At Oakbridge Chiropractic, we love children!
How many nights have you been up with a sick baby?
How many courses of antibiotics has your child had already?
Are you resigned to hearing your baby cry?
A nervous system that functions properly is crucial for healthy growth and development.
The birth process can be one of the most traumatic events of our lives. Even 'natural' birthing methods may stress a developing spine. The resulting irritation to the nervous system can be the cause of many newborn health complaints, including:
ALL children should be checked for signs of nervous system irritation! If your child needs to be adjusted, it is a safe, gentle, painless procedure. Children usually hold their adjustments longer than adults who have years of accumulated stress.
We evaluate and adjust babies from the time they come home from the hospital! We do not take x-rays of children until after they turn seven ,because their bones have not fully formed. The Blair Technique is individualized for every child's size, weight, and unique spinal anatomy.
Chiropractic checkups are an excellent follow-up to head support, crawling, and a baby's first steps. If untended, the bumps and falls during this period of rapid growth could set the stage for scoliosis, 'growing pains,' and a weakened immune system response. Even if your child does not have symptoms, we can check for nervous system irritation. Symptoms may take years to develop after a subluxation has interfered with proper nervous system function.
You want the best health for your children! Bring them in today to be checked for nervous system irritation and to be adjusted for their optimal health and development.
Tanya Curren kindergarten teacher, 30, and son, Pierce, – Chiropractic care for children
"I have known Dr. Brown [Hooper] for years and have come to know and love her for more than just being our family's chiropractor. She truly cares about what is going on in our lives and takes the time to sit and listen with you about your needs before working with you. Every time I get an adjustment from Dr. Brown [Hooper] I feel great! I had no doubts about trusting my baby boy with her after I had a long and difficult natural birth. Dr. Brown [Hooper] was extremely gentle and held him in her arms like he was one of her own. She gently adjusted his neck by applying slight pressure with her fingers. It was so quick and painless that my son didn't even cry! We continue to have our child adjusted, as chiropractic adjustments have been directly linked to lower cases of ear infections in small children and keeping them healthier. I trust and love the fabulous Dr. Brown [Hooper] so much that I continue to drive over 400 miles round trip to be under her care. It is so rare to find a doctor today who is truly interested in your well-being, family, and overall health. Dr. Brown [Hooper] goes the extra mile to make each one of her patients feel special and well cared for while providing such a valuable service. One of the special things in her clinic is that after being adjusted, she takes you down for a "little rest". There is a special room that has ocean sounds playing with two beds and she covers you up like a loving mother. She encourages her patients to rest after an atlas adjustment so that the body can have a time to rejuvenate and get used to the great new spinal flow! You leave feeling incredible. I would wholeheartedly and without reservation recommend and encourage every mother to have their child adjusted and experience the joy of chiropractic through the hands of Dr. Susan Brown [Hooper]. She is trustworthy, gentle, and kind and children are drawn to her godly nature. She even has toys in the waiting area and a beautiful fish tank for children to enjoy. I know anyone who will give the Oakbridge Chiropractic a try will love it just as much as I do!"
