Mistakenly believed to be merely "back doctors" for adults, chiropractors have always realized the benefit children receive from chiropractic care. The spine is the container for the entire spinal cord and nerves transmitting the messages from the brain to the rest of the body. Vertebral subluxations interfere with the transmission of these messages. Chiropractors are the only health care providers who specialize in locating, correcting and preventing subluxations. This is especially important as childhood illnesses and disease are amongst the fastest growing problems in our country.
Children are adjusted differently than adults. Adjusting children is both safe and effective. Though chiropractic does not treat specific conditions, the improved immune system function that results in children is effective against ear infections, allergies, asthma and bed wetting that emerged when a subluxation interrupted communication between the brain and the body.
These pediatric chiropractors are trained to adjust children, even shortly after birth, such that it may take only one, two or three adjustments to remove subluxations and dramatically affect the future health of the child. For these reasons more and more concerned parents are seeking chiropractic care to improve and protect their children's health and well being.
