Pediatric Chiropractic Care in Boise

Chiropractors detect patterns of interference stored in the body through gentle and non-invasive assessment. These interferences are called subluxations. By correcting these subluxations with the chiropractic adjustment, the nervous system is free to communicate with the body. Thus, chiropractors only correct subluxation, we do not "treat" any conditions. However, when the nervous system is clear of interference, true healing happens, and pediatric chiropractic adjustments coften help with various conditions such as colic, ear infections, difficulty latching, asthma, bed-wetting, scoliosis, and injuries from falls or sports. Because we address root cause and regulate the nervous system, adjustments can help manage symptoms of ADHD, hyperactivity, and focus disorders.

Yes, when performed by a trained and licensed pediatric chiropractor, chiropractic care is gentle, safe, and effective. Techniques are specifically adapted to the child's size, weight, and developmental stage to ensure safety and comfort. It is important to note that pediatric chiropractic techniques look very different than those utilized on adults.

The frequency of visits depends on the child’s specific needs and the parents' goals for care. Initially, more frequent visits might be necessary, but children typically transition to maintenance care more quickly than adults. We do recommend a regular maintenance schedule, as well as bringing your child in to get adjusted throughout major life events and transitions to foster adaptability in their nervous systems.
