These stresses can cause damage to the spine, and nervous system resulting in imbalances and misalignments of the spine.  Misalignments of the spine are called subluxations.  Subluxations interfere with the messages the brain and nervous system send out to the body to control its function.  Interference to these vital nerve messages affects our development and ultimately our health.

The Chiropractic techniques used on new borns and toddlers are very different to those used on a teenager or adult. Often, only very light fingertip pressure is applied to the little ones spine, or a device called an Activator is used to help adjust the babies spine.

HOW CAN CHIROPRACTIC HELP YOUR BABY OR CHILD?

Many of the patients Chiropractors see are either babies, children or pregnant mothers. Some may come in with certain symptoms such as Colic, Reflux, Sleeping or Feeding Problems, Digestive Problems, Ear Infections, Poor Immunity, Behavioural Problems such as ADHD, Asthma and Postural Imbalances. However, the majority of the children and infants coming in are for maintenance adjustments. Meaning that their parents understand the importance of a healthy spine and nervous system and also a balanced posture.

Just as you will have your children's teeth checked as they grow, correct development throughout our childhood years sets the stage for health later on in life.  To ensure your children grow and develop to reach their full potential, care for your kids and have your child’s spine checked for any subluxations.  Don’t let your child grow up to develop the problems you have as an adult.
