How is pediatric chiropractic different from adult chiropractic?
In adults, chiropractic care is focused on resolving complaints completely. But in pediatric chiropractic, the patients’ bodies are still growing and changing. Therefore, the goal is to restore nervous and musculoskeletal system function so that the child’s body can learn how to heal itself.
What techniques does Dr. Jacqueline use for pediatric patients?
With her pediatric patients, Dr. Jacqueline uses a combination of spinal adjustments to restore nervous and musculoskeletal system function, massage to relieve pain and discomfort, nutritional advice, and therapeutic exercises to improve strength and movement. We use techniques such as sustained contact, activator, and SOT.
