As the school year gets underway, let’s start the school off right by focusing on your child’s health and wellness. At The Crossing, we offer Primary Care, Lab Services, Diagnostic Testing, X-Ray, Chiropractic Care, Pharmacy Services, Specialty Care, Pediatric Care, Counseling, and Prayer—all under one roof in our God-founded, multifaceted Christian medical center.
Schedule a Well-Child Exam
Let’s start the school year off right by scheduling a well-child visit in our Restoration Clinic. During this appointment we will
Review growth milestones and address any concerns
Administer immunizations required for school entry
Perform a physical exam to ensure your child is cleared for sports and activities
Discuss nutrition, sleep routines, and allergy management
Stay Up to Date on Vaccines and Screenings
State regulations require proof of certain vaccines before school attendance. Our Lab Services and Diagnostic Testing teams make immunization visits quick and efficient. We offer MMR, Tdap, Varicella, and annual flu shots. You can also complete vision and hearing screenings with our imaging suite or receive referrals to Specialty Care if needed.
Promote Healthy Habits
Healthy routines lay the foundation for a successful school year. At your Primary Care visit we will help you create a plan for
Balanced breakfasts that combine protein, whole grains, and fruit
Hydration strategies to replace sugary drinks with water
Consistent sleep schedules that support learning and mood
Allergy action plans for seasonal and food sensitivities
You can pick up any prescriptions or over-the-counter essentials immediately from Decatur Drugs, our on-site pharmacy.
Backpack Safety and Spinal Health
Heavy backpacks can strain growing spines. Our Steps of Faith Chiropractic team offers
Posture assessments to identify uneven weight distribution
Guidance on choosing ergonomic backpacks and adjusting straps correctly
Gentle spinal adjustments to relieve discomfort
Simple back-strengthening exercises for home
Counseling and Prayer Support
Back-to-school transitions can bring anxiety or stress. Our Counseling suite provides pediatric counselors and family therapists. If you desire spiritual support, our Prayer suite offers confidential prayer ministry by request. This holistic approach reflects our mission to bring healing and hope under one roof.
