When is the Best Time to Have My Child Checked?
Chiropractic care for kids is nothing new. From birth trauma to everyday bumps and falls, chiropractic offers natural, drug-free solutions to keep your children developing at their full potential.
My Child Does Not Have Back Pain
That’s perfect! We hope your child never has back pain. Chiropractic care has nothing to do with back pain at all. Chiropractic has much more to do with removing interference to the nervous system. Chiropractors refer to nerve interference as a “subluxation.” If you see a chiropractor for back pain, your spine also has subluxations that your doctor is addressing each time you visit.
Children typically do not experience much back pain, but they do experience many symptoms that are often related to nerve interference. Common conditions that respond well to chiropractic include:
- Colic, reflux, constipation, nursing & digestive issues
- Ear, sinus and respiratory infections
- Autism, ADHD, Anxiety and Sensory Processing Disorder
- Asthma, Allergies and other immune challenges
Chiropractic adjustments reduce abnormal levels of nerve interference in your body that are caused by stressors from our lifestyle and environment.
These stressors include falls, accidents, injuries, and traumas. Collective traumas include repetitive stressors, and these include things like poor posture, excessive mobile phones, and tablet use, carrying a backpack, sports, and even schoolwork. Understandably, these stressors are mostly unavoidable, but they do require maintenance similar to your teeth needing dental hygiene.
I find it best to think of chiropractors as the dentist for your spine. Comparing a chiropractor to the dentist seems to make the most sense to people as they can easily relate poor dental hygiene to cavities and other dental issues as poor spinal hygiene is related to poor health and arthritis and back pain.
That’s easy! Better Health!
As I have mentioned earlier, chiropractic care reduces the stress on your nervous system and reducing nervous system stress has a compounding effect on our overall health. Many parents report the following improvements for their child:
- Improved sleep, nursing, and digestion in infants
- Less illness & infections with more rapid recovery
- Changed behavior, concentration, and mood
- Better connection & perception of their environment
