As many spinal problems seen in adults begin as early as birth, an increasing amount of parents are seeking chiropractic care for their children.

Since significant spinal trauma or cranial misalignment can occur during the birthing process, even with natural birthing methods, the resulting irritation to the nerve system can be the cause of many newborn medical health conditions, including:

Colic Breathing problems Nursing difficulties Sleep disturbances Allergic reactions Chronic infections

As the infant develops and learns how to hold their head up, sit, crawl and walk these natural activities all affect spinal alignment. As the child grows and begins to participate in regular childhood activities like running, swimming, riding a bike or climbing trees, small yet considerable spinal misalignments may occur. If neglected, injuries during this period of rapid growth may lead to physical and psychological inconveniences later in life.

Chiropractic adjustments are gentle and adapted to each individual child's weight, height, unique spinal condition and other medical conditions. The majority of parents agree that their children enjoy Chiropractic adjustments, look forward to subsequent visits and they experience a superior level of health whilst under Chiropractic care.

It is important to note that a Chiropractor does not treat conditions or diseases, they are experts in checking the child's spine for misalignments that impair nervous system function therefore affecting overall body function.
