Chiropractic for Children

Children are, by nature, active and energetic. They run, jump, tumble and fall. Since their bodies are extremely flexible and resilient, they often will show nothing more than a bruise or scrape following minor accidents.

But that's on the outside. On the inside, the body has been jarred with considerable force. The small bones forming the spinal column that protect the central nervous system's spinal cord, can be subluxated and affect a growing spine and its development.

Parents are becoming more and more aware of the importance of having periodic spinal check ups for their children. These spinal evaluations help identify and correct early imbalances or misalignments, monitor a child’s development and give advice on posture and healthy living to insure good and long lasting health. Chiropractic visits can be done every season just like seeing the optometrist and dentist on a regular basis, or after a serious injury. After all, your spine is irreplaceable!

Chiropractic care will optimise function of the nerves and spine. The adjustment is safe and gentle.

These common childhood disorders can often be linked to spinal dysfunction:

  • Recurrent infections, like ear infection or colds
  • Asthma
  • Scoliosis
  • Headaches
  • Bedwetting
  • « Growing pains »
  • ADHD and ADD
  • Sports injuries
  • Digestive problems, like constipation
