FAQ

Is it safe?

Chiropractic and Craniosacral care is extremely safe for children.  The adjustments performed on small children are different than those performed on adults.  They are gentle and most children respond positively to the process.  

How can craniofacial chiropractic straighten my child's teeth?

Chiropractors are not dentist or orthodontist and cannot correct tooth alignment or bite.  However, the teeth do rest in cranial bones.  Cranial chiropractic adjustments along with orofacial exercise can help encourage your child's cranial bones to develop and grow properly providing the best opportunity for optimal airway and dental development.  

Experience

Dr. Smoron, D.C., has addition training in child spinal and cranial chiropractic care, along with reflex integration therapy.  Additionally she is able to provide orofacial myofunctional assessments (tongue/lip tie) and therapy that is age appropriate.  There is an orthodontist on site to offer orthodontic evaluation and recommendations if needed.  As a result of years of additional education and training, orthodontists are well suited to aid children in early expansion and airway development.  Already have an orthodontist in mind, we will work with your dental team to make your child's treatment as successful as possible.
