Chiropractic Care for Children and Infants
At Pure Light we specialize in creating a better quality of life for all people. This includes infants and children as well! A Chiropractic adjustment removes interference from your body’s nervous system and helps kids connect to their innate ability to heal.
Our nervous system develops the most in our first 6 years of life. Interference in this system prevents our children from developing optimally. The spine of a child can be compromised in many ways: the birth process, falls, learning to walk or crawl, unhealthy diet, childhood sports, even the way we change their diapers.
The good thing is that if you get your child checked on a regular basis, it is so much easier to correct their spinal misalignments at a young age instead of after they become older and have had the misalignments for years. I recommend getting your child checked every time they hit a milestone or anytime they are under new stresses (physical, chemical or emotional).
Adjusting an infant/child is much more gentle than adjusting an adult. Children’s spines are mostly made of cartilage instead of bone, so it takes much less force to adjust them. A spinal adjustment looks like a series of gentle taps on different parts of the spine. Depending on the age of the child and circumstance, most children do not mind or feel bothered by an adjustment.
Regular adjustments for children can help with colic, sleep, behavioral issues, allergies, bed wetting, ear infections and many other issues. Regular adjustments also increase the immune system which is vital to keeping our little ones healthy. If you want your child to thrive, bring him in to get an adjustment today!
