The Complementary Role of Chiropractic in Pediatric Care

Our goal is to deliver your child the highest level of pediatric care

To that end, we collaborate with pediatricians and medical doctors to ensure your child is getting the exact type of care they need. Our goal is to add another dimension of care to the most important time of life- the development phase. And while pediatricians, dentists, and opticians are looking out for what society deems as the “essentials of development,” who is looking out for your child’s spine? We are! At Hayes Family Chiropractic, we specialize in pediatric chiropractic, something we can say with confidence thanks to hundreds of hours of time we have put in to achieve ICPA certification status.

Chiropractic Applications in Pediatric Care

Understanding the effectiveness of chiropractic for children

Chiropractic offers a golden opportunity for parents who are looking to provide their children with treatment that supports healthy bodily development and management of health conditions without the necessity for drugs. Many studies have found that chiropractic is a safe and effective form of natural medicine that supports the healthy development of the spine as well as treatment for symptoms including colic and chronic ear infections. But pediatric chiropractic is not the same as normal chiropractic- the process for spinal adjustment is completely different. In order to understand why, we have to understand how a child’s body differs from our own.

Chiropractic for Tennis Players in Dunedin

Tennis allows players to maintain a high level of physical fitness and social wellbeing

At Hayes Family Chiropractic, we love tennis because it is a holistic wellness activity that can be enjoyed by families and people of all ages and abilities. While it is considered a low-impact sport, especially in comparison to sports like football, some estimates still say that up to 65% of players will suffer an injury in a given year. The most common tennis-related injuries include:

• Tennis elbow 
• Shoulder tendinitis
• Sprained ankles
• Back sprains 
• Disc-related injuries

At our office in Dunedin, we want to help people keep injury at bay so they can retain a high level of happiness on the court.

Golf is much more physical than it seems, especially when it comes to your spine.

At Hayes Family Chiropractic, we set the mental part of golf aside, and focus on helping you lower your handicap by ensuring that your body is aligned and your muscles balanced. Read on to find out how you can improve your golf game with the help of chiropractic.
