Chiropractors tend to look at the whole person when they come in to be treated. They do not simply attempt to fix the symptoms of a problem. They improve nervous system integrity, work to reduce causes of nerve interference, and promote proper bodily function. This all works together to treat the patient as a whole and allow their body to work properly in order to be restored to maximum health. Our bodies rely heavily on our central nervous system and if that is being compromised by a misalignment, it can cause a number of issues.
As children are growing and changing so quickly, it is especially important that they receive chiropractic care regularly.
1. Children are Constantly Growing
When children are aligned, they can grow the way they’re supposed to, with no extra pressure on certain bones or muscles.
2. Immune Support
Regular care allows the body to be in top shape and allows the immune system to work most effectively. Children have immature immune systems and ensuring they are working the best they can is important.
3. Sick Care
When your child is sick with something like a sinus infection, an adjustment can assist in draining fluid. Also, being properly align allows the immune system to work more effectively to get your child better more quickly.
4. Children Fall, Jump, and Play Hard
Regular adjustments are important for this reason. A 10 month old is pulling himself along the furniture and as he is learning about balance and gravity, he tends to have some tumbles. Getting regular adjustments helps to ensure he is not harming himself and that he can use his body to its full potential.
5. Better Sleep
When your child’s body is aligned properly, he will have a better night’s sleep and so will you. An adjustment will ensure your baby does not have any pain or tension that he is unable to tell you about.
6. Help with Colic
“Birth trauma, even from so-called “natural” birthing experiences can often produce a child’s first nerve compromise. Lacking the ability to communicate, your baby cries. And cries.” Chiropractic care can fix this nerve compromise and allow your baby to be much happier.
7. Better Concentration and Fewer Behavioral Issues
When a child is misaligned, they have more tension on their nervous system. For some, this creates concentration and behavioral issues. An adjustment may help your child in this area.
8. Help with Asthma and Breathing Issues
Chiropractic care can reduce any pinched or misaligned nerves that are affecting the bronchial tubes, lungs, and diaphragm. This can help to reduce asthma issues in a patient.
9. Higher Breastfeeding Success
When babies are born, they can go through trauma during the birth. If their necks and shoulders are misaligned, this can cause pain for them when attempting to breastfeed. Some women can only feed baby successfully on one side, and others cannot feed their babies at all. Ensuring proper alignment will increase your chances for breastfeeding success.
10. Help with Digestive Issues
When a baby starts to eat solid foods, he/she sometimes stops pooping regularly. A chiropractor can do a minor adjustment to help him/her poop!
