children & chiropractic care pink-leaf

2kidsMany people wonder why a child would need to see a chiropractor. Well, just like adults, children develop spinal subluxations. However, unlike adults, spinal problems in children usually do not cause back pain.

Since spinal changes can occur during the birthing process, many parents are now choosing to have their newborn’s spine checked right after birth. Many developmental milestones such as learning to hold up the head, sitting upright, crawling, and walking are all activities that are affected by spinal alignment which is why it is important to have a child checked by a chiropractor. Additionally, falls, sports injuries, playground bumps, heavy school bags and sitting all day in the classroom are all physical stresses to the growing child’s spine and nervous system.

Our doctors have worked with many children, including their own, to help reduce symptoms such as:

  • Ear infections
  • Colic
  • Sleep Disturbances
  • Constipation
  • Bed Wetting
  • Reflux and more
