We want to help your little one find their ease at Ease Family Chiropractic. Dr. Bernicky will use gentle, hands-on assessment to determine areas of tension, decreased mobility or subluxation and help to release these areas using her expert touch. Chiropractic care helps correct patterns of tension and imbalance in your baby by integrating primitive reflexes, creating a healthy range of motion from their tongue to toes and their nervous system. Chiropractic care is fluid and respectful of your infant or child’s needs. At Ease Family Chiropractic, your little one’s care may be provided while you are holding them, while nursing, they may lay on a specially designed Chiropractic pregnancy and infant pillow, while playing on the floor or in Dr. Bernicky’s arms.
Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Dr. Bernicky will perform a complete physical and neurological assessment of your baby’s nervous system, including primitive reflexes, from head to toe, with a focus on tone (nerve and muscle), an evaluation of their cranial (skull) bones and inside their mouth assessing for tongue function, palate development, and TMJ (jaw joint) function.
At Ease Family Chiropractic, we know that the entire body contributes to overall health and long-term function, so we focus on delivering care from head to toe. Caregivers are also an integral part of the team, helping their child build health with simple home exercises and activities you can assist with, ensuring you get the most out of your care.
