Chiropractic treatment may offer numerous advantages to these young patients including improved posture, reduced back pain and anxiety relief as well as helping their digestive issues and strengthening immunity so they are better equipped to fend off viruses or illnesses.
Chiropractic adjustments for babies and children are safe. Our Port St Lucie Chiropractors specialize in using gentle pressure to restore proper alignment without creating that unsettling popping noise that adults typically experience when receiving chiropractic adjustments.
Children, particularly newborns and infants, can experience significant levels of birthing stress that can result in neck and back problems causing discomfort. Chiropractors offer effective solutions to alleviate such discomfort and restore normal function.
By using gentle spinal manipulation techniques chiropractors facilitate brain-body communication and ensure a healthier spine and as a result a healthier nervous system for your children. Misalignments in the spine can lead to pain, coordination issues, and decreased immunity as they grow into adults so correcting these issues can be very beneficial.
DIGESTION
Correcting spinal misalignments through chiropractic adjustments can fix misalignments that interfere with nerves that control digestion and cause stomach issues like reflux, bloating and constipation. Chiropractic can play an essential role in supporting a strong immune system by relieving stress off of areas of pressure in your spine that lead to subluxation or misalignments which in turn interfere with nerves responsible for digestive functions. Even though kids cannot always express how they’re feeling, a chiropractor will be able to identify any digestive problems causing discomfort to your child and restore normal function through spinal adjustments to his/her nervous and digestive system – helping minimize acid reflux, IBS symptoms, constipation or other digestive disorders.
SLEEP
If a spinal misalignment is causing discomfort, chiropractic adjustments can help your child’s nervous system, so they can rest easier at night and enjoy uninterrupted restorative sleep. Sleep is essential to the proper physical and emotional development of healthy children.
SPORTS INJURIES
When children engage in sports and other activities, this may lead to bumps, bruises and other minor injuries that need immediate attention. Chiropractors specialize in recognizing these micro traumas early so that any long-term health concerns don’t develop in later years. Chiropractors can help prevent future issues by correcting your child’s posture.
