Why Should Kids Get Adjusted?

Chiropractic care isn't just for adults. Children can benefit greatly from a chiropractic adjustment. At Advanced Family Chiropractic and Rehabilitation in Imperial, MO, our pediatric chiropractor can keep your children feeling their best.

Clear Neural Pathways

A healthy spine provides more than good posture. It also allows for proper neural flow. This is important for people of all ages, but it is key for children with developing brains. Clear neural pathways allow the nervous system to function properly as well, which is essential for optimal health.

Treatment for Common Childhood Ailments

Colic and earaches are common childhood problems. Chiropractic treatment can be the remedy you need to treat or prevent these problems. Case studies have determined that chiropractic adjustments can relieve the pain and symptoms of an ear infection. Studies have also found that adjustments can relieve the symptoms of colic in 94% of babies.

Natural Pain Relief

Pain can occur at any age. As a parent, it is very difficult to see your child suffering. Pain medications can have side effects, but pediatric chiropractic care offers natural pain relief. It is an effective treatment for pain in the muscles and joints, including what is known as "growing pains". It is also effective for back and neck pain in children.

Injury Prevention

If your child is active, you may worry about an injury occurring. Chiropractic care can be used to motivate the recovery process. It can also help prevent injuries because it allows the body to function properly. If the spine or joints are out of alignment, it increases the risk of injury, because the body has to compensate. Visiting a pediatric chiropractor can decrease the risk of injuries while helping your child to perform at his or her peak level.
