Chiropractic & Children
Parents who often appreciate the importance of checkups for their children’s teeth, hearing, eyes, nose, and throat draw a blank when it comes to the spine.
A spinal checkup could be one of the most important events of your child’s life. Why? In addition to the stress of childbirth, the constant jumping, falling, running and bumping of the normal childhood often causes vertebral subluxations, with serious health consequences if uncorrected.
Chiropractic for Babies
A newborn’s spine may be subject to abnormal stress as a result of a difficult birth, a breech presentation, cesarean birth, obstetrical error, or abnormal in-utero position during the last trimester. Such spinal stress can lead to health problems.
Chiropractic for Children
Today we find more parents bringing their children to doctors of chiropractic for spinal checkups. With a healthy spinal column that is free from interference, a child’s body can better deal with the sore throats, ear infections, stomachaches, fevers, measles, mumps, and the 101 other problems that often make up young life. Without chiropractic care, some children will continue to live in continued sickness, condemned to a life of taking medicines and perhaps even surgeries.
Patients of all ages can benefit from chiropractic care. Call us to schedule an appointment!
