Pediatric Holistic Care

Find a provider

There are many wonderful kinds of appropriate care for babies and children. The health concerns you have determines the type of practitioner that may be best for your child. This category includes cranial sacral, homeopaths, acupuncture, chiropractic, herbalists and other practitioners who consider their services complimentary to western medicine. The key is to try the least intervention oriented option first.

Most of these practitioners have special certifications for working with children. Be sure and ask about qualifications and experience. Many promote a proactive or preventative approach to health care. Grandma says, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." These approaches to chronic problems are generally less invasive and pose less risk with better results.

See alphabetical listings below. Please contact the practitioner directly to schedule an appointment or if you have any questions. Be sure to let them know BirthLink sent you!
