child receiving an adjustmentChiropractic care has many benefits for our physical and neurological health. Regular treatment can treat recurring health issues and keep the body’s systems functioning properly to improve overall quality of life.

People of all ages can benefit from chiropractic care, including infants and adolescents! According to the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners, approximately 17 percent of chiropractic patients in the United States are under the age of 18.

In the first several years of life, a child’s spine grows rapidly. During this time, a chiropractor can identify and address any muscle issues or chronic pain to keep the spine aligned.

While some parents might be hesitant about their children starting treatment at an early age, regular chiropractic care can help ensure good physical development.

About Pediatric Adjustments

During a child’s growing years, accidents are inevitable. You can expect your child to get the occasional bump or bruise while playing but it’s important for serious injuries to be treated, otherwise spinal health could become compromised.

Subluxations, or spinal misalignments, can prevent proper communication from the brain to other parts of the body. This undue stress on the spine and nervous system can lead to decreased function in the affected area and force other body parts to compensate. If the issue is not resolved, the spine will continue to grow “crooked” and could cause additional health challenges later in life.

Chiropractic adjustments for children are designed with the growing body in mind to help improve sleep, mood and immune function. Our treatments encourage proper nerve and brain development, with the goal of preventing neurological disorders like attention-deficit, hyperactivity and other learning disabilities. Additionally, adjustments can address:

  • Allergies
  • Asthma
  • Colic
  • Ear aches
  • Sleep troubles
  • Bed wetting
  • Headaches
  • Digestive problems
 

A spinal deformity that affects children, scoliosis bends the vertebrae so far out of position that an abnormal curve forms. When a chiropractor can address this issue early, scoliosis can be corrected and related spinal ailments prevented.
 
Chiropractic care can help prevent the onset of future health problems for your child. To schedule an appointment, contact The Chiropractic Health Center of Glastonbury today!

Nichole C.
"I strained my lower back a month prior to an Ironman race. I was unable to sleep, walk or sit, never mind continue training as planned. The entire office staff is beyond kind, caring, professional and runs extremely smooth. I was explained every step and procedure, along with a patient education class that really helped me understand what was wrong with my back and steps to fix it. Dr Wade was able to get me sleeping, walking and able to compete in my triathlon. 5 stars for many reasons and would highly recommend."
