A child's nervous system is the controller and regulator of all the other systems in their growing body. From blood flow, to brain function and bone growth, the nervous system plays a central role in keeping things working and healthy. Stress and vertebral joint restriction of the spine can have an impact on your child's overall health and development. We offer gentle and non-invasive therapy that works to correct underlying issues before they become hard-wired in during development, providing support for a pain-free and successful childhood.
It may be difficult to imagine that a child would need chiropractic care. They seldom complain of chronic pain the way adults do and their bodies appear to be made of rubber in the way they bounce back from injury. The truth are children's bodies are under a lot of stress while they are in a state of development and keeping them healthy requires maintenance.
As kids, they may start to develop bad posture. Sitting in front of a computer or TV can have serious repercussions on the spine. Playing contact sports, wearing heavy backpacks (most likely the wrong way), and even sitting in desks can all cause issues.
As you can see, there are plenty of opportunities throughout development for a child's body, and particularly their spine, for vertebral restrictions to occur which will affect other aspects of their healthy nervous system function and development.
