Kids Need Treatment Too!

How, Why and When?!

It is safe and healthy for kiddos to be treated from the day they are born! The birthing process can be a traumatic experience and it can cause stress on the child’s spine and developing nervous system. Chiropractic care can help with small mis-alignments (subluxations) with gentle adjustments.

As the kids start to participate in regular childhood activities like soccer, bike riding or just normal playtime activity, small yet significant spinal mis-alignments can occur. If these mis-alignments are ignored, the child may feel pain or be uncomfortable and not be able to communicate their issue. We want to make sure your kiddo is functioning at their highest and best ability by making sure their nervous system is healthy!

Regular chiropractic visits can help find potential misalignments or injuries from all the falls, trips, sports injuries and any other crazy activities kids take part in. By finding the problem and making the correction early in life, it may help avoid many of the health complaints seen later in adults. (Remember that fall from the treehouse or the skateboard that never healed correctly?!?)

Not only is chiropractic care important for all of the trauma kids put their bodies through, but gentle adjustments can help with things like colic, headaches and ear infections by making sure their nervous systems and muscles are clear of any disturbances.

"It is important to understand that the Doctor of Chiropractic does not treat conditions or diseases. The expertise of the chiropractor is in checking the child’s spine for mis-alignments that impair nerve system function therefore affecting overall body function. The bones of the spine and the vertebrae, house and protect the spinal cord. The spinal cord is an extension of the brain and carries information from the brain to the body parts and back to the brain again. Subluxations interfere with the nerves’ ability to transmit this vital information.” Icpa4kids.org
