Pediatric Constipation
& Digestive Support Care in Kentwood
Why Constipation Matters in Kids
Constipation is more than “hard poop.” When stool becomes difficult to pass, it can lead to pain, avoidance, or dirty diapers that hurt. Over time, it stresses the digestive system and can even affect comfort and behavior.
Symptoms to Watch For
- Straining or crying during bowel movements
- Infrequent stools (days without BM)
- Hard, pellet-like or lumpy stool
- Soiling accidents (especially after an “overflow”)
- Abdominal discomfort or bloating
- Resisting the toilet or showing fear
How Chiropractic Helps Digestion
Your child’s digestive system is regulated by nerves that pass through the spine. Misalignment or tension in spinal joints may interfere with that nerve communication. Through gentle chiropractic adjustments, we aim to restore balance so your child’s brain and gut can communicate more clearly.
We also emphasize important lifestyle factors—hydration, fiber, movement, and diet—to support stool regularity.
