Chiropractic Kids
Regardless of their age, a subluxation free nervous system gives your child the opportunity to be their very best!
Children Need Chiropractic Too!
Spinal traumas that occur at birth can set the stage for serious spinal problems later in life if left uncorrected.
When does a baby need a Spinal Check-up?
According to Chiropractic pediatric specialist, Larry Webster, D.C., there are 6 times in a baby's first year of life when spinal exams are especially important:
1. After the birth process
2. When the baby starts to hold his/her head up
3. When the baby sits up
4. When the baby starts to crawl
5. When the baby starts to stand
6. When the baby starts to walk
Chiropractic for mothers-to-be?
Absolutely! In fact, pregnant women benefit from chiropractic care more than any other population group-benefits that can include the baby as well.
Free of spinal subluxations, the mother-to-be experiences pregnancy at a greater level of comfort, health, and vitality and can better handle the stress of childbirth.
Since nearly all drugs and medications can cause fetal damage or malformations it is important for pregnant women to avoid them as much as possible. Chiropractic's drugless approach is another reason why it is valued during pregnancy.
How you take care of your body in infancy directly correlates to your health in adulthood.
Chiropractic care for children is different from that for adults. Tailored to their age and weight, their adjustments often require no more pressure than you'd use to test the ripeness of a tomato.
Just as regular dental exams detect and prevent tooth decay, regular chiropractic check-ups are one of the best ways to prevent spinal decay and teach your child the importance of good posture. The great news is the sooner spinal misalignments and curvatures are detected, the easier they are to correct.
