Chiropractic care provides numerous benefits for children, supporting their growth and development into healthy adults. While it’s a common belief that children don’t need adjustments because they usually don't present with pain, many people aren't aware that spinal misalignments begin during birth.
Pediatrics
A uncomplicated vaginal delivery can be stressful for both mother and baby, which is why it’s important for newborns to be assessed for spinal misalignments. These early misalignments can lead to nerve interference, affecting the child’s nervous system function, growth and development. Since proper nervous system function is crucial for overall health, addressing these misalignments early on in childhood development can prevent and address various issues.
Chiropractic care has been shown to improve symptoms associated with a range of conditions in children including ear infections, colic, asthma, ADHD/ADD, trouble latching, bed-wetting, and mood disorders. By ensuring that the spine and nervous system are functioning optimally, chiropractic care supports a child’s overall well-being and contributes to their long-term health.
Each gentle & specific adjustment a child receives removes the nerve interference, allowing their nervous system to function optimally.
