Chiropractic Care for Children
Raising them up well
Chiropractic care is important for babies and children, too! The birthing process is very traumatic, which is why we love checking babies for misalignments even just a few days after birth. And guess what! It’s as gentle as testing the ripeness of a tomato - some babies even sleep through it!
As children grow and develop they are experiencing stressors on their bodies. Many stressors come from the falls and tumbles they experience while learning to crawl, walk, or simply during growth spurts. Maintaining alignment of the spine during these developmental years helps their bodies maintain optimal nervous system function which can help improve behavior, sleep, their immune system, and many other health concerns!
