From the birth process itself to the falls and bumps they experience while learning to walk, children can have misalignments in their spine. When there’s that inference in their nervous system, their bodies can’t function as they should. As a result, kids can get sick easily, dealing with everything from colic and ear infections to asthma and allergies.
The Power of the Adjustment
The health of the spine is critically important in a child’s development and growth. We would rather grow a child into a healthy adult versus them becoming sick later in life.
According to some research, children under regular chiropractic care miss fewer school days because they’re not as sick as often. Why? Because the spine is connected to every function in the body, keeping the spine healthy can boost whole-body health.
Of course, many kids are not back in the classroom yet due to the pandemic. However, children under chiropractic care can stay healthy-mentally and physically-while learning at home.
Chiropractic also can help with ADD and ADHD, giving parents an alternative to medications that have many associated side effects.
Providing Gentle Care
If your child has never been adjusted before you may wonder what to expect. First, chiropractic is extremely safe for people of all ages, including children. We also use gentle techniques. Children aren’t adjusted the same as adults. Using low-force methods, we can safely and effectively adjust your child.
