Children need Chiropractic?  Absolutely!

Infants

Can you think of anything more traumatic than being pushed through a birth canal? Even during C-sections, great forces can be placed on an infants body to facilitate birth. A simple exam, by a qualified Chiropractor, can quickly identify any issues that may require correction. Gentle, very low force techniques are applied to make the corrections. Chiropractic has been proven to have great efficacy in reducing problems in infants such as colic, and other chronic conditions.

Children

It seems children never run out of energy, they go all day long running, jumping, and playing hard.  All this physical activity puts stress on the body; this may lead to lowering a child’s resistance and open the door for many illnesses.

Spinal misalignment can cause a child to suffer from adult type problems, such as headaches, back pain, poor concentration, irritability, etc. For many, a simple, painless spinal exam will allow your Chiropractor to find, and treat any issues.

Chiropractic Care for children is much more than just spinal exams. Your Chiropractor can also examine and monitor the growth of your child’s body, address important nutritional needs, offer correct exercise programs, and help to prepare your child for a healthy adulthood.

Adolescents

Many changes are happening during this period, which can start from around 10 years of age. Persons in this catgegory are susceptible to a number of musculoskeletal conditions, i.e. scoliosis and Schuermann's disease, that can easily be identified, corrected and/or managed by a qualified professional.

Athletes

Those involved in athletics, of ALL ages, need regular Chiropractic care to keep their bodies functioning at an optimum level. The increased stress placed on the spine, joints, and extremeties can cause a number of issues that don't manifest themselves until an injury occurs. Besides injury prevention, think about performance optimization. Studies show that Chiropractic adjustment can increase muscle activity by up to 26%.

Seniors

This group requires some very special handling due to a number of health factors. Given the rates of osteoporosis, high blood pressure and atherosclerosis in the senior population, very low force techniques need to be employed in their care. This can be done by hand by experienced Chiropractors. Your Doctor may also choose to use an instrument, such as an Activator (r), for adjusting, based on the patients individual needs. Regular Chiropractic care for seniors can improve mobility of the spine, joints and extremeties, while reducing the pain, stiffness and discomfort during normal daily activities.
