Why Seek Chiropractic Care For Your Child
At an early age, children’s neural development is exploding with possibilities!
A child’s brain adapts and develops at its highest rate between birth and 2 years and doesn’t slow until age 16. During this time, the brain and nervous system is strongly influenced by all the experiences and “input” from the world.
We often think about how to grow children’s minds with experiences, but seldom think of how the whole of the nervous system (of which the brain is a part) is influenced and grown as children experience the world, but early sensory experiences have an enormous impact on lifelong health, learning and behavior!
Ensuring that a nervous system is free from negative interference during this early stage of development enhances appropriate sympathetic nervous system development and optimizes health and the body’s ability to adapt to stress, and that is where chiropractic care comes in.

What Does a Chiropractic Adjustment Look Like for A Little One?
Chiropractic adjustments on kids are safe, non-invasive, and use only light and gentle pressure to achieve great results.
Many parents comment that an adjustment looks like a gentle touch or massage, but it is a specifically targeted procedure. On bigger kids we can incorporate fun activities into their exams and adjustments, such as jumping, dancing and other games.
