Chiropractic And Kids: When Should I Take My Child To The Chiropractor in Tempe AZ

Chiropractic Tempe AZ Chiropractic And Kids When Should They Go

You have probably heard at some point another parent’s amazing story of how Chiropractic helped their child with their ear infections, colic, irregular sleep patterns, asthma, or any number of other conditions. You probably also thought, “How can getting your spine adjusted can help with any of that?" Well, you’re not alone. While it seems abstract that treating the spine can help with such a wide array of common pediatric problems, there are a number of common underlying issues with these conditions that may explain the dramatic effect that Chiropractic care in Tempe AZ has on children.


Nervous System Stress in Tempe AZ

If you go back to my article on the effects of stress on your nervous system, you’ll recall that when the sympathetic, or “fight or flight”, nervous system is overstimulated, your body is not in its prime healing state. When children have irritation in their spines, their nervous system is going to go into its survival mode and out of its prime state of healing. When your child’s fight or flight reflex kicks on, this can create a number of different problems for them including many of the common ailments parents see their Chiropractor for.


Chiropractic Adjustments for Kids

Anyone who has seen a high-velocity adjustment performed on an adult may cringe at the idea that children can receive Chiropractic care. Kids have very different spines than adults with different properties (their spines have much more cartilage which is soft, like your ear), thus the adjustments they receive don’t look like the adjustments you may be used to. Many different techniques have evolved to treat the spines of little ones, all using very safe and gentle movements to restore proper motion to your child’s spinal bones.


When To Bring Your Child To The Chiropractor’s Office

Chiropractic care can be effective in treating and preventing a number of different conditions. Here are a few reasons you may want to bring your child to see a Chiropractor:

  • Ear Aches
  • Colic
  • Asthma or Breathing Difficulties
  • Trouble Sleeping
  • Bed-wetting
  • Mild Cold/Flu
  • Digestive Issues
  • Scoliosis
  • Prevention and Overall Healthy Development

Summary

Chiropractic care is a safe and effective drug-free approach to maintaining your child’s well-being, assisting with common pediatric problems, and keeping your family healthy and happy!
