Why do kids need to see a chiropractor?
Children go through all kinds of different stresses starting from birth through childhood development. The process of birth can be stressful for a baby even in the most natural deliveries. We find that children that get their nervous system checked sooner in life experience less colds, fewer illnesses and less health complications in general. When their body is functioning at its best, they are able to grow and develop to their optimal potential!
Are you trained in pediatric care?
Dr. Monica focused on pediatric and prenatal chiropractic at the beginning of her clinical studies. Her internships were with some of the best pediatric chiropractors in the Twin Cities area and she spent thousands of hours studying pediatric and prenatal care specifically.
What does a chiropractic adjustment look like for kids?
At Revival, Dr. Monica uses a very gentle, low force technique on people of all ages. With infants and children, the pressure she uses for an adjustment is about the same as what you would use to test the ripeness of a tomato. The spine of a child is much smaller and more delicate from that of an adult so our adjustments are tailored specifically to them. Dr. Monica does not do any twisting, cracking or popping so most kids don’t even know they are getting adjusted!
Is it safe for children to have chiropractic care and the neurological scans?
Yes, both chiropractic care and the neurological scans are completely safe. There are incredible testimonials and research about how safe and effective care is, especially for little ones. The neurological scans at Revival can be done on all ages, including newborns! The scans are non-invasive, gentle and very safe for growing kiddos. You are able to see how well their nervous system is functioning, learn how Dr. Monica can help and tailor her care to their specific needs.
When should I bring my kids in?
Dr. Monica suggests kids get their nervous system’s checked as soon as possible. It is much easier to start with healthy kids so our adjustments help them get even healthier rather than waiting until an issue or symptom arises. She sees children at all stages in life, from hours old newborns to kids about to graduate high school.
How often will they need to come in?
Frequency is different for each child since every child has a unique story and experience. dr. Monica make her recommendations based on our consultation, exam and neurological scans. Many parents choose to have their children come in regularly to keep them functioning and feeling their best. In the end, the frequency is completely up to you!
How do I know if chiropractic can help my child?
Dr. Monica believes that every child deserves to at least be checked to see if their nervous system is functioning at its very best. There is no guesswork when it comes to care at Revival. Care recommendations are based on the findings in the consultation, exam and scans.
