Children & Chiropractic
Pediatric chiropractic care supports the health and happiness of your child. Children experience stress, just like adults, and this stress effects the function of their nervous system. As stress interferences with the brain and body communication, children are unable to express their full potential for health, brilliance and happiness.
KIDS love helping care for mom and dad.

The Earlier, The Better
Did you know that many spinal problems seen in adults began as early as birth? Even natural birthing methods can stress an infant’s spine and developing nerve system. The resulting irritation to the nerve system caused by spinal and cranial misalignment can be the cause of many newborn health complaints. Colic, breathing problems, nursing difficulties, sleep disturbances, allergic reactions and chronic infections can often be traced to nerve system stress. Since significant spinal trauma can occur at birth, many parents have their newborns checked right away.
Growing Up With Chiropractic
As kids begins to participate in regular kid activities like skating or riding a bike, small yet significant spinal misalignments (subluxations) may occur. If neglected, the injuries during this period of rapid growth may lead to more serious problems later in life. Subtle trauma throughout childhood will affect the future development of the spine leading to impaired nervous system function. Any interference to the vital nerve system will adversely affect the body’s ability to function at its best.
Creativity, Learning & Higher Brain Function
Nervous system interference can put a child in fight and flight mode, activating the sympathetic nervous system. When this happens the areas of the brain dealing with safety are survival are activated and areas of higher brain function are not as accessible. Chiropractic adjustments help the body release the stress and switch back into ease where the functions of the frontal brain are activated. This is the part of the brain where we process learning, writing, creativity and big picture thinking such as purpose and vision.
Injuries, Misalignments & Regular Check-Ups
A clear nervous system is essential for the growth and development of children.
One of the most common reasons parents seek care for their child is trauma from an injury of some sort. These misalignments may or may not result in immediate pain or symptoms. Regular chiropractic checkups can identify potential spinal injury from these traumas, make the correction early in life and help avoid many of the health complaints seen later in adults. Proper spinal care is an important key to better health!
Sensory Disorders
The Journal of Pediatric Maternal and Family health reports that chiropractic care is a beneficial for children with a neuro-developmental disorder. Sensory processing disorder is an impairment in detecting, modulating, or responding to sensory stimuli. Misalignments of the spine, called subluxations, can cause this malfunction in how the brain interprets sensory intake. Children with sensory disorders are said to have a “disconnect” between the brain and the body. Properly functioning vestibular and proprioceptive sensory systems are the two key components in developing and maintaining a healthy sensory processing system. Because these two sensory systems have a large part of their function housed in the spine, it is essential that children with signs of sensory disorders be evaluated by a chiropractor.
