With back to school quickly approaching, the health and wellness of your children is probably more on your mind than ever. Many of our current chiropractic patients who are also parents have wondered if their kids can enjoy the same benefits of chiropractic. Some also worry about chiropractic for young people – is it safe? What kind of results will they see? Here’s what you need to know about chiropractic for kids and how it is beneficial for children of all ages.  

IS CHIROPRACTIC SAFE FOR KIDS?  

Chiropractic care for kids is nothing new. It has been practiced for a long time with results showing it is effective and addressing and treating conditions specific to kids. Chiropractic can help colicky babies by correcting subluxations and reducing discomfort that causes pain and crying. Children that have issues falling and staying asleep have found relief with chiropractic care, as have children with abnormal spinal curvature and gait problems. Chiropractic care is natural, gentle, and non-invasive and is founded upon effective adjustment techniques that are safe and well-tested.  

KIDS GET HURT – CHIROPRACTIC CAN HELP  

Along with the conditions listed above, chiropractic adjustments can help restore kids to health when they sustain an injury. If you are a parent or have spent time around kids, you know they tend to get hurt. They jump off things they shouldn’t, they run and fall, and they injury themselves playing sports. Chiropractic adjustments align the spine and joints and fix the root cause of the issue while also promoting quicker recovery time.  

OPTIMIZE BODY FUNCTION  

By returning the spine to proper alignment, chiropractic promotes healthy nervous system function and communication. When the spine is misaligned, extra pressure can be put on nearby nerves which causes pain and interference with brain and body communication. When these interferences are removed, the brain can communicate efficiently and effectively with the body promoting health and wellness. A young body is particularly reliant upon a healthy nervous system as it is growing and changing every day and requires accurate input to continue on the right developmental path. Chiropractic care can help kids achieve this and thrive as they grow into adulthood.
