The Benefits Of a Well-adjusted Child

There has been a vast amount of media coverage focusing on chiropractic treatment and spinal problems in children in the recent years. Most patients ask, “why would I take my child to the chiropractor, what could be wrong with my child’s spine?”  Anything from a traumatic birth to the daily slips and falls the in early months and years of a child’s development can upset the normal functioning of the spine and produce a vast amount of issues.

Various sources can include birth canal trauma, falls, automobile accidents, excessive motion, unsupported head and neck motion and even emotional issues, like fear and anxiety, can lead to dangerous stressors causing interference in a child’s spine.  Something as simple as the activity of learning to walk causes countless simple falls that can induce trauma to young a child’s head, neck, and spine.

An extensive amount of resources support pediatric chiropractic and acupuncture care as a gentle and effective way to help children deal with conditions like colic, asthma, ear infections, digestive issues, poor immunity, headaches, good neural plasticity and much more. That’s right, infants and young children can get nerve irritation as well.
