Childrens Wellness

Why does your child need Chiropractic Care?

Children at a Chiropractor’s Office? How many times has your child been for a check up for their teeth, eyes and ears etc? But, when it comes to a spinal check most parents don’t think it is necessary.

Chiropractic recognizes that even relatively minor incidents can upset the very delicate biomechanical balance of the spine and nervous system. This can interfere with a child’s developing Brain and Central Nervous System, which is responsible for the coordination of all the body’s functions-every cell and organ is under their control.

Spinal injury can begin from the forces and stresses of birth, especially if forceps, cesarean or suction is used, and the daily stress from falls and tumbles may upset the normal mechanics of the child’s body, add to this the stress caused by sport and other lifestyle activities, and its no wonder their systems can become unbalanced and unable to cope.

Children, because they are flexible may not develop pain like us oldies, but when their nervous system is irritated they don’t have proper control over their bodies.

Some common complaints amongst children which can be caused from this are colic, bed wetting, asthma, scoliosis, ear infections, tummy aches, tonsillitis and even behavioural problems. Please see our testimonials page for further information on how we have helped children.
