Chiropractic Care for Pediatric Constipation

How do chiropractors help kids and babies with constipation?

Constipation for kids and babies can be incredibly uncomfortable and is often caused by the culmination of various factors including diet, gut sensitivities, emotional stressors, and body tension. Musculoskeletal imbalances, particularly in the pelvis and sacrum, can also affect the functioning of the digestive system.

Our specialization in pediatrics allows us to gently assess the spine and nervous system to identify any restrictions that might be impacting nerve function. Through safe and gentle adjustments, we help alleviate nerve pressure which enhances nerve communication to the digestive organs.

Depending on the age of your infant or child, we can provide advice on feeding practices or positioning, massage techniques, and exercises specific to aid digestion. We are also fortunate to have a list of other amazing providers in the area we refer to for collaborative and comprehensive care to make sure we address all parts of your child’s well-being.
