Can Chiropractic Help Your Kids?

Over the years, many of our chiropractic patients have asked if chiropractic would work for their kids. They have enjoyed the benefits of chiropractic care, and want to know if their children would experience the same positive effects. Some also worry that chiropractic isn’t safe for children, and are curious about the results they will see. Chiropractic can benefit every age group in your family, including your children. Here’s how:

CHIRO FOR KIDS

Chiropractic care for children is not a new practice, and is one that has been proven to be effective in treating a number of disorders specifically in children. For example, when subluxations are corrected, the discomfort that causes pain and crying is reduced and the condition of colicky babies has been shown to improve as a result of chiropractic care. Our chiropractic practice has also treated children with issues like sleeping problems, abnormal curvature of the spine, and gait problems. Chiropractic care is a natural and non-invasive form of treatment founded upon effective and gentle adjustment techniques that are safe for all age groups.

KIDS GET HURT!

It’s pretty cut and dry - sometimes kids just get hurt. Chiropractic can help with ongoing issues, and it can also restore your child’s health when he or she sustains an injury. Kids run and jump, they fall, they hurt themselves playing sports, and the list goes on. Chiropractic adjustments align the joints and spine and fixes the cause of the issue to get them back to feeling great.

OPTIMAL NERVOUS SYSTEM FUNCTION

Whether you are an adult or a child, when your spine is in proper alignment, your nervous system is better able to communicate as it should. When the spine is misaligned, additional stress if put on nearby nerves causing pain and negatively effecting the brain’s ability to communicate with the body. Chiropractic treatments fix these misalignments so the brain is able to communicate properly, allowing it to make the best decision’s for the body’s health. This is especially important for a child’s growing body, as it depends on a healthy nervous system during growth and development. Chiropractic can help your child achieve this as they grow from baby to healthy adult.

If you would like your child to enjoy the same chiropractic benefits that you see, contact us for a consultation. Our chiropractic professionals want you and your family to enjoy the best health possible and are here to help.

Patient Reviews

"Very pleased with the practice. The service is excellent and everyone seems to truly care about you as a person first. Most businesses see customers or money walking in, but these practitioners love what they do. It shows."

- Patty Uzar

"I've been with Healthy Life for many years. The staff is very friendly and efficient. The services offered are very beneficial to my wellness routine. I receive massages and adjustments regularly. They offer many packages and sales that makes it affordable for me. I have recently tried the hyperbaric chamber for both recovery and general health. This is has been really helpful since I exercise often and intensely. I have also noticed an improvement in my brain fog which comes from normal aging and day to day stress. Dr. Rob and Dr. Tina are very good chiropractors who make sure they are providing a complete wellness exam and service. I continue to maintain a healthy body and recover quickly from my day to day activities. Overall, I would recommend Healthy Life Chiropractic."

- Rachelle Prevost

"I absolutely love Healthy Life! The staff is wonderful and helpful! The doctors are amazing! I hurt my back a few months ago exercising, and nothing seemed to help! I went in for a routine visit, and explained. I was consistent with my adjustments, muscle stim and massage and within a few weeks, I am back to exercising without pain! I am a Flight Attendant, so closing overhead bins and pushing a heavy cart are necessary for my job, so I appreciate them keeping my healthy and not missing work! My foot levelers are a game changer! The best investment!

My update yesterday validated what my body told me! I am back to almost 100% You will love them!"

- Melissa Beach

"I am very grateful for the care I receive from the entire staff and doctors at HLC! They are very attentive to my specific health, well-being, and pain relief needs. I take advantage of the fact that I can go for chiropractic care, massage, therapy, supplements, pain relief, and more. It’s great to enter the practice and know that I will be treated like family."

- Jan Tardie

"I was experiencing a lot of pain in my feet following the birth of my son. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. After seeing my PCP and being prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, I looked into the benefits of Chiropractic care. I was in so much pain from the plantar fasciitis that is because difficult for me to walk. I was unable to carry my newborn and walk because I was concerned for his safety. As part of my care plan, custom orthotics were recommended. Within days of receiving my orthotics I had a reduction in my pain. Regular Chiropractic visits and my orthotics have allowed me to be able to care for my son again!"

- Erica Payne

"I worked for Wal-Mart for 20 years walking on hard floors 10 hours a day. I felt a horrible pain in my right hip/buttocks area and could not bend or walk. My sister did a little research and recommended Healthy Life Chiropractic- They do EVERYTHING! After the first treatment, the pain was gone! After being educated on my problems, they worked on my whole body and it feels 100% better. I have never been a good sleeper, but I am sleeping much better and get up in the morning ready to go! I have never felt better!"

- Michael Chambers

"My daughter came in to see Dr. Rob for possible curve in her spine. She was officially diagnosed with scoliosis after her evaluation. As parents, we were having a hard time wrapping out heads around what that meant for our beautiful 8 year old girl. Dr. Rob, Dr. Tina, and the whole staff at Healthy Life Chiropractic have been phenomenal! After 2 months of treatment- regular adjustments and exercises- we are seeing a huge improvement! Her hips are aligned now, her feet meet properly, and she is feeling better all around. We haven’t retaken her x-rays yet- not until we’ve done treatment for a whole year- but based off our experience, and results we’ve seen so far, I am confident that her curve has not gotten worse and has probably even improved!"

- Margaret Wearne

"I began my chiropractic care in October 2017 because of increased pain and decreased mobility in my left hip that had gotten increasingly worse over the previous 4-5 months. I love that I have been able benefit from whole body treatment that in turn has almost completely taken away the issues I was experiencing with my hip. I am so grateful for feeling good again and I highly recommend Healthy Life for your chiropractic care and total life wellness."

- Cindy Chaisson

“The online store is wonderful. It is very convenient for those busy and always on the go. I love all the purchase options. From supplements to oils and even honey can be purchased from your computer or smart phone. I look forward to a search option becoming available as there are so many products offered.”

–Vermillion Himes

"I have been a patient at Healthy Life Chiropractic for over 3 years! After driving several hundred miles a week and spending time on the computer for work, I not only get regular adjustments, I utilize the massage therapists as well. I've recently begun using, with success, Standard Process supplements and Doterra Essential Oils. I appreciate the holistic approach to care by all of the staff at Healthy Life!"
