What is pediatric chiropractic care?

Pediatric chiropractic care refers to chiropractic treatments for children and teens. Chiropractic care is a health profession that focuses on therapies that support the body’s natural healing process. Treatment typically involves adjustments of the spine and joints to improve alignment.

Misalignments of the spine and joints affect your body’s function, often disrupting nerve signals to and from the brain. These misalignments may cause a wide range of health issues, from back pain to headaches to fatigue.

Children often complain of health issues that may not have an identifiable cause or improve with over-the-counter (OTC) medication. If your child is struggling with a health issue that isn’t responding to traditional care, they might benefit from pediatric chiropractic care at Texas Joint and Spine.

What happens during pediatric chiropractic care treatment

Before making any treatment recommendations, the team at Texas Functional Health Centers conducts an in-depth evaluation. They want to fully understand your child’s symptoms so they can find and treat the source of their health condition.

The team asks detailed questions about your child’s health history, sleep schedule, eating and exercise habits, and behaviors at home and school. They perform a physical exam, paying close attention to the alignment of your child’s spine and joints.

Once they identify the source of your child’s symptoms, they create a treatment plan that might include chiropractic adjustments, at-home exercise and stretching programs, and advanced nutrition therapy.

The team schedules regular visits for your child so they can perform adjustments to improve spine and joint alignment. They also spend time talking to you, helping you create lifestyle changes that benefit you, your child, and your family.
