The Haven is a pediatric and prenatal chiropractic clinic in Indian Trail, NC, offering gentle, neurologically-based care for children, including little ones who struggle with uncomfortable, irregular bowel movements.
UNDERSTANDING
Childhood Constipation
Hard or infrequent stools, a child who holds it, tummy aches, tears at the toilet. Constipation is incredibly common in little ones, and it can become a stressful cycle for the whole family. It's worth helping your child feel more comfortable. Potty training, diet changes, new routines, a little dehydration, and holding it can all slow things down. The nerves that travel from the lower spine help coordinate digestion, so tension in that area can play a part too.
Signs you might notice
accidents after being potty-trained
straining or pain when going
hard or infrequent stools
tummy aches or bloating
holding behaviors
less appetite
Can chiropractic help?
The lower back and pelvis are home to the nerves that help run digestion. When that area is tight, the signals that keep things moving can get muddled. We use gentle, specific care, along with light belly work when it's welcome, to ease tension and support the nervous system, so your child's body can move things along more comfortably. Many parents tell us their child seems more comfortable and regular. Everything we do here is about supporting your child's nervous system and the way their whole body works together, so they have the best chance to feel and function at their best, a gentle complement to the care you already trust.

What the research says
“We love The Haven! I found them when I was pregnant with my third and was happy to find someone that specializes in prenatal and and infants. I started going just myself for prenatal care and then brought my daughter (5 at the time) for adjustment when she had constipation issues. Hayley was amazing and when I had my newest daughter (with a beautiful smooth birth) she joined the crew for family adjustments. Hayley was so great with infants, toddlers and adults, not everyone can be gentle, yet effective, and a personality to match! We have been going almost every week for 2.5yrs now :)”
