Chiropractic and Children: An Effective Approach to Keep Children Healthy As They Grow and Develop

If you ask an expectant parent their preference between a boy and girl, you most likely will not get a direct answer to your question.
The answer you will get is the sentiment most important to any parent - a healthy child first and foremost.
Today, more and more parents are choosing chiropractic care as an important component to their child's health and continued well-being.
Did you know that some of the problems that adults have encountered can be traced back as early as birth? Some cases of child-birth have been so traumatic that the child has suffered fractures in both clavicle bones.
Natural childbirth can create spinal and nervous system problems by stressing the delicate infant's spine which leads some parents to take their children to a chiropractor as newborns.
Stress on the spine creates misalignments that compress the nerves.
Chiropractors refer to this misalignment as "subluxations".
Subluxations create many problems for a child such as colic, allergies, sleeping disorders and chronic infections to name a few.
Chiropractic care focuses on these spinal problems and corrects them through gentle and effective adjustments of the spine.
The central nervous system is responsible for all functions of the body (cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, digestive, integumentary or skin, reproductive and lymphatic systems).
The role of the Chiropractor is not to heal the body because the body heals itself; rather, the chiropractor checks the spine for nerve compression and removes it by chiropractic adjustments.
This allows for the body to function at its highest potential without the use of drugs or surgery.
As an infant develops, they will lift their head, roll, crawl, walk and eventually fall.
These normal developmental activities affect the alignment of the spine.
Once babies become toddlers and begin the cycle of walking, running and other childhood activities, accidents unfortunately become the norm and can take a toll on the spine.
Through every developmental stage from toddler to pre-school, adolescent to teenager, there remains one constant - mishaps are bound to occur and this is where chiropractic care is vital.
Throughout their school experience, children will carry their books in book bags or back packs.
While efficient for the student, these bags are at the root of aching backs and sore necks.
Did you know 20% of a child's weight is the maximum amount of weight that a book-bag should be? As the bag becomes heavier with each added item, the daily stress of carrying the bag on the back has been shown to alter a child's posture and gait.
Chiropractic can help.
Benefits of chiropractic care for your child may include but are not limited to improved behavior and attitude, better sleeping, faster recovery time with injuries, less pain during growth spurts and an improved immune system.
Falls, injuries, sickness and accidents are inevitable as we grow and develop.
How the child recovers and continues to live a high quality of life is what matters most.
Visit your Chiropractor and discover why chiropractic care is a great choice for the health and well-being of your child.
