Children and Chiropractic

Chiropractic care is safe, gentle, effective and can make a powerful impact a child’s overall wellness and immune function. Nerve interference can begin as early as the birth process. A child may experience multiple traumas that can lead to a misalignment or Subluxation of the vertebrae. Specific, gentle, spinal adjustments allow a child's spine and nervous system to grow and develop at its optimum potential. Dr. Jessica has had special training in adjusting children, each adjustment is specially adapted for your child's age, height, and weight.

*Most parents report that their children enjoy going to the chiropractor and look forward to getting adjusted. They also report a higher level of health and well being while under care.

Chiropractic
The nervous system controls every part of your body. Chiropractors examine the spine for misalignments or Subluxations. The correction of a Subluxation is an adjustment. When an adjustment is delivered by the chiropractor, there can be less nerve interference and the body can experience an optimal level of functioning.   When the nervous system operates at 100% the body’s systems like; circulatory, respiratory, digestive, hormonal, eliminative, and immune system also work at 100%.

Chiropractors do not cure or treat diseases or conditions. A chiropractor is a guide to help your body achieve a level of optimal health and function so that it works they way it was intended. Parents and children under chiropractic care report improvements with certain conditions. Though chiropractors only directly treat the spine, children under chiropractic care have had amazing improvements with the following problems:

  • ADHD/ADD
  • Allergies
