CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR CHILDREN: SAFE, GENTLE, EFFECTIVE

Chiropractic care for children offers your family a solid foundation for wellness. Throughout pregnancy, birth, and childhood, the ‘chiropractic lifestyle’ offers you and your family greater health and overall well-being.    

More and more parents are seeking chiropractic care for their children. Many spinal problems seen in adults began as early as birth. 

Even during “natural” birthing methods an infant’s spine and nervous system can be easily stressed. Watching a “natural” birth you will see the considerable force applied around the head and neck of the infant. As a result, spinal misalignments are caused by such stress, impairing the function of the nervous system. 

Minor traumas throughout a child’s everyday activities, for example falling off a bike, falling over whilst taking his or her first steps are more than enough to cause dysfunction and spinal –misalignments. This could lead to impaired nervous system function – causing a whole host of problems.   

Problems commonly seen from nervous system interference include colic, sleep disturbances and behavioural problems. It is important to understand that the Chiropractor does not treat the “condition” or “disease”. The Chiropractors expertise lies in locating the areas of spinal dysfunction and correcting them, helping the body remove any interference caused by the spinal misalignments, promoting the natural healing process.
