The Regent Square Chiropractor to see - Chiropractor Regent Square

A Pediatric Office Visit

For our infants and very young children, we aim to make the visit as comfortable and welcoming as possible. We are very conscious of your child's sensitivity in new places or of new people, and especially possible fear of doctors and allow them the opportunity to warm to us before we "do" anything. 

Many of the observation/posture analysis can be performed while a parent holds the baby. Parts of the exam and certain adjustments can also be done while in a parents lap or laying on a parents' chest. We do our best to get down to their level, so unless a child (toddler) specifically wants to get up on the adjusting table, we generally adjust them on a foam pad at floor level. This usually seems to make them (and you!) feel more secure.

Please keep in mind that infant adjustments are very soothing and gentle and quite unlike adult adjusting techniques.

Dr. Powell Asks some important questions of interest to Regent Square residents - Chiropractor Regent Square Dr. Powell Asks...

Will chiropractic adjustments make my spine too loose?
No. Only the spinal joints that are fixated and "locked up" receive attention. The occasional spinal joint that moves too much is passed over so weakened muscles and ligaments can strengthen and heal.
Why is a "slipped disc" unlikely?
Separating each spinal vertebra is a disc. Its fibrous outer ring holds in a jelly-like material. Because of the way a disc attaches to the spinal bones above and below it, it can't actually "slip." However, a disc can bulge, tear, herniate, thin and collapse. But it can't slip.
