5 Must-Haves for Choosing the Right Chiropractor for Your Child
We know choosing the right care for your child can be overwhelming, which is why we want to break down the top 5 things to look for when choosing a chiropractor for your child. In this blog, we want to dive in and explain to you the five fundamental elements that set us apart from traditional chiropractic offices. This knowledge will not only equip you with the insights needed to make informed decisions regarding your child’s health but also position you as a guiding force for friends and family seeking similar care.
Advanced Training & Continued Education
We understand that education is just one part of being truly knowledgeable, especially when it comes to caring for your child. That's why at Sunlife Chiropractic we are wholeheartedly dedicated to going above and beyond by seeking additional and advanced training to stay up to date on the latest advances in pediatric chiropractic care..
Our chiropractor Dr. Tori Hartline consistently attends training to make sure she is up to date on all the newest techniques to best care for your little ones. She has trained with International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), Barefoot Seminars, Pediatric Experience and Parker Seminars studying under the top pediatric chiropractors in the field.
A skilled Pediatric Chiropractor that you want on your care team is someone who is constantly learning, improving their skills, and striving for better clinical outcomes. At Sunlife Chiropractic we are committed to staying at the forefront of pediatric chiropractic advances, so we can provide your child with the best care possible.
High Level of Clinical Experience
At Sunlife Chiropractic, we also want to assure you that it’s not just about the number of years we’ve been around - it's about the quality of experience we bring to the table. We have gone through rigorous training and specialized programs, focusing on addressing the unique challenges children often face including things like colic, chronic ear infections, latching and head shape. We can also treat the nervous system to handle more complex neurological cases such as Autism, ADHD, Anxiety, Seizures, Sensory Processing Disorder, and more.
At Sunlife Chiropractic, pediatric care is a priority, dedicating a significant percentage of focus to children. This deliberate focus allows us to excel in providing specialized care for your child.
Looking Beyond the Spine with Advanced Neurological Examinations
Is your pediatric chiropractor using INSiGHT scanning technology, or are they relying solely on basic exams like posture and palpitation? What sets Sunlife Chiropractic apart is our utilization of cutting-edge INSiGHT scanning technology. Going beyond standard exams, we delve into the intricate functions of the central and autonomic nervous systems. The NueroThermal, EMG, and HRV scans included in this technology provide quantifiable insights that contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of your child’s health. This approach provides a comprehensive baseline for creating personalized care plans and allows for continuous progress evaluation.
If you’ve experienced a lack of continued progress assessments with other chiropractors, it’s important to consider the incorporation of scanning technology. If your child’s adjustments seem repetitive and identical every time, it’s likely because your chiropractor is not utilizing scanning technology. Your child deserves the best, and we’re dedicated to providing the highest level of care through innovative and effective methods.
Utilizes a Multitude of Adjusting Techniques Unique to Your Child
At Sunlife Chiropractic we understand that every child is unique, and, as parents, you always want the best for your little ones. Our focus is on choosing the right techniques tailored to the specific needs of your child rather than relying on personal preference.
While delving into the details of chiropractic methodology may seem complex, the core concept is simple – each child is unique. In pediatric chiropractic care, factors like birth trauma, exposure to toxins, illnesses, and emotional stress contribute to an individualized case history for every child. We carefully consider these diverse factors. Failing to do so and not customizing the adjusting technique and approach to each child's specific needs may hinder positive clinical outcomes.
Unique Chiropractic Care Plan
When we are caring for your child, how often and for how long tailoring their care plan is crucial. Sunlife Chiropractic’s care plans are backed by science to ensure your child gets the right adjustments at the perfect times, promoting positive, lasting neurological changes. When crafting a care plan we consider things like: neurological stressors on the child, INSiGHT scan results, full case history, age and the ultimate goals for the child’s health.
Unlike some general family chiropractors who offer generic or sporadic care plans, these might not be effective in making neurological improvements in stressed and subluxated children. What really matters is a personalized approach - care plans that are driven by data and shaped by experience.
Sunife Chiropractic follows a singular guiding principle – your child is unique and to provide the best possible care, their chiropractic care plan should be unique to.
