Children Can Heal & Adapt More Effectively with Chiropractic
Chiropractic care only began for me at the age of twenty-one and it changed my life in many ways, as my mind and whole body seemed to function better in ways I didn’t expect. My concentration sharpened, memory improved, and my immune system became more resilient. Also, I was then able to drive for more than an hour without back pain and proper posture became more comfortable. And I simply felt better overall: more centered, balanced, and in-tune with my body's needs. My growing years could have been better if I had been to a chiropractor when I was a kid. I'm convinced that many "childhood illnesses" would have been prevented or resolved quicker.
At that time, my parents had not even heard of a chiropractor, so the option of taking us to one to make sure our nervous system was functioning properly was never considered. This hasn't changed even today for most parents. However, many parents are seeking a more natural approach to helping their kids. I have seen many childhood ailments often resolve quickly with chiropractic care, including ear infections, infantile colic, breathing difficulties, bed-wetting, reflux, constipation, and even persistent warts.
Many studies have also shown positive outcomes with various conditions (see links below), but chiropractic is merely a means of improving the function of the brain and nervous system, to allow the child’s inner doctor to do what it knows best. So it is essential that all children be checked at least once a year, and more often if they have any trauma or illnesses that are not resolving quickly. A well-adjusted child can enjoy growing up to be a balanced and content adult.
