My twins have been to a Chiro since they were infants. We used Dr. Melissa Shelton in Friso at Shelton Chiropractor. We moved to Dallas and now go Addison Chiropractic and see Dr. Andrea Bologna. My girls LOVE LOVE LOVE her and the entire office. http://www.addchiropractic.com/ and she is AWESOME with kids.

I second Shelton. She is so sweet and helped me with the payments. My son was in a horrible car accident (ejected) and couldn't walk. NOW, you would never know it. She recomended seeing him 3 times a week for a while. Very sweet Christian lady. Her twins go to Prestonwood if I recall correctly?
Good Luck!

Another vote for Dr. Melissa Shelton... (at Preston and Hedgecoxe)
I see her, and so do all 3 of my kids. We are all feeling so much better since we started going to her. It can't hurt; it might help. It's worth a try. She's very gentle, friendly, and she'll tell you honestly if she thinks the issue is something beyond the scope of chiropractic.

I just wanted you to know I have a 1 year old. When he was about 9 months old he had a double ear infection so bad that one of them started oozing.. and that was after being on medication for almost 2 months. We got an appt with an ENT because there just didnt seem like there was anything else we could do. I got on this site and asked other moms what to do and I got a LOT of responses that said chiropractor.. I finally decided to try it because I could not stand to put tubes in his ears.. Let me put it this way.. Chiropractor on Wednesday... Friday was the appt and he said you couldnt even tell anyting was ever wrong.. ( a bit exaggerated but you get the point) They do not twist and pop your 1 yr old like they would an adult.. it was really no big deal at all!! We have taken him back for several other things and let me tell you.. any problem we have gotten fixed by a chiro has never come back. That may not be the case for everyone..but I am now a firm believer!! Hope this helps!! The chrio I went to is Kevin and here is some other information to contact him.. he is WONDERFUL and will work with your hours if you do not live close by: Trinity Family Chiropractic, www.trinityfamilychiropractic.com ###-###-####

My daughter and I have been getting regular chiropractic adjustments since she was born. It is very safe and very helpful. My sister is a Chiropractor in Allen. She treats everyone but her focus is on prenatal and childcare. She is currently out of the office on maternity leave but should be returning to work next month. Here is her info if your interested.
New Directions Chiropractic -###-###-####
I can't think of her address right now but it's located in downtown Allen near the library.
Also may I ask who your Pediatrician is? I have been looking for a new one since ours moved to Austin and would love someone who is comfortable with chiropractic!
Thanks and Good luck!

I would recommend Lifetime Family Wellness Center in Hurst - Dr. Haggerton. He is AWESOME and works with tons of kids. www.family-wellness.com

I use Dr.Madeline Glass ###-###-####. She has a lot of experience with small children as well as adults. I've been to 25 - 30 chiropractors in my life and she is one of the best. She's also very reasonable in her rates. She's not one of those who is in it just for the money and has you come in 3 times a week for 6 months. Please tell her that T. O'Connor referred you. Please feel free to call me T. O'Connor ###-###-####.

Most chiropractors who work on children use an activator, which looks like a plunger-type hammer. It's very gentle, and works great without the bending, twisting, and crunching that I grew up with. I would call around to see who uses one. I have a Dr. in McKinney who uses one (Dr. Erica Mueller, ###-###-####), and another in Allen (Dr. Annise Neidrich, ###-###-####). I have yet to find one in Frisco that I like, but I've heard good things about Dr. Adrian Olivares, ###-###-####. Good luck!

My child is much older, 9, but I have taken him to the chiropractor for allignment issues that were affecting his bladder. we have been pleased. In my brief experience, it seems that while all chiropractors do adjustmnets, some chiropractors seem to specialize in different areas. For example have special neurological training, others nutrition and supplements, others specialize in motor skills. (again, I'm just speaking from my own experience)So, I would say one might be better than another for your child's particular issues. We've used both Dr. Plate of Select Chiropractic in Frisco and Dr. Chalmers of Chalmers Wellness, both in Frisco. Both are great.

A chiropractor for constipation? Have you tried fiber enriched foods and lots of water? Raisins or prunes? I would take him to a dietitian, before I would take him to a chiropractor.

Chiropractors are great and I would recommend Fusion Chiro in Frisco ###-###-####

I would get a second opinion before taking him to a chiropractor. My daughter had constipation for years and it finally turned out she had IBS, Iritable Bowel Syndrome. We changed her diet and it GREATLY improved. My first pediatritian thought her tummey ache was "in her head" and she wanted attention. I changed doctors and they immediately sent me to a pediatric gastro...(sp?) dr.

We took her off all fried foods, caffeine including chocolate, rice, and she can't tolerate milk either.

I would try a diet change before anything.

Hi S.!

Dr. Tandy Williams is the "The Kidz Chiropractor" and is located on N. Dallas Pkwy - close to 121. Her website is www.kidzchiropractor.com

If my children were not grown-up, that would be where I would take them. "Dr. Tandy" is a friend of mine and she really has a heart for children and their wellness. I highly recommend her!

Believing God's BEST for you!

Our family sees Dr. Melissa Shelton in Plano. She is great with kids and does speaking events all over the country, so she is very up to date on issues. We have been seeing her for the last 5 years:)

We take our kids to Dr. Joe Dennis at Dennis Family Wellness Center at the corner of Parker & Alma 972-801-992, he is a dad himself and has always been great with my kids.

His adjustments for adults and kids are very gentle. I trust everything he does on me and my kids.

Good luck!

Mys son 13-months has been to a chiropractor and we love him. He helped me through my pregnacy and has helped him through his short life. His name is Russell Chriopractic in McKinney on Virginia. http://www.russellchiro.com/

Give them a shot they are great. They aare open during the day and am on Sat. I hope this helps.

At one time, my daughter was having some sort of problems and my chiro. said he would go ahead and adjust her and sure enough it helped. It was just that one time and she was a toddler at the time.

S.,

I am so interested to hear the results of this post. Will I be able to see the responses? My grandson is having many issues and I have been wondering if a chiropractor would help. I have been seeing a chiropractor for many years. I love the one that I have now, but he doesn't specialize in children. There are some really bad ones out there, so be sure to thoroughly investigate the one you select. The right one can provide amazing benefits. I had one for several years and trusted her, but later found out that she had been seriously over adjusting me, which was not good. My best to you.

Loving grandmother of a 3 1/2 and 1 year old grandsons.

Don't do it! Your child is A YEAR AND A HALF! Would you want some guy poking around and moving around your baby's backbones, neckbones and who knows what else?????? Once you start with a chiro, you can't stop. DON'T DO THAT TO YOUR PRECIOUS BABY!!!

Try Dr. Darren Hagarty at Bent Tree Chiropractic. He see 4 yr old granddaughter and 11 mo grandson and has seen our family for the last 21/2 yrs he is great. Highly recomend.
I raised 5 children and all of them from birth on saw a chiropractor. They work wonders.

Dr. Jason Venn in Frisco. He is awesome!

Get him off milk. Milk is the most common allergen and can cause ear infections and constipation.
