Chiropractic care is often thought of as something for adults only, yet children also benefit from chiropractic adjustments. The birthing process puts stress on their spinal and nervous systems, resulting in potential developmental problems, among other health issues. Scheduling visits for your child with a chiropractor will benefit them greatly as they grow and develop.

Why Chiropractic Adjustments Benefit Children

1. Spinal Trauma at Birth

As a child is born, stress is put on their developing spinal and nervous systems. The resulting misalignments and nervous system strain beget many of the common health problems infants experience, such as colic, sleep issues, nursing challenges, breathing problems, and chronic infections. The decision to get a newborn checked for spinal misalignments right away helps prevent these issues and encourages healthy development.

2. Small Subluxations

Children grow at an astoundingly fast rate, making optimal spinal health essential to avoid nervous system problems. The nervous system is the body’s communicator, and any impairment interferes with its ability to transmit signals among other systems, including the digestive, immune, circulatory, hormonal, and respiratory systems.

3. Injuries & Trauma

Spinal and nervous system misalignments from an injury do not always manifest immediately. Taking your child for routine chiropractic adjustments keeps any resulting trauma to a minimum because the spinal misalignments are corrected before they can cause further damage. Your chiropractor will suggest a recommended number of treatments to ensure the healthy growth and development of your little one’s spinal and nervous systems.
