If you've been to our clinics before, you might have noticed that we have some kid-specific things all around the clinic - from tiny crocs, and a colouring station, to toys scattered around. Some people assume that those are there to keep the kids busy while mom and/or dad get adjusted. While that might be the case sometimes, it's often because our chiropractors see kids for their adjustments too!

Each Oaktree clinic has a chiropractor that has additional specific training to ensure kiddos get the best care possible. Adjustments for babies and kids looks very different than it does for adults. Due to the different techniques, chiropractic care is both safe and beneficial!

We see babies and kids for lots of reasons: babies might be fussy, gassy, colicky; kids might have hurt themselves playing or have poor posture. Most often though, we see kids for their wellness and optimal development! Our bodies go through lots of different kinds of stressors every day (physical, mental, chemical, and technological), so it's important to have regular checks to ensure our bodies are adapting to those stressors properly. Your nervous system is responsible for everything in your body - so if there is subluxation (misalignment/inflammation) in your spine, your body and brain are no longer communicating properly. That improper communication means that the brain is no longer sending correct information to the rest of the body - not just the muscles and joints, but to the organs as well.

Our goal with adjustments is not just focused on getting people out of pain. We aim to help each and every one of our patients achieve their optimal potential. If you're interested in getting your child seen by one of our chiropractors, contact your clinic to get them started! If you know someone who could benefit from living their life optimally, tell them to contact us and we would be glad to serve them!
