Why should my children be adjusted by a chiropractor?

As a child grows from babyhood to their teenage years, they are exposed to constant physical challenges:

• Learning how to crawl, sit up, stand up, walk, and run
• Experiencing the falls, sprains, strains, concussions, and broken bones from bicycling, skateboarding, diving, ice-skating, surfing, skiing, horseback riding, and injuries related to team sports
• Habitual use of cell phones, tablets, and video games, causing poor body postures that develop over time

It’s important to be proactive and bring your children in to be checked as they’re navigating life and learning to adapt to its physical challenges. Growth is very rapid at this time, and the spine is frequently compromised.

Another challenge for today’s kids is that they often participate in sports year-round. There’s so much more required of their growing spines and far more stress put on the joints, ligaments, and muscles than in the past.

How do I know if my child needs chiropractic care or if my child’s spine is misaligned?

Here are some things for parents to look out for that may be indicative of spinal misalignment in their kids:

• Headaches, earaches
• Torticollis - limited range of motion in the neck
• Digestive issues- doesnt like tummy time
• Poor posture
• Symptoms of ADD or ADHD
• Signs of scoliosis
• Frequent injury or poor sports performance
• One or both feet being turned inward or outward
• Any kind of spinal or extremity joint pain

Is chiropractic care and adjusting safe for children?

Chiropractic care is safe for children and can often tackle the larger issue at hand more effectively than just medication. For example, for chronic ear infections, taking an antibiotic will kill the bacteria, but the larger issue is likely that the muscles around the Eustachian tube are spasming. Chiropractors like Drs. Cooper focus on figuring out why the muscles are spasming so that the problem goes away completely.

Dr. Charita has years of experience using techniques that are specially intended for children, with smaller contacts and thrusts that are more shallow and less forceful.

Drs. Cooper at Synergy Medical LLC love to serve families and children. Their office has a reputation in the Marysville area for excellent pediatric care. Call today and optimize your family’s wellness.
