Chiropractic for Children

Did you know that chiropractors regularly treat children? At Therapeutic Solutions, LLC we treat patients of all ages, but many do not realize that we treat children. Pediatric chiropractic existed for over 100 years and many childhood ailments will respond to this safe, natural form of health care. But why would a child even need chiropractic care? Children encounter many physical stresses during their growing years. This stress can cause problems in children’s spine and can occur at any point in their development.

 

Not only do children deal with the stresses of a growing body, but some are born with health complications. Many newborn children suffer complications like colic, reflux, breastfeeding difficulties, sleep disturbances and chronic infections. These problems are all associated with the nervous system and are often caused by spinal and cranial misalignments.

 

If you bring your child to Therapeutic Solutions in Newport News, VA, we will start by conducting a thorough history of your child’s health. We will then complete a physical exam, looking for any pediatric spinal problems. Each patient is a different case, especially in children, so Dr. Brill will tailor an individual treatment plan to help your child heal. We offer specific, gentle adjustments and manipulations to the child’s spine and cranium.

Yours in Good Health,

Treat Acid Reflux with Chiropractic

Acid reflux is a condition that occurs when your lower esophageal sphincter, a valve of muscle fibers where your esophagus and stomach meet, does not close properly. When this happens, the contents of your stomach, which includenaturally strong acids and enzymes used to break down food, can leak up into your esophagus and cause a burning pain in your chest, nausea and difficulty swallowing.

While medication can provide short term relief, chiropractic can provide long-lasting treatment. Dr. Christopher Brill uses chiropractic care to improve the overall health and function of his patients’ bodies, and he does this through spinal adjustments that keep all the systems of the body working properly. If there are interferences or misalignments in the spine, the systems of the body cannot function at peak levels, which leads to many different issues, including acid reflux.

In addition to adjustments, we provide patients with guidance on nutrition and lifestyle choices that can eliminate acid reflux and prevent its return. If your acid reflux is caused by a hiatal hernia, where the top part of the stomach pinches through the diaphragm muscle, Dr. Brill can treat that as well without drugs or surgery.
