How Spinal Rehab Clinic Approaches Chiropractic Care for Children and Pregnant People

When you think about spinal care and reoccurring pain, the first people you think of might not be children and pregnant people. But these two groups can experience the types of stress on their bodies that can cause alignment issues over time.

For example, infants and toddlers might sleep in awkward positions or take tumbles while learning to crawl and walk — ultimately leading to problematic patterns of movement, according to the experts at Spinal Rehab Clinic. Similarly, older children might play contact sports, wear heavy backpacks, or have poor posture while watching television. Meanwhile, children might not realize they are experiencing pain that should be addressed, so they might act grumpy or cry repeatedly instead.

When it comes to pregnancy, the body changes to accommodate the growing baby in ways that put stress on the lower back and pelvis, according to Spinal Rehab Clinic's website. It can aggravate prior spine and joint issues or cause pain that doesn't resolve after childbirth, when holding and feeding the baby can cause additional strain.

For both types of patients, Spinal Rehab Clinic's providers start with a thorough examination to pinpoint the issues and develop a treatment plan, which could involve massage therapy or physical therapy as well as chiropractic care. Often, these treatment methods complement each other in ways that help patients see better results — and Spinal Rehab Clinic offers them all under one roof!
