CHIROPRACTIC FOR KIDS

As children grow up, they learn to walk, run, ride bikes and play sports. Inevitably, learning these activities means falls, trips, bruises and scars are part of the process. Unfortunately, many of these traumas cause spinal misalignments that can effect how our children feel and function. Often times, damage to the spine starts much earlier in a child’s life during the birth process.

While childbirth is designed to be a natural and beautiful process, both mom and child are put under extreme amounts of physical and emotional stress during the delivery process. Recent scientific research has revealed that 80% of infants were found to have spinal misalignment (subluxation) of the upper neck causing interference to neurological function. Birth interventions including forceps extraction, vacuum extraction and cesarean section drastically increase the probability and severity of birth trauma and subluxation.

In addition to physical stress and trauma, our kids live in a busier, more complex generation than we did. Schedules are packed, social media is everywhere, and food quality isn’t what it used to be. We have more stressors coming from every direction, and all combined, it is overwhelming! The more ‘stressors’ that build up, the harder it is for our bodies to adapt and overcome. The combination of these stressors have a detrimental effect on our kids’ nervous system and leads to a multitude of health challenges.
