Babies and kids develop at astonishing rates, and ensuring that the nervous system is free from any interference to development is essential.
The nervous system controls processes such as growth, reaching developmental milestones, reflex integration, digestion, respiration, organ development and function, and the immune system.
When the spine is free of stress and tension, children’s bodies function the way nature intended.
Babies can be adjusted as early as birth, as the birth process itself can be stressful, and small imbalances in baby’s spine can result.
Parents bring their babies to a specialized Chiropractor to help with challenges such as nursing and latching issues, torticollis, sleep issues, colic, reflux, digestive issues and developmental issues.
Chiropractic care for newborn babies is very gentle and honoring.
Soft touch and subtle movements are used to bring ease into areas of spinal imbalance. Babies often sleep through the adjusting process, and most often enjoy the experience.
Growing children can benefit from Chiropractic care as they are learning to sit up, crawl, walk and run. Bumps and falls that occur from these milestones can create tension in the spine and body over time.
Older children can experience physical stress from sports and play, postural stress from sitting in class, using smart phones and computers, and mental/emotional stress all of which effect the spine and nervous system.
Having your children receive regular Chiropractic is one of the most effective forms of preventative healthcare. The goal is to allow kids to experience childhood with as much vigor, health, and happiness that they can handle!
