Children and Chiropractic Care

Do your kids jump from the couch, the bed, the stairs, like they’re acrobats? Or stunt doubles in a movie? This is pretty common for kids under youthful energy and fearless minds. Do you have babies or infants that can’t move their head very well or are hitting their head against the crib or always grabbing their neck or head with their hands? Parents see this activity in a baby or infant can be stressful or unsettling. Do your children have allergies or they seem to be sick all the time? This can be sad and frustrating for a child and the parent. A child’s life does not have to stay this way with struggles of health and physical ability. Children get exposed to many different forms of stress as do adults. We expect kids to be resilient, young, and tress free. However they really do have daily stressors that effect the functioning of their nervous system and their health. We’re going to review some of these stressors and how to correct them at your local chiropractic clinic.

First, many babies and infants have physical injuries from pregnancy delivery. This is why some babies and infants will have a hard time turning their heads, rolling over, crawling, or sleeping. All of these types of injuries or traumas from birth can be corrected with simple and subtle chiropractic techniques that are safe and quick.

Second, kids that have tumbles and falls playing and jumping definitely have injuries to their muscles, joints, ligaments and nerves. Yes, they are resilient and young and growing, but they are also still human and are prone to injury. These injuries are commonly bones and joints that get misaligned spraining ligaments, straining muscles, and pinching nerves. When this happens, the misalignments stay. They cannot self-correct. The injury may become chronic, altering their normal body movements and performance. These injuries can simply be corrected at a chiropractor’s office with a quick and safe manipulations of the joints and muscles. Kids that suffer from allergy, illness, or regular constipation definitely have a dysfunctional nervous system. Essentially the nervous system is in a state of crisis causing altered immunity, hypersensitivity to allergens and impaired digestion.

These problems can all be easily corrected and managed by the chiropractor with adjustments and multiple therapies. Medication is not necessary to correct these problems that we have talked about in the above paragraphs. The chiropractic doctors is a specialist in treating the nervous system, correcting its dysfunctions and injures to restore energy, oxygen, and blood to all of our organs, muscles and cells. If you have a child that is suffering from sickness or injury give them the opportunity to heal and get healthy for today and the future.
