Pediatric development

The legacy we leave depends on the health of ourselves and our children. Any informed healthcare provider knows that many spinal problems seen in adults began in childhood as early as birth. Even natural birthing methods can stress an infant’s spine and developing nerve system. The resulting pressure to the nervous system caused by spinal misalignments can be the cause of many newborn health conditions. For example colic, breathing problems, nursing difficulties, sleep disturbances, allergic reactions, and chronic infections can often be traced to nerve system stress. As the child begins to participate in regular childhood activities like running, jumping, or riding a bike, small yet significant spinal misalignments may occur. If neglected, the injuries during this period of rapid growth may lead to more spinal dysfunction later in life. We believe it’s better to grow healthy children than to fix injured adults.

The Chiropractic care that we provide is an effective and affordable journey that addresses children’s health conditions associated with the musculoskeletal system and nerve supply. Gentle, non-invasive and drug-free, Gonstead chiropractic adjustments help and prevent a wide range of health issues. Recent research by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) found spinal adjustments are safe and beneficial in caring for children of all ages.
