Research suggests that spinal trauma may occur in utero and can arise during normal delivery procedures; spinal dysfunctions that go undetected or neglected in a child may become more serious as an adult, so seeking care early in a child's life is important.

Chiropractic care in Norfolk NE can be beneficial for a number of pediatric conditions including: falls and injuries, asthma, ear infections, bed-wetting, allergies, colic and digestive issues, ADD/ADHD, and scoliosis.

Pregnancy

Chiropractic care is vital in supporting the normal function of both mother and baby during the processes of pregnancy and birth.

Benefits for the mother:

• Prepares the pelvis for an easier pregnancy and birth by creating a state of balance in pelvic bone structures, muscles, and ligaments.
• Removes tension on the ligaments that support the uterus, reducing torsion and intrauterine constraint.
• Reduces interference to the mother's vital nervous system which controls and coordinates all of her systems and functions.
• Promotes a safe, easy birth for the mother, decreasing the potential for intervention.

Benefits for the infant:

• In the early weeks, allows space for the baby to grow without restriction to its developing cranium, spine, and other skeletal structures.
• In the later weeks, offers the baby the room to move into the best possible position for birth.
• Reduces risk of dystocia, surgical birth, and other interventions, because proper fetal positioning allows the baby to travel the birth canal with ease.
