At Integrative Chiropractic and Extremities (ICE) in Kennewick, WA, we believe that chiropractic care benefits anyone with a spine, including infants, toddlers, adolescents, and teenagers. Many parents ask if chiropractic care is safe and effective for children, and the answer is a resounding – yes!

Infants commonly experience conditions such as:

• Reflux
• Infrequent or painful bowel movements
• Torticollis
• Colic
• Inefficient nursing

As infants transition to toddlers, they hit key developmental milestones like sitting up, crawling, standing, and walking. Proper movement pattern are especially crucial during this stage for healthy brain and overall development.

Pediatric chiropractic care during this phase may also help with:

• Proper gait development
• Recovery from falling injuries
• Improved sleep
• Ear infections
• Brain development
• Prevention of structural issues like scoliosis and knock knees

Since children’s spines are continually growing, chiropractic adjustments are modified to provide gentle yet effective corrections for structural dysfunctions. Our chiropractors can offer safe, pediatric-focused care that can make a significant difference in your child’s health.

The close relationship between the spine and nervous system often explains why pediatric chiropractic care positively impacts many aspects of children’s health, laying the foundation for a healthier, happier adulthood.
