Dr. Spark’s mission is to bring awareness and confidence to the city of Anna and surrounding communities about their bodies God-given healing potential. The stressors surrounding everyday life have increased significantly in our society which forces adults and children to either adapt or struggle. We want to make sure that the leaders and future leaders of our communities have every advantage to thrive.
HOW YOUNG SHOULD CHILDREN BE FOR A FIRST VISIT?
Children can benefit from chiropractic care at any age. Some parents bring their newborns for gentle adjustments shortly after birth to address potential issues from the birthing process and prevent any dysfunction from setting up shop in their nervous system. We always say the earlier the better so we can get ahead of any dysfunction before symptoms occur.
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE TO ADJUST A CHILD?
Adjusting a child involves very gentle, specific techniques tailored to their size and developmental stage. It often resembles light pressure or gentle movements on the spine or joints, like the amount of pressure you'd use to check an avocado for ripeness or the pressure you'd put on your eyeballs.
WHAT ARE SOME BENEFITS THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED FOR CHILDREN UNDER CHIROPRACTIC CARE?
Parents have reported improvements in their children's sleep, behavior, immune function, and overall well-being. Chiropractic care aims to support the body's natural ability to heal and function optimally, and when any stress occurs in the baby (usually from birth trauma), we see these symptoms show up early and often in our little ones, which is why we aim to get to the source of these symptoms early, instead of “letting them grow out of it.” or “waiting it out”.
WHAT ABOUT MY CHILD WITH SENSORY/PROCESSING CHALLENGES?
Our office understands the needs of their pediatric patients, especially with Neuro-Developmental and Sensory Processing Disorders. In these cases, we will provide a specific sensory-based assessment for your child. Please let us know before your first visit how we can best accommodate you and your child’s needs such as setting up a phone consultation, splitting appointment times, or blocked off hours for an in-office examination.
