Pediatric Chiropractic in Bellingham
Kids have nervous systems, just like adults, and when their nervous system is not functioning as it should, they can experience functional issues that chiropractic may be able to help with. At Atlas Chiropractic, Massage and Wellness Center, we’ve been helping babies and kids feel and function better for over fifteen years.
The great thing about children is that their bodies have not been subjected to the years of stress that adults have, so they respond very quickly to chiropractic care.
NEW PATIENTS
Our Approach
Our examination and adjusting techniques are different for kids than for grown-ups. Our care is very gentle and tailored to both your child’s age/size and their condition. We have helped our patients with a variety of conditions, such as:
- Basic body functions such as eating, pooping and sleeping better
- Colic
- Coordination
- Ear infections
- Recovery after sports or other activities
We take our time to ensure your child is comfortable with us and the process before we move forward with adjustments. They can play with the dog, watch Dr. Andrew adjust their mom and ask any questions. And if they’re not ready, that’s fine. They can come in a few times until they understand that nothing bad is going to happen and they definitely won’t get a shot! Once they’ve been adjusted, kids typically love the feeling and ask their parents to bring them back.
Massage for Kids
Our massage therapist, Raven, offers therapeutic massage for pre-teens and teenagers, often in combination with chiropractic care. Patients seek massage for issues like growing pains, sports injuries or recovery, auto injuries and more.
A Lifetime of Care
We have a patient who we began seeing for colic and ear infections when she was 18 months old. She just got her driver’s license, and she’s still our patient! Growing up with chiropractic, she knows how her body should feel and function, and she lets her mom know when she needs an appointment to get back on track.
