3 Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Children

May 12, 2016 by Dr. Todd Goldman

Understanding How Children Can Benefit with Chiropractic Treatment

Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Children with Total ChiroChronic childhood diseases have recently been on the rise according to Pathways to Family Wellness magazine, prompting parents to seek alternative health care options.  One purpose of chiropractic care for children is to reduce stress and interference to the nervous system and to improve the immune system in a drug-free and noninvasive manner. Chiropractic care is both an effective and affordable way for licensed professionals like Dr. Todd Goldman to be able to address conditions of the nervous system and the musculoskeletal system.  Spinal problems in adults can be linked back to a time as early as birth, so it may be beneficial to have children under chiropractic care in the future. Listed below are three benefits of chiropractic care for children.

Treating Acute Conditions

It has been suggested by Jeanne Ohm, DC that the natural birthing process can cause spinal misalignment also known as subluxations which can result in causing the following complaints in babies: allergies, breathing problems, sleep disturbances, colic and chronic infections such as colds. As children begin to participate in normal childhood activities from early stages of holding their heads up, learning to sit then crawl and walk, to other activities like riding a bike, running or skating, they can suffer an injury to the spine and not even present any symptoms or immediate pain.

When any of the vertebrae or joints become misaligned as a result of any of these activities, the nerves and the muscle tissue are at risk of being affected.  Having the spine adjusted or manipulated may restore range of motion and can reduce nerve pressure. According to aica.com parents are happy to report success in treating common childhood complaints including earaches, upper respiratory infections, neck and other muscle pains with regular chiropractic care.

Relief for Chronic Conditions

Analysis by the ICPA shows that parents have been reporting significant improvement in their children’s’ behaviors, sleep patterns, and bolstered immune systems while under chiropractic care. According to the American Chiropractic Association, since 1991, the percentage of parents seeking chiropractic care for their children is up 8.5%.

Prevention of Bone and Spinal Ailments

Parents don’t often seek chiropractic treatment for children unless there is a specific problem present, but truth be told there is a world of prevention to be explored. Periodic and continuous chiropractic adjustments beginning as early as childhood can help reduce the chances of suffering the aforementioned ailments before they begin. Other benefits of regular spinal adjustments may delay the onset or even prevent degenerative bone and joint diseases such as osteoporosis or osteoarthritis.
