Many of our patients come to us asking if chiropractic can benefit their kids – especially during back to school season. They have enjoyed the benefits of chiropractic but wonder if their children can enjoy the same positive effects. Some worry that chiropractic adjustments aren’t safe for kids and are curious about the effects chiropractic will have on their kids. Here’s how chiropractic can be beneficial for the growing bodies in your family.
Chiropractic for Kids with Conditions
Chiropractic care has been an effective treatment for many disorders and conditions specific to children. By correcting subluxations and misalignments and reducing discomfort that causes pain and crying, chiropractic has been known to improve the condition of babies with colic. Chiropractic also helps children with sleeping and those that have gait problems or abnormal curvature. Chiropractic is a non-invasive and natural treatment founded upon gentle and effective adjustment techniques. These adjustments are well-tested and safe for patients of all ages.
Kids for Injured Kids
Chiropractic is beneficial for treating the conditions listed above (and more!) It can also help restore your child’s health after they sustain an injury because let’s face it – sometimes kids just get hurt. They jump off the bed, run and fall, play on the monkey bars, and hurt themselves playing sports. Chiropractic care returns the joints and spine to proper alignment and fixes the root cause of the issue, not just the symptoms. This means that not only can chiropractic adjustments treat an injured child, but can also prevent injury from happening in the first place and speed up recovery time.
Optimal Body Function
Optimal body function is essential for all ages. When the spine is in proper alignment, the nervous system can flow and communicate more effectively. When misalignments are present in the spine, it can put additional pressure on the nerves nearby, which causes pain and affects the brain’s ability to communicate with the rest of the body. Chiropractic fixes those misalignments and makes way for improved communication between the brain and body, which is especially important for kids. That’s because a growing body depends on a healthy nervous system as it is constantly changing and needs accurate information to develop properly. Chiropractic can help your child achieve this from baby to adult.
