Do Children Need Chiropractic Care

People of any age can benefit from chiropractic care. It can be especially important for children to receive regular care because their bodies are growing and changing so rapidly. During their development process a child’s body relies strongly on the central nervous system.. 

Why Do Children Need Chiropractic Care?

When a child’s spine becomes subluxated – misalignment of the spine that puts pressure on the nerve, creating nerve interference, it can create several problems. Children are constantly running, falling, jumping and playing which can cause subluxations and they will likely be unnoticeable because they get right back up and continue to play with no pain.  Chiropractic care can help to keep your child healthy by releasing those subluxations maximizing the communication from the brain to the tissues helping their body function and develop at their best. Subluxations of the spine create lots of tension on a child’s nervous system which has been known to create concentration and behavioral issues. Regular adjustments improve these conditions by aligning the spine correctly, relieving pressure on those nerves which allows children to reach their greatest possible level of health.

Can Chiropractic Care Help Newborn Babies?

Even newborns can benefit from chiropractic care! The birthing process can be very strenuous on their tiny bodies and has been known to cause subluxations, especially in the neck. Newborns should be checked for spinal subluxations to be sure their nervous systems are working at maximum efficiency so they can grow as healthy as possible. Chiropractic care for newborns has also been known to help with colic and breastfeeding difficulties. Research done in 2012 regarding chiropractic care for newborns found that those who received adjustments no longer had an issue with colic or the crying was greatly reduced than those who did not receive treatment.
