Chiropractic treatment for children

Child being treatedThe birth process may be one of the most traumatic events of our lives.

Remember, when we are born we have very weak muscles so if the spine is pulled, especially by a forceps or ventouse (vacuum suction) delivery it is likely that the spinal joints may be strained and malpositioned.

Our children thrive and develop by transmitting signals along their nerves to every cell, tissue and organ of the body.

If the nerve supply is disrupted by a malpositioned spinal joint the child cannot develop. Common newborn health complaints treated by chiropractors are colic, unexplained crying, poor appetite, breathing problems and allergic reactions.

Chiropractic adjusting techniques are modified to fit a child's size, weight and unique spinal problem. Parents often report that their children seem healthier than others of their age.
