Helping kids grow healthy and strong during their formative years sets them up for a lifetime of proper healing without the need for drugs or surgery. Aside from visiting us regularly from the time children are born for checkups to ensure proper spinal alignment, a great time to bring them in is when they’re going through a growth spurt.
Why?
The brain and nervous system run the show. Sometimes, during a period of rapid growth, misalignments can happen and impair function within your child’s body. This can show up as symptoms like leg pain, trouble sleeping, or simply not feeling like they’re rested.
When we see a child in the practice, we start by getting to know them and their health history, and always aim to make the visit a fun, safe, and gentle atmosphere that kids love. After pinpointing where the problem lies in their nervous system, we’ll perform a specific gentle adjustment —in fact, some kids don’t even realize they’re being adjusted—it’s that gentle and specific to help ease the stress on their nerve system to allow them to function at their best.
Success Stories
We’ve helped children of all ages and stages thrive! Here are a couple of our favorite moments with children.
We recently had a child with down syndrome who had been under many therapies, like speech and occupational to help them function better in their day to day life. After bringing the child into the practice for focused adjustments, their mother noticed a major progression in the child’s function that she had never seen before!
Another great moment was when we began working with a 12-year-old who came in for foot and low back pain. After doing an evaluation and offering a custom care plan, his mother began noticing he had more energy, improved sleep, and overall seemed like a much happier kid. It was entirely unexpected for them—but not for us!
