Little & Big Kids

All developing bodies need support. From the moment you bring your child into this world, their body starts to perceive everything around them through their nervous system. The birthing process, learning to sit, crawling, standing, walking, falling and even just playing can all be causes of subluxations in the spine which may make it harder for your child to thrive. Regular chiropractic care can help to ensure the nervous system is functioning to support proper development and growth through these important early years. Little ones with balanced nervous systems and spines experience far less ear infections, better sleep, easier bowel movements, are calmer and reach milestones in the appropriate time frames. Some of the common symptoms that parents bring their littles in to see our chiropractors for are:
-
Ear infections
-
Colic
-
Sleep disturbances
-
Tilted head position/ mis-shaped head
-
Difficulty breathing/ asthma
-
Constipation or diarrhea
-
Developmental milestone delay
-
Eczema
-
ADHD/ ADD
BIG KIDS
Children of all ages can all benefit from chiropractic care. Irritation
to a young person’s spine & nervous system can begin at a young age
with bumps to the head, falls to the ground and/or sports injuries.
In addition to physical stressors, our kids live in a more stressful world
than ever before. Busier schedules, poor food choices, increased stress
at school, and social media can all add to the overall stress load our kids
are experiencing. The more ‘stressors’ that build up, the harder it is for
their bodies to adapt and overcome the challenges they face. When things
add up, an overwhelmed nervous system may present as:
- Headaches
- Growing pains
- Difficulty sleeping
- Bed-wetting
- Difficulty concentrating and staying focused
- Sensory problems
- Stomach aches, heartburn, or indigestion
- Sports injuries
- Weakened immunity
- Asthma
- Allergies
Specific and gentle chiropractic care can remove stress from the
nervous system and spine. When the brain and body communicates
well, kids can adapt and thrive in their surroundings.
