Pediatric Chiropractic in Woodcliff Lake
Kids have nervous systems, too. To make sure that their nervous system communicates with their body, and they have the best of help, it’s a good idea to have your child checked by a chiropractor. Dr. Wendi will ensure your child has the best chance of proper development and overall abundant health. As a Diplomate in Clinical Chiropractic Pediatrics, she has a wealth of experience and training in seeing children.
Many of the problems that are common in adulthood started during childhood. By getting your kids under care early in life, you can prevent these issues from occurring.
Why Have a Child Get Care?
You don’t want your child to end up with scoliosis, improper posture or growing pains. Nursing problems in infancy and ear infections in toddlerhood are common, too. When your child’s nervous system works at a high level, they may not end up with these problems.
Dr. Wendi’s children have been under care since shortly after they were born. She found that they didn’t get sick as often as their peers, and avoided illness when something was being passed around school. They’ve rarely needed to take any form of medication.
If you want your children to have a healthy adulthood, set up the right habits while they’re young. Chiropractic is a vital part of a wellness lifestyle!
Dr. Wendi will meet with Mom and Dad to have a consultation before their child begins care. Though the process for a pediatric new patient is similar to that of an adult, questions will be asked about the pregnancy, birth and your child’s life up until now. Your child isn’t required to attend this appointment if you think they’d be unable to sit through it.
Then, or at a follow-up if your child isn’t with you, Dr. Wendi will perform an examination on your child. You’ll return for a report of findings, which your child doesn’t need to attend. You’ll learn about the results of their examination and the care plan that’s right for your child.
As your child continues care, Dr. Wendi will perform regular reexaminations to ensure your child is making the progress that is expected.
When it comes to your child’s adjustment, it’s incredibly gentle. For our youngest patients, just a fingertip touch is needed. If there is another little one in the office, they can watch them get adjusted first. Or Dr. Wendi will demonstrate on a stuffed animal or doll so that your child knows what to expect. Your child will never be forced to have an adjustment unless they feel ready.
One of Dr. Wendi’s patients was a mom who was under care while pregnant. She had a challenging birth, and scheduled her child for an appointment a couple months afterward. The mom was distraught because her son couldn’t breastfeed. He wasn’t gaining weight and always seemed to be frowning. Dr. Wendi performed an examination and found a bone in his forehead was sunken in-it was pushing on his face, giving him a permanent frown.
After working on the baby, Dr. Wendi recommended they return the next day. Mom came in smiling and said that for the first time, her son slept well-and was no longer frowning!
