Pediatric Chiropractic in Fort Myers
Children’s bodies are constantly developing, making proper nervous system function especially vital during these formative years. Dr. Stokke approaches pediatric chiropractic with a gentle touch specifically designed for their unique needs.
From newborns to teenagers, these special techniques are remarkably different from adult adjustments—so gentle that many babies sleep through their first session. Your child’s comfort and safety are always the primary focus during these non-invasive, kid-friendly treatments.
Why Children Benefit From Chiropractic Care
Your child’s brain and nervous system control everything in their body. Various symptoms can appear when interference disrupts the flow of information between the brain and body. Birth itself can be one of the most physically stressful events in a child’s early life.
A Different Approach for Various Ages and Stages
We adjust children differently based on their age and specific needs. For infants, the pressure used is exceptionally light—comparable to checking the ripeness of a tomato. As children grow, techniques gradually adapt to their changing bodies and needs.
Dr. Stokke has extensive experience with pediatric patients, having adjusted his own daughter just one hour after her birth. This personal connection reinforces his commitment to providing exceptional care for young patients at every developmental stage.
Success Stories That Change Lives
“A child wasn’t walking at a year and a half old. After adjusting their spine, he started to crawl, and within one week, he was crawling and walking,” shares Dr. Stokke about one particularly memorable case.
Unlike adults who often seek care for pain, pediatric chiropractic focuses entirely on function. Many parents report improvements in their children’s sleep patterns, immune system function, and developmental milestones following regular adjustments. Kids typically respond quickly to care since they haven’t developed long-standing patterns that complicate treatment.
