Kids chiropractic
One of the main shifts in health care is the movement away from crisis care and toward prevention, performance and optimization. A term you will be hearing a lot in the near future is "wellness care". When you begin to understand the term "wellness" you will realize that kids become an obvious choice of focus in a wellness care paradigm. Kids are the most pure expression of life and represent our future. Why not work towards keeping them clear?
Children go through so many changes as they grow and expand and evolve. At 3 weeks post conception, the nervous system is formed and it directs the flow of information from this point forward. It is at the helm of all life processes, therefore it is very important to create as much clarity and support as possible within the nervous system, especially in the growing child.
Research has shown that one of the worst interferences to the nervous system is a vertebral subluxation, which results in tension being stored in the nervous system. Subluxations may occur very early in life and in fact, one of the most traumatic things to the spine is the birth process. Especially in a difficult delivery, the trauma to the cervical bones can be dramatic.
The research regarding the effect of chiropractic care on kids is amazing. A 1989 study which compared 200 children who had seen pediatricians with 200 children who had been under chiropractic care showed that the health of the children who had seen chiropractors was notably superior to that of children brought up under standard medical care. The chiropractic children, for example, had fewer ear infections, allergies, and cases of tonsillitis, and therefore required less medicine.
Chiropractic has been shown through research to be an excellent choice for wellness care for adults and children. Your children deserve to have their full potential realized as they grow and chiropractic care is a very important part of achieving this potential.
