Pediatric Chiropractic Care

Is chiropractic care safe for children?

Yes, chiropractors with pediatric training are skilled in identifying the issues most likely to occur in children and to provide the most appropriate treatment to relieve pain and other symptoms while promoting optimal growth and development throughout childhood and adolescence. From infancy through the teenage years, pediatric patients are undergoing a period of rapid growth and development, and being able to identify potential problems early is the best way to keep growth and development on the right track. In addition, chiropractors can help children remain more active by relieving pain and promoting greater range of motion. At Mid Atlantic Chiropractic Center, we use the safest, most effective approaches for pediatric chiropractic care to help every child enjoy the best possible health as they grow.

Can chiropractors identify and treat scoliosis?

Yes, chiropractors are skilled in the management of scoliosis and its symptoms. Routine spinal adjustments, postural corrections and other techniques can help relieve the aches and pain associated with scoliosis and regular office evaluations can be useful in monitoring the spine to check for changes in its curvature so the most appropriate treatment can be provided.

How often should a child see their chiropractor?

A child should visit the chiropractor any time they experience pain or discomfort in their back, arms, legs, neck, shoulders, hands or feet so symptoms don’t interfere with normal physical activity or schoolwork. Routine chiropractic visits can be helpful in identifying many musculoskeletal issues in their early stages so they can be corrected. Plus, chiropractors are also skilled in treating chronic conditions like asthma and allergies and acute illnesses by promoting better nerve signaling and circulation so natural healing processes are optimized and long-term use of medicines and antibiotics can be avoided. The medical needs of each child can vary based on their age, activities and other factors, and a skilled chiropractor can be instrumental in establishing a care routine that addresses each child’s needs as they grow.

Hi, my name is Marcie Dove, and this is my son, Woodrow. And we came to Mid Atlantic Chiropractic because Woodrow has asthma and the pediatrician wanted to continuously put steroids into him, and my husband and I didn’t agree. So, we found Doctor Rashidian, and he has been able to make it so Woodrow has gone through an entire winter and a switch into the spring and has not been sick, not had to go to the emergency room, and has not been on any steroids since we started with Doctor Rashidian. I would highly recommend coming here, and bringing your children, as well. Thank you.

So we started coming to Dr. Rashidian about two years ago. When I was pregnant, he was telling us about bringing the boys in when they were born and he was going to help them sleep at night. We were a little hesitant because they’re very small, and I had only come to the chiropractor when I was 34.

So, as it got closer to the time that I was supposed to go back to work, they were still not sleeping through the night, and we decided to give it a try. We started with Boston, and he immediately slept through the night in the first adjustment, so, of course, we made a quick appointment to have the second one, Benni, come to get adjusted. And now, they’re going to be a year old, they sleep through the night, about 10 to 12 hours, and they’re regular, and they don’t feel sick often, so we feel like the chiropractic care helps. And now we come about once a month, and I try to keep my appointments so that they sleep through the night.

Our family has a long term relationship with MAC. Our needs were addressed directly in our first visits and we were given an detailed program to follow.

The Mid Atlantic Clinic of Chiropractic continuously strives to provide its customers with holistic chiropractic wellness. Specializing in a range of different chiropractic techniques, our services can be utilized for various medical conditions. This includes posture correction and chiropractor treatment for migraines, back pain, sciatica, and pediatric chiropractic.

Our services have been carefully designed to incorporate state-of-the-art techniques and newer methods to provide safe and effective results. Taking a personalized approach to each client, we work with a set of “blueprint” techniques that are modified on a case-to-case basis. This strategy ensures patients benefit from tried and tested treatment methods while targeting their unique needs.  Since every condition impacts patients differently, our highly versatile approach provides consistent results across clientele and the severity of symptoms.

Here is a brief description of all the services offered at Mid Atlantic Clinic of Chiropractic:

Chiropractic Care:

This includes advanced spinal corrective treatment to address a range of issues, including leg pain, back pain, and spine misalignment. Our chiropractic care utilizes special manipulative therapy techniques that can help increase the range of motion, promote balance, realign the spine, and reduce inflammation. Chiropractic care can be beneficial for pregnant women suffering from back pain. It can also help athletes and veterans with injury rehabilitation.

Corrective Exercises and Spinal Rehabilitation Program:

Depending on their needs and requirements, clients may be assigned different techniques and exercises for faster recovery. However, corrective exercises and techniques are commonly used for spine rehabilitation and other back-related conditions. With over 30-40% correction rate, these exercises are easy to follow and can be conveniently carried out in the comfort of your home. In addition to spinal rehabilitation, these exercises are designed to help with muscle and connective tissue misalignment.

Cox Flexion Distraction:

Cox Flexion Distraction is a popular manipulative technique effective for chiropractic treatments. This hands-on spinal manipulation technique relieves back, neck and leg pain and severe spinal conditions. The Cox Flexion Distraction technique decompresses the spine through gentle stretching or applying traction to the lower spine. It is a non-surgical treatment that can also restore the range of motion in the joints and muscles, promoting flexibility and better posture.

Lifestyle Advice:

In addition to corrective and manipulative techniques for back relief, our chiropractic clinic also provides lifestyle coaching. Patients are informed and guided on avoiding specific activities that may make their symptoms worse. The service ensures patients can lead happy and fulfilling life without compromising their quality of living.

Nutritional Counseling:

Nutritional counseling services provide individualized dietary plans catering to patients' nutritional needs. This includes everything from a strictly structured diet for optimal recovery to prescription supplements to combat deficiencies.

Spinal & Postural Screenings:

Several reasons may contribute to posture and spinal issues. For effective results, we utilize screenings to reveal the overall functioning of muscles in alignment with the bones. This can help identify root problems and provides an indication of the overall condition of your spine.

Foot Levelers:

In cases where postural problems are caused due to a misaligned spine or pelvis, we also provide custom-made functional orthotics to correct imbalances in the feet. Unlike over-the-counter foot levels, our orthotics are designed to promote whole-body wellness.
