Pediatric Care

What is holistic pediatric care?

As parents and caretakers, the health and happiness of a child is like music to our souls. You want what’s best and won’t settle for anything less. At OWC, we couldn’t agree more. Our perspective of pediatric care encompasses comprehensive consultations to evaluate each child holistically, state-of-the-art testing and protocols backed by research and results, and natural, safe treatment options that offer comfort and success to both parent and child. As a holistic pediatric center, we understand that the human body was designed to heal itself and believe the body, mind, and spirit contribute to overall wellness.

When it comes to the health and the care of infants and children, there is so much to track and monitor that it can seem overwhelming. Whether you have a child with special needs or requirements, or you have a “perfectly healthy child”, the holistic care at OWC could bring great benefits to the lives of you and your little ones. We believe in raising children to obtain their full God-given potential. We strive to maximize this potential, improve the quality and quantity of their life, and bring health and happiness to the entire family.

What does OWC offer for pediatric care?

As a holistic wellness center, we believe in any treatment options that are safe, effective, and work in congruence with the innate intelligence of the body. Our team has been uniquely assembled to offer parents and children different areas of expertise to achieve your desired goals and outcomes. We typically track and monitor lifestyle habits and history including:

• Neurological development
  
  • are they hitting milestones on time?
    
  • are they growing and progressing optimally?
    
• Sensory integration and processing
  
  • are they struggling with comprehension and learning?
    
  • are all parts of the brain firing and communicating appropriately?
    
• Immunological progression
  
  • are they prone to recurring infections or colds?
    
  • are there symptoms or issues with allergies, asthma, ear infections, etc?
    
• Proper diet and nutrient intake
  
  • is their diet hindering or enhancing growth and development?
    
  • is there a need to avoid, eliminate, add or change their current routine?
    
  • what are the best vitamins and supplements your child?
    
• Digestive and bowel functions
  
  • are there any signs of digestive dysfunction?

  • how is the environment and surroundings?

While the height and weight are important markers to a child’s growth, the development of the nervous system, digestive tract, elimination and detoxification pathways, and immune system are even more important and often overlooked or not monitored appropriately. This is our area of expertise! Whether your child needs to be periodically monitored for proper growth and maximum health benefits, or you have the need for regular care to manage a current condition or problem, we are here to assist in giving you and your child higher levels of comfort and health in all 3 areas of life – physical, biochemical, and psychological health.

Please note that we are NOT an urgent care or medical facility that offers drugs, surgeries, or emergency interventions. In cases of emergency, please contact your local hospital or urgent care facility for immediate attention.
