Free Well Baby Checks and Scoliosis Screenings
We are all aware of the excellent benefits chiropractic adjustments have for adults. Adjustments restore proper motion to fixated joints, or subluxations, removing an eventual irritation to the nervous system. Though the internal mechanism responsible for health and healing is the same in adults and children, the adjustment is quite different. There is usually less tension in a child's spine allowing for an extremely comfortable adjustment. Many children are excited to get adjusted because of the gentleness of the adjustment and how great they feel when they leave the chiropractor's office. Also, children generally need fewer adjustments than their parents because the healing process is much faster in a child when compared to an adult. Improving the function of the nervous system through chiropractic adjustments will optimize overall health and healing potential by addressing the root cause of a symptom. Given that adjustments enhance the function of the nervous system, chiropractors are able to assist children with a variety of conditions. Among the conditions responding well to chiropractic are:
- Poor sleep, Sleep apnea/snoring
- Nursing problems, Spitting up
- Asymmetrical head shape
- Asthma
- Constipation
- Head tilt/torticollis
- Bed-wetting
- Scoliosis
- Ear infections
- Chronic upper respiratory infections
- Extremity injuries
- Growing pains/foot or leg cramps
- Incontinence (bowel or bladder)
- Gait abnormalities
- ADD, ADHD, learning disabilities
- Back, neck pain
- Headaches
- Abdominal pain
The first subluxation, or fixated joint, is often a result of the delivery process during birth, so it is never too early for a child to be adjusted. If you know a child who could benefit from chiropractic adjustments or are interested in enhancing your own child's health, call our office to set up an appointment today. Through chiropractic care children can achieve their full health potential.
