Most people are surprised when they hear that children, and even babies are candidates for chiropractic care. While it is important that you choose a chiropractor who is trained in the care of infants and children, there are countless benefits!

From the day children are born, there are external stressors placed on them in the form of;

• physical stress (womb position, birth, car seats, infant devices, bumps and falls, iPads and electronics, etc…)

• chemical stress (air pollution, household & hygiene products, food & water contaminants, etc…)

• emotional stress (busy lifestyle, perfectionism, etc…)

These external stressors lead to something we refer to as subluxations in the spine; which are subtle shifts in the spine that interfere with the function of our nervous system.

Since the nervous system controls and coordinates everything in the body, including growth, development and healing - shouldn’t we make sure this system is working properly?! It is especially important from a young age as most of our growth and development happens from birth to age 7.

We, and chiropractors around the world, have seen improvement in these conditions with chiropractic;

• infantile colic + reflux

• childhood ear infections

• breastfeeding & latching challenges

• constipation & other digestive issues

• sleep difficulties

• sensory processing, ADHD & other behavioral issues

• reoccurring sickness & immune system troubles

• delayed development

• plagiocephaly / flat distorted head shape

It is important to note however, that chiropractic does not treat these conditions.

Chiropractic adjustments simply aim to address spinal misalignments that may be interfering with our body’s communication system (the nervous system). By addressing spinal misalignments and restoring proper function of the nervous system, the body functions better - as it was designed to!
