Child Chiropractic Care

Newborns, infants, and children can benefit from chiropractic care also. The birth process may be the cause of their first subluxation. Then learning to walk, ride a bike, or playing sports can produce so-called growing pains. Ignored, these problems may worsen until they become more difficult to correct as an adult.

Today we find more parents bringing their children to chiropractors for day-to-day health concerns we are all familiar with:

• Colds
• Sore throats
• Ear infections
• Fevers
• Colic
• Asthma
• Tonsillitis
• Allergies
• Bed-wetting
• Infections
• Pains
• Falls
• Stomach aches
• And the 101 little and big things children go through as they grow up

Purpose for Child Chiropractic Care

The purpose of chiropractic care for children is to remove spinal nerve stress, a serious and often painless condition most children (and adults) have in their bodies. Spinal nerve stress interferes with the proper function of the nervous system, can weaken internal organs and organ systems, lower one’s resistance, reduce healing potential, and set the stage for sickness and disorders of all kinds.

Treatments

When a chiropractor frees the nervous system from spinal stress, the healing power of the body is unleashed: the immune system functions more efficiently, resistance to disease increases, and your child’s body functions more efficiently. Your child can respond to internal and external environmental stresses such as germs, changes in temperature, humidity, toxins, pollen, and all the other stresses he/she comes in contact with more efficiently by permitting their body’s natural healing potential to function at its best.

Doctors of chiropractic care believe it is much more important to prevent diseases than wait until illness occurs. Through regular adjustments, proper diet, exercise, and good posture, we can help you to raise a child whose body is structurally and functionally sound.
