Chiropractic is a great option for children of all ages to help improve mood, sleep, posture, immune function, nervous system, and concentration. Adjustments on kids are safe, non-invasive, and use only gentle pressure to achieve optimal results. The adjustment for a child is significantly softer than an adult and dependent on their size and age.

Often there is a misconception that you should only have your child adjusted if they have a problem, but the birthing process is very rough, so they should be checked shortly after birth. This will help set them up with a good functioning nervous system for development. Every single cell in the body has a nervous system connection that comes from the spine. Those little spines can get moved all around during birth putting pressure on the nervous system causing certain issues in the body like constipation for example. These problems not dealt with early on often develop into larger issues later in life.

Other common issues that are related to spinal restrictions are recurrent ear infections, improper head movements leading to flat spots, reflux, and colic. All of these things and more are related to the fragile nervous system coming from a developing spine. Getting your child adjusted regularly reduces or eliminates many of these issues and leads to a healthier life.
