CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR KIDS

The Benefits Of Chiropractic Care For Kids

The nervous system is closely connected to how the body generates a strong cellular immune response, targeted chiropractic care can effectively support your child in managing many common short-term pediatric illnesses.

While a Doctor of Chiropractic doesn't treat or cure illnesses, many common childhood disorders may be the result of nervous system interference caused by spine related problems, such as:

• Bedwetting

• Allergies

• Asthma

• Constipation

• Ear Infections

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

-Benjamin Franklin

This is why at SeaCoast Clinic our priority is on well-child care to assess age-appropriate functionality to:

• Promote optimal growth, movement, and functional health.

• Detect health problems early on, before they cause other issues and when they’re easier to treat and achieve the best possible outcomes.

• Identify and treat the root cause of problems, if nerve interference is detected.

Why Chiropractic and Wellness Care Matters

At SeaCoast Clinic, we believe that lifelong health begins early, and supporting wellness through every stage of life promotes optimal growth, movement, and vitality.

During the first few years of life, children will develop from infants into fearless adventurers. Bumps and falls naturally come with your child's desire to explore their surroundings. However, these bumps and falls cause trauma to the spine. Many of the chronic spine cases we see in adulthood originate from injuries sustained in their childhood and adolescent years.

Your Child's Developing Spine

There are three windows of time in which your child's spine will go through major stages of development.

The first of these is birth through age five. This is definitely the most critical time since it is during this period that the child also has the most minor traumas and repetitive stress injuries to the spine.

The Second window of development is five years to ten years of age. During this time your child will begin school and spend recess climbing on monkey bars, sliding down slides, playing organized sports and generally leaving themselves open to repeated falls and tumbles resulting in their own spinal injuries.

Finally, at age ten to fifteen-years-old, your child's spine will go through its last stage of development. During this final stage, your child's spinal growth will be greatly affected by most if not all of the following:

• Poor posture

• An inactive or sedentary lifestyle

• Repetitive sports movements

• Sports injuries
