Pediatric chiropractic adjustments bear little resemblance to the adjustments most adults associate with chiropractic care. The force used on a child is a fraction of what is applied to an adult spine. For infants and toddlers, the pressure is comparable to what you would use to press on a closed eyelid. For older children, the adjustments are still gentle but may involve more conventional positioning. The child is awake, comfortable, and typically calm throughout the process.
At Beacon Clinic of Chiropractic in Grover Beach, California, Dr. Bronstein's approach to ADHD cases is not a single adjustment and a follow-up call. It is a structured evaluation that identifies whether nervous system interference exists, explains the findings to the parents, and outlines a care plan if correction is warranted. The pediatric diplomate credential Dr. Bronstein holds reflects advanced training specifically in working with children.
