Pediatric Chiropractic at Vitality Chiropractic
People often wonder why infants and children need chiropractic care—it all goes back to the brain. The brain controls everything our bodies do, and children are growing and developing rapidly, so it’s important to keep the brain and nervous system working at optimal levels without interference.
Chiropractic care frees the spinal cord and nervous system from tension and pressure that can interfere with the brain’s communication with the body. When communication can flow freely, it helps kids grow, develop, and function at their highest levels.
Benefits of Care
One of the biggest benefits of a healthy nervous system is better immune function. Studies show that chiropractic care can improve immune system function by 200%. In addition, as kids get older, they’re learning to crawl, walk, run, and jump—and those activities often include falling on their tailbones and other bumps and bruises that can cause pressure on the nervous system and lead to bigger long-term problems if not addressed early on.
What to Expect
We want kids to come exactly as they are—our job is accommodating them, not the other way around! We’ll start with a consultation and talk with Mom or Dad (or the kiddo, if they’re old enough) about what’s happening and how we can serve. Then, we’ll conduct some age-appropriate assessments and move on to gentle adjustments.
Our goal is to make the visit fun and enjoyable for kids. We’ll adjust them while they’re playing or however they prefer. It’s our aim to help create a peaceful experience they enjoy—while we remove their nervous system interference.
With kids, we typically use very gentle Activator Methods® and Bio-Geometric Integration adjustments that don’t produce any popping or cracking, which can be scary for kiddos.
