Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Welcome to Blue Mountain Wellness in Fredericksburg, PA! We are proud to offer comprehensive chiropractic care to individuals of all ages, including children. Pediatric chiropractic care is a specialized form of treatment that focuses on the unique needs of children, and can help them maintain optimal health and wellness.
Chiropractic care for children can benefit a wide range of health conditions, including colic, ear infections, asthma, ADHD, and more. Our chiropractors have specialized training and experience working with children, and they use gentle, non-invasive techniques to provide safe and effective treatment.
At Blue Mountain Wellness, we believe that children should have the opportunity to grow and develop to their full potential. Chiropractic care can help children achieve this by optimizing the function of their nervous system, which controls all of the body’s functions. When the nervous system is functioning properly, the body is better able to heal and maintain health.
CHIROPRACTIC CARE AT BLUE MOUNTAIN WELLNESS
During a pediatric chiropractic appointment, our chiropractors will conduct a thorough examination to assess your child’s spine and nervous system. They will also take into account your child’s medical history and any specific concerns you may have. Based on this information, they will develop a personalized treatment plan that is tailored to your child’s unique needs.
Pediatric chiropractic care is gentle and non-invasive, and it does not involve any medications or surgeries. Our chiropractors use a variety of techniques, including gentle adjustments, massage, and stretching, to help restore proper alignment and function to the spine and nervous system.
At Blue Mountain Wellness, we are dedicated to providing compassionate, comprehensive care to children of all ages. If you are interested in learning more about pediatric chiropractic care or scheduling an appointment for your child, please contact us today. We look forward to working with you and your family to achieve optimal health and wellness.

Our Chiropractic Techniques
MANUAL ADJUSTMENTS
The most common chiropractic care is manual adjustments. The art of chiropractic lies in the adjusting. At Fredericksburg Chiropractic we believe in hands on manual manipulation for the majority of our treatment plans. Chiropractic literally means “done by hand” in Latin. Keeping this in mind, we believe it is best to use manual adjusting techniques for our patients. Our patients have excellent results from our hands on adjustments.
E-STIMULATION
In addition to manual adjusting, we also offer e-stimulation, commonly referred to as e-stim. E-stim is administered to patients when they have very spastic muscles. The electrical impulses cause the muscles to repeatedly fire. These repeated muscular contractions in turn fatigue the muscles. When the muscles fatigue, it allows them to relax from their previous state of contraction which often takes pressure off the nerves that are causing the felt pain. The electrical stimulation is typically administered for 10 minutes prior to chiropractic treatments. The relaxed muscles will help the manual manipulation adjustment go smoother.
INTERSEGMENTAL TRACTION
Following a chiropractic adjustment, we may administer intersegmental traction. After the chiropractic adjustment the patient lays on an intersegmental traction table which rolls up and down the axial spine. The rolling action helps induce motion back into the spinal joints as the machine rises on its Y axis while tractioning the spine on its X axis. Patients often describe the intersegmental traction table as a massage table.
SPINAL DECOMPRESSION
Spinal decompression utilizes a gentle traction to stretch the spine, joints, and a wide range of important muscles including the back, hips, and thighs. Patients are gently leaned back into a supine position and the machine does all the work. Many fall asleep while being treated as the gentle vibration helps to further relax the muscles.
LASER THERAPY
High Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) is an amazing tool for many of our chronic patients. For those suffering with inflammation, our class IV laser will accelerate healing time by boosting the production of ATP which is the energy source of a cell, released by the mitochondria. Many patients feel instant relief with the soothing heat generated as a by product of a laser treatment.
