A chiropractic adjustment refers to applying pressure to misaligned joints to relieve pain and restore a normal range of motion. Often associated with treating back pain, chiropractic adjustment can also be effective for various other musculoskeletal conditions. Our experienced pediatric chiropractor at Advanced Family Chiropractic and Rehabilitation in Imperial, MO, can provide the following benefits to your kids.

Enhance Breastfeeding

Your child’s nervous system controls all body functions, including breastfeeding. A misaligned spine can pressure the nerves that control breast milk production, leading to decreased milk supply. Chiropractic adjustment can help relieve this pressure and restore normal nerve function, allowing your child to breastfeed more effectively.

Improve Digestion

Digestion is another function controlled by the nervous system. If your child is experiencing constipation, diarrhea, or acid reflux, a chiropractic adjustment may help you. Adjustments can relieve pressure on the nerves that control digestion and restore normal function. This adjustment may improve your digestion and overall health.

Treat Ear Infections

Ear infections are a common childhood ailment but can be painful and challenging to treat. However, some research has shown that chiropractic adjustment may be an effective treatment for ear infections. Adjustments can help relieve pressure on the nerves that control the Eustachian tubes, which can help reduce inflammation and fluid build-up that leads to ear infections.

Reduce Inflammation

Chiropractic adjustment can reduce inflammation throughout the body. It's because adjustments release endorphins, which are natural painkillers that also have anti-inflammatory properties. However, you must ensure that a qualified and experienced practitioner performs the adjustment to avoid further injury.
