Pediatric Chiropractic in Tahlequah, OK

Babies may be tiny, but their bodies go through a lot of change in a very short amount of time. From birth to feeding, tummy time, rolling, sitting, crawling, walking, and eventually running everywhere they possibly can, their bodies are constantly growing and adapting.

At Nurture Chiropractic Company, pediatric chiropractic care is gentle, individualized, and designed specifically for babies and growing kids.

Why Do Parents Bring Their Babies to a Chiropractor?
Sometimes parents simply feel like something is off. Maybe baby always wants to look one direction. Maybe they arch frequently, seem tense or uncomfortable in certain positions, or struggle with tummy time. Sometimes parents have been referred after an oral tie release because their baby continues to hold tension.

These are the kinds of things we want to look at.

Parents commonly bring their babies to Nurture when they notice things like:

• A strong head preference or difficulty turning the head both directions

• Flattening on one side of the head

• Arching or noticeable body tension

• Difficulty getting comfortable in certain positions

• Discomfort in the car seat

• Difficulty with tummy time

• Tension before or after an oral tie release

• Concerns about movement or symmetry as baby grows
  
  

Our goal isn't to treat a diagnosis like reflux or colic. Instead, we look at how your baby's body is moving, where they may be holding tension, and whether there are areas we can help move and function more comfortably.

What Does a Baby Adjustment Actually Look Like?
If you're picturing the kind of chiropractic adjustment you've seen an adult receive, you can forget that picture.

Chiropractic care for babies is very gentle. Dr. Jasmine uses age-appropriate techniques and light pressure while carefully assessing how your baby's spine, joints, and body are moving.

And babies get to be babies during their appointments. They can eat. They can cry. They can need a diaper change. They can spit up on us. We promise we've seen it before. 😉

We want parents to feel comfortable asking questions and understanding exactly what we're doing and why.

Chiropractic Care for Growing Kids, Too
Pediatric chiropractic care doesn't end when your baby starts walking.

Toddlers climb. Kids fall. They play sports, tumble, carry backpacks, sit at school, and occasionally attempt things that make their parents wonder what on earth they were thinking.

As kids grow, we continue to provide individualized chiropractic care based on what's going on with their body—whether they're experiencing discomfort, recovering from an injury, or something about their movement just doesn't seem quite right.
