The Importance of Spinal Checks
After Birth
It’s critical that all children be checked as soon as possible after birth. Even if your child doesn’t have any outward symptoms, there may be underlying conditions that haven’t surfaced yet. Dr. Lisa uses only very slight pressure (about the same used to check a tomato for ripeness) to adjust your baby. Don’t take chances with your baby’s future.
Adjustments Can Be Fun
Our practice is the opposite of clinical. Kids will feel at home here and not like they’re in a typical doctor’s office. We like them to come in and watch their mom or dad get adjusted first, so they become familiar with Dr. Lisa in the office. If that’s not possible, then she’ll bring them back to a kid-friendly exam room complete with toys, a swing, books and a big cozy chair.
Dr. Lisa can adjust your child without them even realizing it. For example, she may have them sit in a swing while she’s doing cranial work. Or they may sit on Mom’s lap or even be asleep during the adjustment.
Dr. Lisa makes adjustments fun. She usually lets kids bring one of their favorite stuffed animals in. Using the clicking toy Activator tool, children can “adjust” their animal first so that they can see exactly what we’re going to do.
At the end of the visit, we offer a reward system. Kids get a sticker and pick an item from the treasure chest.
