Pediatric Chiropractic Care in Boise

Pediatric chiropractic care involves the assessment and treatment of children's musculoskeletal and nervous system issues through non-invasive techniques. Chiropractors use gentle adjustments to correct spinal misalignments and promote overall health. Pediatric chiropractors can help with various conditions such as colic, ear infections, difficulty latching, asthma, bed-wetting, scoliosis, and injuries from falls or sports. Because they are addressing root cause and regulating the nervous system, adjustments also  and can thus can help with ADHD, hyperactivity, and focus.

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 recommend bringing your children in to get adjusted throughout major life events and transitions to foster adaptability in their nervous systems.
