Why Kids need Chiropractic Care?
A lot of times, I get this question asked: Why do kids or babies need chiropractic care? And the answer is very simple because they have a Nervous System, we all do.
We often have the wrong idea that chiropractic care is for lower back pain, neck pain or headaches. I am here to tell you that your nervous system is more than that. The very first adjustment done wasn’t for lower back pain or to decrease any pain, it was done to improve the function of the nervous system.
Our nervous system is the first thing that is formed in the womb, and we need to take care of it. We don’t wait until we don’t have teeth to go to the dentist, this is why we don’t have to wait until we can’t walk to go to the chiropractor. The only difference is that you can have new teeth made but we can’t regenerate our spine as needed.
Subluxation (this is also called nerve interference, is what you get adjusted in your chiropractic visit), can be formed since we are in our mom’s belly. There are different ways that subluxation can happen.
- Toxins- what we put, or we allow to put inside our bodies during our life and when we are pregnant.
- Thoughts- Our emotional aspect, often known as stress or emotional stress.
- Trauma- this can be falls, accidents, repetitive motion or the birth process.
We are not perfect, and we don’t thrive in seeking perfection but yes we can prevent some of the most common childhood diseases by finding and correcting the subluxations early on in life.
The following are some of the most common childhood diseases that can be prevented by having regular chiropractic care: constipation, colic, breastfeeding issues, attention problems, ADD, ADHS, milestones challenges, ear infections, sleeping problems, toe walking.
I hear often, “I wish I knew this when my kids were little”.
Well chiropractors have been explaining this for the last 129 years, I think is time to start listening.
The role of chiropractic is to prevent symptoms and diseases by having a wellness lifestyle. Instead of having to give recurrent antibiotics to help with ear infections why we don’t focus on preventing it with chiropractic care? Instead of having to give laxatives daily to help with constipation, why we don’t correct the nerve interference that is not allowing the body to function optimally? Instead of having to give stimulants to help focus with ADD/ADHD, why we don’t try to ease the body by having a chiropractic and wellness lifestyle?
I hope this helps anyone that is looking for answers as to why children need chiropractic care. My mission is always to help and to spread the chiropractic message and how it can help grow healthy children and adults. Chiropractic care transformed my life and my hope is that it does the same for you and your family.
