At Gardiner Family Chiropractic Centre, we specialize in helping children be as healthy as possible-the natural way with the healing powers of chiropractic adjustments! WE have taken numerous seminars and continuing education classes on pediatric health and wellness. It is our mission to help as many children as possible experience the multiple life-enhancing benefits of chiropractic care!

The first thing you will notice upon entering our office is what a fun place it is for children to visit! The second thing you will notice is the number of children you see at the clinic for an adjustment. Approximately one our of every three patients is under the age of 16! That makes us the "chiropractors that take care of children" in the Niagara region. We love kids! We emphasize to our adult patients the importance of choosing chiropractic care for the entire family as part of an overall healthy lifestyle choice!

The First Subluxation
The birth process may be one of the most traumatic events in a child's life. Many aspects of the birthing process can cause stress to the developing spine of a baby. The resultant irritation to the baby's nervous system can be the cause of many newborn health complaints such as colic, unexplained crying, nursing problems and breathing problems. All of these conditions can often be traced to nervous system dysfunction caused by vertebral subluxations. We see miracles everyday when babies are adjusted!

Bumps and Falls
As babies explore their worlds, a rapid and dramatic period of physical growth, weight gain and emotional development occurs. As their first steps leave you in 'awe', the many bumps and falls are around the corner! Developmental milestones like head support, sitting up, crawling and walking should all be followed by regular chiropractic check-ups to ensure optimal function of your baby's spine and nervous system. If neglected, these bumps and falls may lead to health problems, growing pains, spinal deformation or scoliosis. ACT NOW! Start chiropractic in childhood to prevent more serious problems that could develop when they are older! Chiropractic care is an important key to better health for your entire family.

Adjusting Babies and Toddlers
Children of all ages respond quickly to chiropractic adjustments. Special and gentle adjusting techniques are used on babies and toddlers. Kids have an intuitive sense and often tell their parents they need and adjustment! Our "Chiro Kids" love being adjusted and the results we see are happier, healthier children.
