Many of our patients enjoy numerous benefits from chiropractic can and wonder if their children can experience the same positive effects. Some also worry that chiropractic isn’t safe for kids and are curious about how it will affect them. Chiropractic care is natural, safe, and effective for all ages. Here’s how it can benefit your kids.
Chiropractic for Kids
Kids receiving chiropractic adjustments is nothing new and it has proven to be effective in addressing and treating many disorders specific to children. By correcting subluxations and reducing discomfort that leads to pain and crying, chiropractic can help with colicky babies. Children with sleep problems, gait issues, or abnormal spinal curvature can also benefit from chiropractic care. Chiropractic is non-invasive and a holistic approach founded upon effective and gentle adjustment techniques that are well-tested and safe for family members of any age.
Chiropractic for When Kids Get Hurt
Let’s face it – kids sometimes just get hurt! Not only can chiropractic care help treat the conditions above (and many more!), but it can also help when kids inevitably get hurt. They run and fall, climb the monkey bars, jump off the bed, and injure themselves doing all sorts of activities. Chiropractic care aligns the spine and joints and promotes the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Not only do adjustments help heal injuries, but they also promote faster recovery and prevent injury from happening in the first place by creating an optimally functioning body.
Optimal Body Function
An optimally functioning body is a health goal no matter what age, but it is particularly important for growing bodies. When the spine is in proper alignment, the nervous systems flows and communicates at its best. When misalignments are present in the spine, it can put unnecessary pressure on nearby nerves, leading to pain and interference with the brain’s ability to communicate with the rest of the body. Chiropractic adjustments correct these misalignments, creating an ideal environment for the brain and body to communicate. A growing body depends on clear communication as it is constantly changing and needs accurate input to develop properly. Making chiropractic a part of your child’s healthcare routine can help them achieve optimal body function from baby to adult.
