Children’s Health

Children often benefit tremendously from chiropractic treatment. The reality is that chiropractic treatments aren’t simply just for neck and back problems, but can resolve a host of issues around the entire body as well as many issues which affect children.

Problems Concerning the Nervous System

The nervous system regulates the entire human body. Childhood health issues are often the result of a disturbance within this system, primarily having to do with the nerves surrounding the spinal area.

Chiropractic treatments for children are significantly more gentle than what adults have come to expect. Knowing exactly where to adjust, newborns and infants are adjusted with no more pressure than you’d use to test the ripeness of a tomato. This is because the anatomy of a child is, of course, quite different than an adult, and this is something any qualified medical professional will fully understand. Many parents have commented that they see almost instant improvements in the well-being of their child.

How Young People Respond to Chiropractic Treatment

Nervous system disturbances are commonly the cause behind many childhood health problems.

These issues go by a number of different medical designations but are primarily caused by nervous system problems, even thought chiropractic treatments are not specifically intended to treat them.

Problems becoming pregnant

Some patients have reported success conceiving after having undergone chiropractic adjusments, enabling them to have a child. Removing physical, chemical and emotional stress allows the brain and body communicate without interference.

Preventing problems during and after delivery

If you’ve recently given birth, having a newborn infant examined by a chiropractic professional can diagnose and problems which may have occurred during the birthing process.

Treating colic

Infants can have their nervous system compromised by any birthing experience, no matter how perfectly it was planned. Colic may be the result of a nervous system dysfunction which could be aided by chiropractic treatment.

Ear Infections

Inner ear problems can be the result of problems with the immune and nervous system.

Wetting the bed

The bladder is controlled by the nervous system, and when this system is compromised children may have problems regulating the time that they relieve themselves, commonly during sleep. Chiropractic treatments have been shown to possibly aid in this process.

ADHD

Parents who would like to avoid drugs or other potentially damaging therapies for ADHD have sought out natural alternatives through chiropractic treatments. In many cases, correcting nervous system problems alleviate or eliminate ADHD symptoms.

Asthma

The respiratory system is regulated by the nervous system. In the event that this system is compromised, the lungs can benefit from having the problems righted as quickly as possible.

“Growing pains”

Growing pains as a term do not refer to any actual medical condition—that is to say, they don’t exist. Pain is an indication that something isn’t right, and it may have to do with the nervous system.

Scoliosis

Rather than utilizing braces or “waiting it out,” many patients have reported to have a reduction in pain after chiropractic treatments.

Wellness

A patient’s overall health and sense of well being can be improved after scheduling and attending a chiropractic treatment appointment. To learn more about how we might be able to assist you with this or any other issue, please feel welcomed to contact us today.
