Pediatric Chiropractic
Chiropractic Care for Children
Chiropractic care for children offers your family a solid foundation for wellness. Throughout pregnancy, birth, and childhood, the chiropractic lifestyle offers choices and benefits for your greater health and well-being. Could you imagine never taking your child to a dentist until he or she was in their thirties? Why wait for poor health to be the reason to seek chiropractic care. Have your child’s nerve system checked regularly to ensure that they function at their best!
Remember: “As the twig is bent so grows the tree.”
Children are some of the biggest beneficiaries of chiropractic care. Those who think of chiropractic as primarily a solution for neck and back problems are surprised to learn that chiropractic can be helpful for many types of childhood health problems.
Nervous System Disturbances
The nervous system, consisting of the brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of the body, controls and regulates the entire body. Many childhood health problems are merely the result of nervous system interference, usually along the spine.
Our gentle adjusting techniques help reduce these disturbances so your child�s body can resume working as it was designed. Better health is the natural result when the brain and body have clear communication pathways.
Upon examination, we often find nerve disturbances associated with many types of common childhood health complaints.
While the effects of these nervous system compromises go by a variety of names, chiropractic is not a treatment for them! Our primary aim is to locate and reduce the underlying nervous system dysfunction.
Infertility. Even before birth, restoring nervous system control of reproductive organs has blessed many chiropractic patients with the child they thought was impossible.
Traumatic Birth. Have your newborn checked shortly after birth to detect the effects of in-utero constraint, C-section, vacuum extraction or other aspects of a stressful birth.
Colic. Birth trauma, even from so-called �natural� birthing experiences can often product a child�s first nerve compromise. Lacking the ability to communicate, your baby cries. And cries.
Growing Pains. Pain of any type is a warning that something isn�t right. While considered a �phase they�re going through,� it�s usually a sign that biomechanical stress to the nervous system is present.
Scoliosis. Instead of crude bracing or the all too common �wait and watch� approach, chiropractic care has helped countless children with this common disfigurement.
Wellness.�An obvious symptom isn�t required! Enjoy the peace of mind of having your infant or child checked to uncover structural or neurological problems before they become serious.
Many of the hard-to-correct problems we see in adults are long-standing problems that began, and remained undetected in childhood.
