A question many new parents ask is whether they should take their baby to see a chiropractor or other manual therapist. But babies don’t have back pain do they? So why might a chiropractor help a baby? Well, the answer is really simple.
Chiropractic for Children
It is well known that many Chiropractor’s see both adults and children.
At Young Chiropractic we have a special place in our hearts for the wellbeing of our families and that includes the kids too!
While kids are often robust and can recover quickly from slips, bumps and falls, there are times when you might notice that your child is not bouncing back as well as they usually do!
It is common that parents will get their kids checked when they notice that their child has:
- Fatigue
- Irritability
- Poor immunity
- Poor sleep
- Ear aches
- Head tilts
- Abnormal head shape
- Tongue and lip ties
- Poor posture
- Neck and back pain
- Leg pains
Why is this important?
Well when the spine and nervous system are out of alignment, it can have an impact on normal body function, and affect growth and development. More often than not, children will not complain of pain when they have a problem. Children often manifest other symptoms which can be related to dysregulation of the spine and nervous system.
How do you know they have a problem? Our chiropractors are trained and experienced in paediatric chiropractic care and have the skills to help your child experience the benefits of chiropractic including :
- Improved mobility
- Improved sleep
- Improved posture
- Supporting the immune system
- Supporting optimal growth and development
