A child's nervous system is the regulator of ALL the other systems in their bodies. From brain function, to bone growth and blood flow, the nervous system plays an important role in keeping things healthy. When a child experiences stress and vertebrae misalignment, the spine can have serious impacts on a childs development and health. Blakely Chiropractic offers a gentle and non-invasive therapy that works miracles in treating underlying conditions that will help correct any issues that could stunt your childs development.
Pediatric Chiropractic Care
It's hard to imagine that a child would need chiropractic care. They very rarely complain of chronic pain the way adults do, and sometimes it looks like their bodies are made of rubber the way they bounce back from injuries. But the truth is, a child's body is under a lot of stress while they are in the development stage, and keeping them healthy requires maintenance.
During the birthing process, stress and trauma to the body and spine can start at this point. Infants spines can easily become misaligned from the intense pressure involved in both natural and c-section births. Besides crying, infants have no other way of communicating their pains. While growing up through the infancy stage, their bodies sleep in awkward positions and as they begin to walk, tumbles and spills will happen. As the development stage continues, children will become more active on playgrounds and activities that will also put more stress on their growing bodies.
Kids start to develop bad posture at an early stage. Whether sitting in front of a computer, playing games on a phone can have serious repercussions on the spine. As they continue to play sports and wear heavy backpacks, as wlel as sitting at desks, these can all cause issues. Stress starts to play a role as teenagers when the responsibilities become greater.
As you can clearly see, there are plenty of opportunities throughout development for a childs spine to start having some minor issues that can compound over the course of time. WIth a proper spinal alignment, their bodies will be able to grow in to healthy and strong adults!
