Pediatric ChiropracticMost people do not realize that infants and children are just as much in need of chiropractic care as adults. Infants, in particular, are susceptible to a wide range of possible ailments related to slow or traumatic birth and c-sections.
Misalignments or subluxations put pressure on the delicate spinal nerves and interfere with the body’s ability to coordinate and control all phases of growth and development. Chiropractic for infants and children can help correct these potential problems through careful yet effective adjustments to remedy misalignments as they are identified.
Children particularly need pediatric chiropractic care as they age because a lot of the problems we experience as adults actually come from our childhood because of a falls, broke something or simply had poor posture (which is extremely common today). Posture problems particularly result from spending many hours in front of a screen or carrying backpacks all day long at school.
It is best to deal with any potential injury, misalignment, postural problem or other ailment and condition as soon as possible when it is identified, so keep your child’s nervous system as healthy as possible through regular treatment!

I’ve had the pleasure of going to Dr. Jonihakis for over 10 years! I’ve had adjustments, massage therapy (with the awesome Shadia!), and overall great care from Dr. John and his wonderful team. I’ve sent many of my pregnant patients to get help with low back pain, hip discomfort and stress management. Always the best part of my week!
