Chiropractic care is an essential part of your child’s overall wellness. Kids that are under chiropractic care start their lives with a healthy start and do not experience the common childhood symptoms. The nervous system controls everything in the body, including growth and development. Interference within the spine can prevent proper communication from the brain to the body which can interfere with a child’s capacity to thrive and cause decreased function throughout their rapidly growing body. Pediatric chiropractic care is a type of natural healthcare available for children. This gentle treatment option can improve mobility, reduce pain, and increase quality of life.
Even if your child is in excellent health, bumps and bruises accumulate over time which result in health issues in their later years. Chiropractic care for kids is very safe, effective and beneficial for their overall health. Adjustments are modified to fit a child’s size, weight, and unique conditions. Many parents report that their children enjoy their chiropractic adjustments and look forward to subsequent visits. They also report that their children experience a greater level of health while under regular chiropractic care.
Pediatric chiropractic care is completely safe for children. The doctor uses modified techniques that are extremely gentle which takes the child’s developing spinal structures and nervous system into account. Adjusting an infant and child is like feeling the ripeness of a tomato! There is no “twisting” and “cracking” that is commonly seen when adjusting adults.
