Dr . Saletsky ( right ) and her colleague specialize in treating children and infants at Revolution Chiropractic in Jacksonville , Florida .
During high school , Liron Saletsky , DC , always enjoyed working with children . Alongside her interest in neuroscience , working in chiropractic pediatrics seemed like a perfect fit .
Since graduating with her Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience from Purdue University and her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from National University just last year , Dr . Saletsky is already living her dream focusing on pediatric and perinatal chiropractic at Revolution Chiropractic in Jacksonville , Florida .
“ It ’ s amazing to see how many changes you can make in little ones ,” she said . “ Compared to adults , their brain ’ s ability to change and adapt is much higher , or neuroplastic .”
At Revolution Chiropractic , she treats the entire family , including pregnant women who often bring their newborns for care after birth . However , caring for patients that young is not always a given within the field .
“ People often ask why do I see kiddos so early ? The kid doesn ’ t have back pain . But there ’ s always some sort of stressors in our lives , whether it ’ s trauma , toxins , or emotions , etc .,” she said .
Research continues to support that babies carry stress over from their time in the womb . This could be emotional stress from outside factors like the pandemic , chemical stress or stress from the physical act of delivery .
