Gentle, Specific Adjustments
Dr. Johnson uses a gentle pressure technique to adjust pediatric patients. For example, for infants, he uses the same amount of pressure you would use to check the ripeness of a tomato. With 16 years of experience behind him, he feels with his hands the way in which the bones must move to return to their proper position.
Our scanning technology detects heat in the spinal column where subluxation is present. With this information, Dr. Johnson is better able to perform precise chiropractic adjustment for kids. We also recommend X-rays for most school-age children.
Benefits of Care
When your child’s spine is stuck or fixated, also known as subluxation, we often see illness as a result. Common symptoms that present in pediatric patients are:
- Allergies
- Tonsillitis/Strep Throat
- Ear Infections
- Colic and Reflux
- Immune System
- Digestive Issues
- Respiratory Issues/Asthma
- Bladder Control/Bed Wetting
- Headaches
More serious symptoms include:
- ADHD
- Other sensory disorders
- Seizures
Dr. Johnson is passionate about helping children live their lives to their fullest potential. You might be surprised what a healthy spine and nervous system can do for your child.
The Earlier, the Better
It is never too early to get your young ones started with care. The sooner their spines are checked, the better. Not only will a healthy spine help them feel better now, but they will be less likely to experience future illness as adults.
