Pediatric Chiropractic in Lee’s Summit
Our kids grow so rapidly, it’s crucial for kids to have proper spine alignment as they’re developing the muscles which will support them throughout the rest of their life.
The patterns of movement they begin immediately after birth continue to follow them throughout childhood and adulthood. If their bodies aren’t aligned properly, and they’re developing around those misalignments while compensating for that lack of movement, that can cause degeneration.
Chiropractic care throughout the early years of a child’s life keeps them on the correct path for not only a healthy childhood, but well into their golden years. It helps avoid that degeneration of joints and muscles that commonly affect adults in their 50s, 60s, 70s and onward.
It also enhances the communication between their nervous system and their brains, just as it does in adults, to help them better cope with stressors from the environment, school, and new challenges they face in childhood.
NEW PATIENTS
What to Expect During Your First Appointment
Prior to your child’s first visit, there will be forms to fill out online. This helps Dr. Woodle and her team to prepare for your child in advance.
During your appointment, the doctor will meet with your family and while the children play, the doctor will discuss the concerns and goals for treatment the parent may have. She’ll discuss what adjustments will look like and ask permission to proceed forward with the exam and treatment for the day,
From there, Dr. Woodle begins her gentle, friendly approach with the child, walking them through the exam process and keeping them entertained. Following the exam, we set a plan of action in place, in complement to their needs and the preferences of the parent.
The Second Appointment
During the second appointment, Dr. Woodle will follow up with the parents and address any questions that may have come to light following the first appointment. She’ll ask parents what they observed, how long the adjustment seemed to last, and what physical and behavioral changes may have been observed.
