Helping Children Develop Optimally
Pediatric chiropractic is the most important form of chiropractic care. Most health problems adults have start during childhood, due to issues ranging from traumatic birth, to the slips, falls, sports, back packs, rough housing, poor posture and everyday physical injuries associated with growing up. Imagine never going to the dentist until you’re 30 years old; what kind of tooth and gum decay would you have?
We’ve noticed that it’s empowering to teach children that solutions don’t always lie in the taking of a pill. Kids that grow up with the understanding that health comes from within, enjoy a substantial advantage in the lifelong optimization of their wellness potential.
Benefits of Pediatric Chiropractic
Our pediatric chiropractors provides gentle chiropractic adjustments designed for the unique needs of children, babies and newborns. As the nervous system controls all function in the body, it’s important for children as young as a day old to get off to a great start in life by optimizing that function. Research shows that 85-90% of all normal births include some spinal damage, usually to the upper neck of the baby. That’s why we spend time educating all new parents on the benefits of having their little ones checked for misalignment.
Pediatric chiropractic is extremely safe and gentle. Newborns and infants are adjusted with no more pressure than you’d use to test the ripeness of a tomato or the act of placing a fingertip on an eyelid. Most parents comment that they see almost instant improvement in the well-being of their child after being adjusted.
Here are some of the most common benefits of pediatric chiropractic:
- Better focus and concentration in school
- Calmer digestion
- Decreased necessity for medications
- Fewer injuries
- Increases in athletic performance
- Less feeding difficulties
- Stronger immune capacity
Heart Warming Story
4 year old Jessica came to my office with her right leg internally rotated hip, with severe difficulty walking. The medical diagnosis was Childhood Hip Dysplasia and surgery was recommended by her pediatrician. After her first right sacroiliac adjustments her hips were back in place and was able to walk normally. Jessica was a breach birth and was delivered by being pulled by her right hip.
