Children Can Benefit From Chiropractic Care
No matter how accustomed you may be to the concept of chiropractic treatment for adults, as a parent you may still be confused or even concerned about applying that same healing modality to your children. But pediatric chiropractic care could actually be one of the healthiest things you ever do for your kids. Here are some reasons why.
A Healthy Start in Life From Our Child Chiropractor
Our child chiropractor, Dr. Lichfield, can perform safe, gentle adjustments on even the youngest children, especially newborns. Many newborn infants display spinal alignment problems that originated during passage through the birth canal, putting the at a disadvantage right from the beginning of life. As infants become toddlers, their toddling typically results in bumps and jolts that may cause fresh misalignments — and these misalignments can interfere with nerve function, growth and development. Periodic wellness checks give our family chiropractor a chance to correct these issues early.
Controlling Childhood Health and Wellness Challenges
Kids are prone to a number of childhood ailments, from colic and ear infections to asthma and allergies. A spinal misalignment that impairs nerve function can contribute to many of these ailments, not least by reducing your child’s immune system response. Pediatric chiropractic adjustments can help minimize the common complaints. Our child chiropractor can also screen for scoliosis in older kids and dispense valuable advice on lifestyle adjustments such as proper use of backpacks (an everyday burden on the spine made worse by overloading or incorrect wear).
