WHAT IS PEDIATRIC CHIROPRACTIC CARE?

Chiropractic is a healthcare discipline that emphasizes the inherent recuperative power of the body to heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery. The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.

Chiropractic care is avilable in our two locations: Debary, FL and New Smyrna Beach, FL.

Birth is unavoidably stressful for your little one, which alone can cause a disturbance in the nervous system. Because of this, newborns are especially susceptible to spinal misalignment and stress on the nerves. This may not be apparent initially, but if left uncorrected, it could cause problems in the years to come.

When your child’s body is stressed in any way, normal spinal alignment may be lost, and growth and development may be altered. This may show up in many forms, such as scoliosis, pain, asthma, or a digestive disorder. To ensure that your child’s body is functioning properly, it is best to have their spine checked as a normal part of postnatal care with the mom.

If your kids have not yet been checked, please schedule a screening for your next visit.

Common Childhood Trauma Can Affect the Spine

Although bumps, falls and wrestling matches are often what comes to mind with our kids when we think of physical stress, actual physical stressors start much earlier. Most commonly, research finds stressors to children’s’ health as starting as early as during the prenatal or birth process.

In addition to physical stressors, our kids live in a busier, more complex generation than we did. Schedules are packed, social media is everywhere, and food quality isn’t what it used to be. Simply put, we have more coming from every direction, and all combined, it can be overwhelming!

The more ‘stressors’ that build up, the harder it is for our bodies to adapt and overcome, leaving our kids’ nervous system to get stuck on the gas pedal.

Chiropractic treatments are adapted to the frame and developmental stages of children. Chiropractic adjustments for young children’s spine and peripheral joints are often performed using only the fingertips, with very light pressure. Chiropractic care is safe for children and does not involve any painful or uncomfortable treatments.

Because we are an evidence-based practice, we encourage you to read the research showing how chiropractic care can help your child. Our goal is to help you be as informed as possible so that you can make an educated decision about your child’s health.
