Children & Chiropractic...
Parents often ask if Chiropractic is beneficial for
children. The answer is most definitely "yes!".
Whether addressing a specific health related problem or
looking to increase the child's overall health, Chiropractic
plays a leading role when it comes to working with you child's
health.
While other health care providers treat only a child's
symptoms, your Chiropractor constantly strives to find the
cause of the problem by assessing the nervous system, the
body's master control system. Because the nervous system
maintains and controls all functions of the body, it makes
sense to keep your child's nervous system as health as
possible to reach the maximum health potential.
Why Check a Child for Vertebral Subluxation?
Chiropractors look for Vertebral Subluxation. this means an
interference to the spinal cord and/or spinal nerve tools that
travel between vertebrae in the spinal column. It often
results from the stresses of everyday activities.
With the stresses adults endure every day, it would be
foolish to think that our children are immune from such
stress. Physical stress, such as falls, jolts, jars, tumbles
and accidents are but a few of the ways children acquire
Vertebral Subluxation.
If you see an infant asleep in a car sear, look at the
position of the child's neck. This postural distortion is just
a sample of the way children acquire Vertebral Subluxation.
The birthing process may in fact be where many children
receive their first Vertebral Subluxation! Along with chemical
and emotional stresses, it is obvious that children are not
immune to Vertebral Subluxation.
Is It Safe to Have a Child Adjusted?
Adjustments given to children are gentle and safe and
different from those given to adults. They accommodate
differences in size, shape and strength of the surrounding
tissue. The far-reaching effects of a healthy nervous system
are essential for proper development and continued health.
Most children can receive a Chiropractic adjustment and
sleep through the whole process! In fact, most children enjoy
their chiropractic adjustments and can't wait to get on the
table to have their nervous systems checked.

Because Chiropractic seeks to establish a healthy nervous
system, it makes sense that any person can benefit from
