Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care is not just for adults. More and more parents are seeing the many benefits of their children receiving chiropractic care. Some of the benefits of pediatric chiropractic care include improved sleep, improved behavior and attitude, and improved immune system function. Children may encounter many stresses in their everyday lives, which can cause them to have issues with growth and development.
Providing chiropractic care for children can be a sensitive issue because their spine and nervous system are still developing. But there are situations and conditions where chiropractic care can benefit children. We’ll thoroughly evaluate your child’s symptoms and/or conditions to determine if chiropractic care could benefit them. We’ll then develop a plan to treat your child with the compassion and care they need.
Pediatric chiropractic care can help children with musculoskeletal issues, including problems with posture or alignment. Often times these issues are caused by birth trauma, falls, or accidents during childhood. Some parents also seek pediatric chiropractic services to help with colic and general irritability in infants. Additionally, pediatric chiropractic care can benefit children who have recurrent ear infections.
Developmental Delays
Parents of children with developmental delays may explore pediatric chiropractic care as part of a holistic approach to improving developmental issues. Spinal adjustments can improve the neural brain development in a child, promoting improved concentration and development of their motor skills. Pediatric chiropractic care can relieve pressure and stress, allowing their body to function at its best.
Neurological Conditions
Parents of children with neurological conditions, such as cerebral palsy, often seek pediatric chiropractic care as a complementary therapy. Studies indicate that children receiving spinal manipulation chiropractic care were able to sit and stand more easily. These children also became more active as they enjoyed improved coordination and more peaceful sleep.
