            - Allergies

            - Colic

            - Headaches

            - Immune System Improvement

            - Joint Injuries

            - Sports Injuries

If you would like to find out more about a specific symptom or whether chiropractic care could benefit your child, please contact our office for a consultation. We’ll work with you to determine whether we can help, and how to get the best care for your child.

Child vs. Adult Adjustments

Children’s bodies and adults’ bodies are very different, so it makes sense that techniques for adjusting them would be as well. For young babies, there is little to no movement involved, just a very gentle placement on strategic vertebrae, using only the baby’s own weight for pressure. As children grow, the technique changes to suit their bone pliability, muscle development and joint mobility.

Is it Safe?

Dr. Hammer has been adjusting children (as young as 2 days old) for over 30 years. Also, being a father and grandfather, he understands how important it is to make parents and children feel comfortable when they receive treatment.

Chiropractic is 100% natural, and simply puts everything right so that the body can heal itself. Our techniques are safe and effective, and we will always help you determine if chiropractic could benefit your child before treatment. Parents will also be shown the treatment before it is used on a child, to be sure that you are comfortable and informed about using chiropractic for your child.
