Essential neuro-developmental changes occur in the first few years of life. How we support children during these years determines their expression of health and well-being.
As one of Connecticut’s leading prenatal and pediatric wellness experts, we are extensively trained on how to take care of the most precious thing in the world to you, your child. Since children need a healthy nervous system to be able to grow and thrive, it is important for them to be checked early in life. Dr. Braglia is trained in pediatric chiropractic care and know how to assess if your child is functioning to their potential.
Many people are apprehensive to take their children to a Chiropractor because they think of the “snap, crackle, pop” that most adults experience when they visit a Doctor of Chiropractic. However, the technique and approach that we have towards children and infants is very different than that of adults. Our technique is very gentle and is performed with a light touch. It is not a manual adjustment comparable to what adults receive when they visit a Chiropractor.
Through a clear and balanced system, children can express their health optimally. Children who have balanced nerve systems experience:
-
Better sleep
-
Easier bowel movements
-
Less ear infections
-
Improvement in behavioral issues
-
More calm (less Colic)
-
Better sleep
-
More connection
-
Reaching milestones
-
Less asthma
-
Diminished allergies
