There are a variety of benefits to visiting a chiropractor for all ages, including pediatric care. This holistic treatment includes approaches that are often overlooked and can relieve pain, reduce anxiety and stress, and improve your overall quality of life. This includes children with developmental disorders. We should rename this from a disorder that has a negative stereotype to a sensitivity to the world around them. At Atlantic Chiropractic and Rehabilitation in Chesapeake, Dr. Santjer believes in the patient’s overall health and will create a compassionate, customized program for your child.

How Do Chiropractic Visits Help With Developmental Issues?

The brain is a complex organ that works along with the nervous system. The body sends important signals back to our brain through the spinal cord. If the spine is out of alignment, it will impact the nerves and interrupt the smooth communication line to the brain. These misalignments can be caused during birth, by injuries, and a host of other issues. Everyone is different, and our expert team understands this.

If your child has attention deficit disorder and can’t focus, stay still, and is easily overstimulated or hyperactive, they are overstressed and without helpful coping methods to settle themselves down. They lash out in ways that are inappropriate and misunderstood. They know something isn’t right but don’t know how to control these issues.

Our compassionate care includes spinal adjustments, massage therapy, diet suggestions, coping methods, and exercises to do at home. Many of our young patients will enjoy more focus, do better at school, communicate better, and are much more relaxed in their everyday activities. Your child is important to us, and we are here to help you find the best solution for you and your family.
