Pediatrics

MJ adjustment

Dr. Dargout has taken advanced training in treating the pediatric population.  Just as childbirth is traumatic for moms, it is just as traumatic for the little ones making their debut.  They contort themselves into a lot of precarious positions both in utero and while making their way into the world.  They may not be able to tell you that they have a problem, but in their own way their little bodies are telling you something may be wrong.  It could be with latching difficulties, colic, chronic ear infections, torticollis, constipation, sleep disturbances, bed-wetting, etc.  As they explore their new world your little bundle of joy will become a creeper, then a crawler, and finally a toddler, with plenty of bumps, bruises, and falls along the way.  This can cause additional stress to their developing nervous and musculoskeletal systems.   If you are concerned about the safety of a chiropractic adjustment for an infant or toddler, it is much different than that of an adult.  The pressure applied would be the equivalent of testing a tomato to check if it is ripe.  Children and adolescents who are adjusted from a young age are not only “well-adjusted” but also have more body awareness (which is especially important for becoming the star ballerinas and athletes we dream them to be) and are sick less often, among other benefits.  Bring your child to the office so we can help your little one grow up as healthy and happy as you dream them to be.
