Children and Chiropractic

The first trauma in life for many people is the birth process itself.  Squeezing through a small opening and at times being pulled or twisted by the head and neck to assist the process can stress the delicate nerves and muscles of an infants’ spine.  As the child progresses to lift their head, crawl, sit, stand, and walk, different stresses are placed on their bodies.  These milestones are often accompanied by bumps and falls as we learn to navigate our world.  Through all of this, a Childs’ spine and nervous system can be stressed and misalignments can form which will interfere with normal development.

Early spinal checkups can help prevent future problems before they even have a chance to develop.  Chiropractic care helps optimize function in the spine and nervous system using gentle and safe adjustments.
