wellness care for children

More and more parents are seeking chiropractic care for their children because many spinal problems seen in adults begin as early as birth. Even natural birthing methods can stress an infant’s spine and nervous system. The resulting irritation to the nerve system caused by spinal and cranial misalignment can cause many newborn health complaints. Colic, breathing problems, developmental delay, nursing difficulties, sleep disturbances  and chronic infections can often be traced back to nervous system stress.

​As the child begins to participate in regular childhood activities, such as skating or riding a bike, small yet significant spinal misalignments may occur. Injuries during childhood is one of the most common reasons a parent seeks care for their child. If neglected, spinal traumas during this period of rapid growth may lead to more serious problems later in life.

The nervous system controls and coordinates the function of all the systems in the body: the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, hormonal and immune systems. This is why nerve interference can affect any aspect of health. The chiropractic adjustment restores nerve system function, allowing the body the ability to be in a greater state of health and well-being.

Your chiropractor will take your history and perform an exam to determine if spinal misalignments are present. Chiropractic adjusting procedures are modified to fit a child’s size, weight, and unique spinal developmental stage. Given that some chiropractors do not work with children, it is always best to call the clinic first. Some practitioners tailor their practice around children and focus on preventative health, while others focus on other specialties.
