Pediatric Chiropractic at Cassista Chiropractic Office
Chiropractic care for children offers your family a solid foundation for wellness. Throughout pregnancy, birth, and childhood, the chiropractic lifestyle offers choices and benefits for your greater health and well-being.
A vast increase in chronic childhood diseases/conditions such as ADD/ADHD, allergies, asthma, food sensitivities, ear infections, colic and so many more is part of the reason parents today visit our practice for alternative health care for their children. The chiropractic care that we provide is an effective and affordable program that addresses children’s health conditions associated with the nervous and musculoskeletal systems. Gentle, noninvasive and drug free, our chiropractic adjustments resolve and prevent a wide range of health problems. Research finds chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy safe and successful in treating children of all ages from birth.
Cassista Chiropractic Office has been successful with all of the conditions listed above as well as acute earaches, upper respiratory infections, muscle pain, neck pain and accident trauma. We’ve successfully cared for babies and all ages with torticollis, also known as wry neck. It is an extremely painful condition defined by an abnormal, asymmetrical head or neck position causing involuntary repetitive muscle contractions resulting in abnormal neck postures usually tilting the neck to one side.
We have had much success with kids with ADD/ADHD. So much so that Dr. Cassista had a case study published in the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research.
The Power of Regular Visits
In addition to maintaining children’s health, regular visits to our office will help instill the value of proactive health care for your kids. They’ll be more likely to monitor and manage their health as they grow up and less likely to be afraid or in denial of any health problems. Encouraging good lifelong health habits is one of chiropractic’s best benefits for your kids. We have many patients who came here as children who now bring in their own kids for checkups.
Acute conditions may result from birth trauma, sports mishaps and accidental injury. Chiropractic care benefits children by correcting the spinal alignment to improve their overall health and reach their fullest potential. When vertebral joints are misaligned during birth or from a blow or fall, muscle tissue and nerves may also be affected. Spinal adjustment frees joints, restores motion and relieves nerve pressure, which may be the cause of additional ailments.

In addition to maintaining children’s health, regular visits to our office will help instill the value of proactive health care in kids. They’ll be more likely to monitor and manage their health as they grow up and less likely to be afraid or in denial of any health problems.

Our nerve system is the master controller of our entire body and children happen to induce stress upon themselves which leads to interference and misalignment. Whether this is falling on the playground, the stress associated with not getting their favorite toy, or even the entire birthing process, almost all children are subluxated and need to participate in chiropractic care. Therefore, if you are reading this information and you are still unsure whether chiropractic can support your child, please call the office at (978) 957-5585 and schedule a consultation so that we can address your concerns and get your child on the path to health and wellness as early as possible.
