Why do infants and children need chiropractic care? For so many reasons! The first trauma we will experience in life is being born. Even the most natural and gentle deliveries will cause subluxations (misalignments) in their spine, especially in their neck. This can lead to difficulty in nursing, latching on, colic, constipation, diarrhea, excessive spitting up, difficulty sleeping, and more. A gentle, low-force Chiropractic adjustment will help correct that subluxation and restore proper nerve function in the body, allowing the body to heal itself and function without interference.

 

As children start to crawl, pull themselves up and eventually walk, their bodies will experience many falls and small traumas/injuries on a daily basis, causing subluxations again. Chiropractic adjustments will help to correct those subluxations, allowing their bodies to function without impingement on their nerve function.

 

As children get older, they may become involved in sports. Every practice they have and game they participate in will open the door for more subluxations. Adolescents will also have to have their bodies adapt to sitting even more for school and homework time. When they start to get tired, their posture loses its proper form, causing them to slouch more. This constant slouching puts extra strain on the body, particularly the neck and mid-back. Chiropractic adjustments will work to correct those subluxations, allowing the nerve system to function properly and help to improve their posture.

 

Chiropractic care is vital for all children. Regular Chiropractic care will help allow the body to function at its optimal level. Many children who receive regular Chiropractic adjustments will often experience the benefit of a healthy and high functioning immune system as well!
