Ever wonder how a chiropractor adjusts children and babies?

Babies and children have a smaller body shape & size, therefore needing unique care for their spines and nervous system.  Birth is a difficult process for the baby and commonly they have irritation  in their upper neck.  When adjusting a young infant no more than 4 – 6 ounces of pressure is used to correct the spine.  Babies and children enjoy this type of gentle adjustment and often many sleep throughout their treatment.  Other areas of childhood such as rolling over, sitting, crawling,learning how to stand and walking can also cause irritation to the spine and nervous system which can result in problems in childhood. Dr. Joelle Johnson in this picture is adjusting a 3 year old with an Activator, a gentle low force technique.We are located at Family First Chiropractic and Wellness, in Red Deer, Alberta 403-347-3261
