What is pediatric chiropractic?

Pediatric chiropractic care focuses on the needs of growing children, from the newborn stage to older adolescents. Chiropractic care balances and aligns the spine (part of the central nervous system that controls all bodily functions). 

What does pediatric chiropractic care include?

Pediatric chiropractic care includes regular spinal adjustments, in which Dr. Schauer uses hands-on techniques and special chiropractic instruments to manipulate the spine in specific ways. 

Chiropractic adjustments restore alignment and balance, benefiting both musculoskeletal and nervous system function. Dr. Schauer customizes chiropractic care according to your child’s unique needs. 

Additionally, TruMotion Chiropractic offers complementary non-invasive therapies like massage therapy to help your child feel and be their very best. Chiropractic care can give your child a healthy foundation so they grow and thrive, ultimately becoming a healthy adult. 

What conditions does pediatric chiropractic help with?

Pediatric chiropractic care emphasizes wellness, meaning it helps prevent illnesses and injuries, but it can also help with common issues affecting children, such as:

• Delayed walking
• Irregular walking patterns
• Sports injuries
• Back pain
• Neck pain
• Infant colic
• Earaches
• Asthma
• Bed wetting 
• Poor sleep 
• Behavior 
• Congenital Conditions 

While pediatric chiropractic mainly focuses on the musculoskeletal system, it also addresses nervous system issues and is a crucial part of whole-person wellness for many children today. 

How often should my child have pediatric chiropractic care?

Dr. Schauer recommends a customized treatment plan based on your child’s needs. A number of children have regular visits every few months or even once a month to establish a foundation for wellness. 

By using chiropractic as wellness care, you can help your child avoid illnesses and injuries. Regular chiropractic care can guide your child through a happy, healthy, and active childhood.

Does pediatric chiropractic replace pediatrician visits?

Pediatric chiropractic care is one aspect of your child’s health care. All children should have a pediatrician (medical doctor specializing in children) who can recommend seeing specialists for specific needs or wellness enhancement when needed. 

For example, your child needs an optometrist or ophthalmologist for eye care and a dentist for oral health care. As your child’s chiropractor, Dr. Schauer is an equally important part of their health care team.
