We are very excited to welcome Live for Wellness Chiropractic to Macaroni Kid Charleston's Network of family friendly businesses! We asked a few questions so parents could get a better idea of what to expect when you visit Live for Wellness.
What should a mom expect for a first time visit with her child?
Our Doctors at Live for Wellness take priority on getting a full history of the child’s birth and development before starting care. We take posture pictures of children to show any skeletal misalignments. A detailed history is key in diagnosing the patient and giving the best care possible. Range of motion is checked on the children and we often play “Doctor Says” instead of “Simon Says.”
What special techniques or equipment do you use for kids in your office?
For babies, we utilize pillows to cradle them on the table during their adjustment. The best place to adjust a baby is in the arms of their parent. Children love their adjustments and hop right on the table when it’s their turn. We use an Activator tool to assist in hands on adjusting. Children love the Activator and we even have little toy Activators so children can play “Chiropractor” too.
You have a very special relationship with Pattison's Academy, would love to hear more about that.Our relationship began with Pattison’s Academy from helping the children and their families in our clinic. We learned more about their school, which is located near our clinic in West Ashley, through our patients and felt a passion to help them. At Live for Wellness, we donate our services to give back to their school throughout the year. We hold a Block Party for Pattison’s in the Fall with fun activities for children and their families. We are on a mission to impact the health of our community and to give back to those in need. We love helping children with special needs and get to see the natural benefits of chiropractic care in their lives.
What are some of the benefits that families can expect with regular chiropractic care?
At Live for Wellness, we serve generations of families from newborns to great-great grandparents. Through the body’s natural ability to heal itself, we see many wonderful benefits of chiropractic care. Removing stress from the physical body, allows the body to heal and to be better prepared to take on further stressors. Patients see decreased headaches, decreased back pain, improved sleep and improved function with chiropractic care. Pediatric patients are able to sleep better at night, have fewer ear infections and less colic with chiropractic adjustments.
