If you enjoy the benefits of chiropractic care, you may be wondering who else in your family can experience the same benefits. Chiropractic is safe for all ages – and that includes kids! Here’s how chiropractic care can set your kids up for great health.

Why Should Kids Receive Chiropractic Care?

There are two main reasons we treat children at Healthy Life Chiropractic. First is that there are many parents who want their kids to benefit from the same boost to health and wellness that they received from chiropractic care. Parents typically have had some level of exposure to chiropractic or natural healthcare.

Second, just like adults, many kids first receive chiropractic care due to an issue with their health or body mechanics. It’s common to see parents entering our practice looking for natural ways to treat their babies for colic or reflux or children suffering from ear infections, bedwetting, or problems sleeping. Teenagers often suffer from neck, arm, and wrist pain due to an overuse of cell phones. Just like adults, day-to-day life takes a toll on children’s bodies and chiropractic can help.

Peak Performance: Every parent wants their kid to be as healthy as possible and for those whose kids participate in sports, peak performance is important! Sports are often highly competitive and the better the nervous system functions, the better the body will function. Chiropractic care helps the nervous system function optimally and the spine to move as it should, which is the foundation of performance efficiency and full range of motion.

Optimal Nervous System: The nervous system is how the brain communicates with the rest f the body. The brain sends messages through the spinal cord to every system, organ, structure, tissue, and cell in the body. Messages are also sent back o the brain through the same route. The better the nervous system functions, the better the set up for a strong foundation of health.

Natural Pain Relief: Growing pains are no joke! Whether pain is occurring due to injury from sports or just a growing body, pain happens to kids just like it does adults. Chiropractic care can help restore range of motion in extremity joints and the spine. When that motion is restored, the inflammation goes down and pain receptors settle. These components help provide pain relief and encourage the healing process.
