When it comes to raising children, it’s impossible to know everything. As parents, we set up those vital first appointments with the pediatrician, we buy and read books, talk to our family and friends and take in all the advice we can. Being parents, we are often at the disadvantage of not being able to see what ails our little ones, and this is where regular pediatric chiropractic care steps in to make your life easier.
Proper chiropractic care for children, even as young as infants, could actually be a parent’s secret weapon against sleepless nights, colic, bed-wetting, and other common childhood issues which can often be hard to resolve.
Knapp Chiropractic Takes a Holistic Approach to Treat Your Child.
You might be coming because you’ve noticed your child limping, or perhaps they’ve complained about pain in their back. As your chiropractor, we can assess for any injury or problems with body mechanics, treating misalignments in children, just like in adults, can also improve issues that might seem unrelated like indigestion or reflux.
The truth is that a pediatric chiropractor can be the key to good overall health and wellness of your child.
Kids developing brains send messages down the spinal cord through the nervous system feeding information to every cell, organ, structure, and system within the body. Children often struggle with chronic earaches, bedwetting, or problems with sleeping which could be the result of interruptions in the delivery of information due to a misalignment.
Regular visits to see us in our Brookfield office can aid in proper spinal alignment and contribute to improving their health and development.
Teens and Chiropractic Care
Once more commonly seen in teens, many children are experiencing structural issues with pain in their necks, wrists, hands, and upper back. Spending longer hours performing online learning, or using their cell phones or tablets, are common childhood medical issues that continual pediatric chiropractic care can help naturally treat.
Improving a child’s nervous system will help balance their overuse of tech devices, and it can also contribute to their athletic efforts. A properly functioning nervous system can help increase performance in sports, as well as treat any game-related injuries.
Chiropractic is especially key for children who are baseball and softball pitchers, regular chiropractic care can help ensure their good arm shoulder health and prolong their career. Chiropractic adjustments stimulate the nervous system helping it function properly but also increase spinal and muscle movement.
