PEDIATRIC CHIROPRACTIC CARE
If you are looking for an expert in pediatric chiropractic care who will walk you through the process step by step, provide demonstrations of infant and toddler adjustments, and answer any questions you may have prior to proceeding with care…then you are in the right place!
Chiropractic care for infants and children is very different from that of an adult. Treatment generally consists of slow, gentle stretching movements with light fingertip pressure over the specific area of the spine that is problematic. This method is very safe, gentle and effective.
Some of the most common reasons that parents seek chiropractic care for their infants and children include the following:
- Colic/fussiness
- Ear infections
- Reflux (spitting up)
- Torticollis (preferring the head turned in a certain direction) & flat spots on the head
- Sleeping difficulties
- Digestive problems
- Falls/injuries
- Wellness Checkups
Dr. Wagner is one of few providers in the region who holds the full CACCP certification in pediatrics and pregnancy care through the Academy of Chiropractic Family Practice and the Council on Chiropractic Pediatrics. She is an active member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA).

ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is an Eastern Medicine technique that uses very fine needles in specific points of the body that aid in the healing process. Acupuncture is the oldest continuously practiced form of medical care in the world, and it is used by nearly one-third of the world as the primary form of healthcare.
Commonly asked acupuncture questions:
Does it hurt when the needles are inserted?
Most people say that it does not hurt. In fact, many times the patient is unaware that the needle was even inserted! The needles are approximately the size of a strand of hair.
What conditions can be helped with acupuncture?
The list of conditions that may be helped with acupuncture treatment is virtually endless! Some of the most common conditions/symptoms that people seek acupuncture treatment for include the following:
- Acute & chronic pain
- Migraines/headaches
- Digestive disorders (Crohn’s, irritable bowel disease, etc)
- Female disorders (infertility, menopause, endometriosis, PMS, etc)
- Addictions (smoking, alcohol, etc)
- Stress

Is Acupuncture covered by my health insurance?
