It has been our experience that children enjoy receiving their chiropractic adjustments.
Spinal malfunctions caused by falls from learning to walk, or sports injuries in the older child can often be helped with chiropractic care.
Optimum health begins before birth.
Regular chiropractic checkups through childhood are especially beneficial to monitor natural spinal curves as they are established and to minimize with early identification and treatment abnormal curves that may result in scoliosis.
The birth process, crawling, and a toddlers many steps and many bumps and falls should be followed by chiropractic checkups. If neglected, the bumps and falls during this period of rapid growth may lead to spinal issues later in life setting the stage for scoliosis, “growing pains,” and even, as suggested by some studies, a weakened immune system response.
Chiropractic adjusting techniques are modified to fit a child’s size, weight, and unique spinal issues. Parents often report that their children seem healthier than other kids their age.
Many spinal problems seen in adults begin in childhood. Poor spinal hygiene is an important key to better health.
