
