As a parent, you want your children to be happy and healthy. You may not realize it, but chiropractic care can help with both of those things. Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to improve mood, and there are a number of reasons why this is the case.
Chiropractic is a holistic health care approach focusing on the body’s musculoskeletal and nervous systems. Chiropractic care aims to reduce pain and improve function by restoring alignment and balance in the body.
Chiropractic can help to reduce stress. When the body is stressed, it produces a hormone called cortisol. Cortisol has been shown to have a negative impact on mood. By reducing stress, chiropractic care can help to reduce the amount of cortisol in the body and improve mood.
In addition, chiropractic can help to improve sleep. A good night’s sleep is essential for both physical and mental health. When you don’t get enough sleep, it can be challenging to focus and concentrate. It can also lead to irritability and mood swings. Chiropractic care can help to improve sleep quality, which can in turn help to improve mood.
Finally, regular visits to a chiropractor can help to improve overall health. When the body is healthy, it’s easier to maintain a positive mood. Chiropractic can help improve circulation, which helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to the cells. It can also help reduce inflammation, leading to better joint function and less pain. All of these things can contribute to a better mood.
How Chiropractic Care Benefits Infants and Babies
Chiropractic benefits people of all ages, including infants and babies. A growing body of research suggests that chiropractic care can help improve a child’s mood and overall sense of well-being.
Chiropractic care is safe and gentle, and it does not use drugs or surgery, which is important when kids are little.
How Chiropractic Benefits Teenagers
Chiropractic adjustments can also be beneficial for teenagers. A study of teenage girls found that those who received chiropractic adjustments had less pain and fewer symptoms of depression than those who did not receive care.
Teens who receive regular chiropractic are also associated with fewer missed days of school due to illness or injury.
Chiropractic is a safe and effective way to improve your child’s mood and overall sense of well-being, which is so important during the tumultuous teen years.
