Pediatric Chiropractic Care

While many may believe that chiropractic adjustments and therapies are solely administered to adults, clinical studies have shown that addressing specific issues rooted in the nervous system of children and infants with adapted chiropractic care offers significant benefits and long-term healing. Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center chiropractors provide safe, gentle and effective treatment plans to heal a variety of pediatric conditions that will also ensure a healthy spine and nervous system well into adulthood.

What Is Pediatric Chiropractic Care?

Used as natural therapy to treat wide a range of conditions since ancient times, chiropractic therapies have evolved to include specialized chiropractic care for children and infants as a drug-free alternative to address many child-related conditions. Certified and experienced Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center practitioners are licensed to provide detailed corrective treatment plans that not only relieve a range of symptoms and childhood disorders, but heal and treat the actual source of the problem.

What Pediatric Conditions Can Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center Chiropractors Treat?

A traumatic birth can cause misalignment of the spine that sets the stage for a range of conditions that may not seem immediately related to the solutions that pediatric chiropractic care can provide. In fact, the source of many childhood illnesses and conditions can be traced to the spine and nervous system. Chiropractic care has been used successfully to treat ear infections, colic and attention deficit with effective treatment for many other conditions that include:

  • Asthma

  • Allergies

  • Bed wetting

  • Colic/gas pains in infants

  • Constipation

  • Frequent sickness

  • Persistent headaches

  • Head tilt

  • Joint pains/growing pains

  • Frequent sickness

  • Poor posture

  • Scoliosis

  • Tantrums and irritability

Certain conditions in children are rooted in imbalanced and irritated spinal joints and nerves that cause problems in behavior and disease or disorder in the body. Sometimes a subluxation in a newborn can be the result of traumatic birth, breech delivery, or even stress. Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center chiropractic doctors provide expert diagnosis and gentle treatment plans designed for the specific needs of each child.

What Happens During a Pediatric Chiropractic Session?

Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center chiropractors have completed accredited training for safe and effective spinal adjustment in infants and children of all ages and work closely with your child’s doctor when necessary. Each session is tailored to the specific symptoms and condition of your child. Spinal adjustments for children are administered using a low pressure method and some infants have been known to fall asleep during treatment! Children and infants typically respond rapidly to chiropractic treatments due to the fact that their bodies have undergone less wear and tear and our caring practitioners ensure that each child is made completely comfortable and at ease prior to treatment. Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center pediatric chiropractors are available to answer any questions you may have and work in tandem with other health professionals whenever necessary.

Did You Know?

Chiropractic Care for children dates back to the turn of the century. The founder of general chiropractic care, D.D Palmer emphasized that checking a child’s spine from birth onwards was essential to avoid a range of conditions, and that chiropractic treatment could alleviate or eliminate the possibility of many imbalances and sicknesses exclusive to children and infants to ensure lifelong health.

Dr. Norgaard’s first exposure to chiropractic was when he was a high school football player at Neuqua Valley in Naperville, Illinois. Nagging injuries led him to Action Chiropractic and Dr. Durnas. He was amazed with the results he got and knew that the treatments provided at Action Chiropractic were the best way to address his ailments.
After high school, Dr. Norgaard left Naperville and attended Central College in Pella, Iowa. While at Central, he majored in biology and played football, further piquing his interest in sports injuries and how to treat them. When he wasn’t in the classroom or on the football field, Dr. Norgaard spent his time volunteering at hospitals, and at various clinics. This is when he really developed a passion for helping people get better.
His experiences as an athlete, chiropractic patient, and volunteer shaped his decision to become a chiropractor.
After graduating from Central, Dr. Norgaard continued his education at Palmer College of Chiropractic.
While at Palmer, Dr. Norgaard took several extracurricular courses focusing on spinal diagnosis and therapy, soft tissue care, and diagnosis and treatment of the extremities. He completed a 4-month internship with Dr. Durnas at Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center and further developed his skills as a physician.
He graduated Magna Cum Laude from Palmer in October of 2021 and received the Academic Excellence Award.
After graduation, Dr. Norgaard joined the team at Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center. He currently resides in the Naperville area with his wife, Shannon, son, Parker, and dog, Alby.
“I chose to become a chiropractor because I was helped by chiropractic. I was in such discomfort it took me over 3 minutes to put on my socks. After seeing a chiropractor, and regaining the ability to tie my shoes, I realized that taking loads of NSAIDs did not address the fact that there was something causing the pain. The more I learned about it, I found that Chiropractic doesn’t just hide symptoms, like I was trying to do with pills, it fixes the origin of the problem.”
Dr. Durnas graduated from the University of Illinois with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Biology and Bachelors of Arts degree in Chemistry. After graduation he worked in research and development for 3 years and dabbled in powerlifting and professional wrestling. That’s what lead him to chiropractic school. While at Palmer College of Chiropractic, he focused on learning how to best help the athlete. He took several extracurricular courses on how to address soft tissue injuries, how to adjust extremities, and how to better manage sports injuries. He graduated in June of 2012, where we were the Palmer Clinical Excellence Award winner and a keynote speaker at commencement.
In 2019, Dr. Durnas earned his Diplomate from the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians (DACBSP)®. He is only the 427th chiropractor in history to earn this designation, and only the 6th recipient in the history of Illinois. He completed over 300 hours of classroom and online courses focusing on in depth on the diagnosis and treatment of sports injuries, concussions, and emergency procedures, and had over 100 on the field hours with athletes that ranged from cross fitters, professional and high school football players, professional BMX and Motocross riders, triathletes, and runners. Dr. Durnas passed a 6-part practical exam and a 250 question Board exam and contributed a case study involving nerve damage in a professional athlete following a hit to the shoulder.
