Being Regular is Important!

Constipation is the second most common problem in the pediatric world, and accounts for 25% of all doctor visits. These children often experience severe difficulty with elimination of food waste, which is often accompanied with pain, fear, and avoidance.

Being regular is important. If your child makes infrequent trips to the restroom, or complains of a stomach ache often, consider scheduling a subluxation appointment. Just one visit is typically all it takes to have things back to normal.

Learning from Our Children

As parents, it is easy to believe that we will be doing the teaching and instructing, and that our kids will be the students. However, this is not always the case! Quite often, they can teach us, far more than we expect. For instance, a baby who is receiving chiropractic care has enviable posture and balance – something that adults often struggle with.  Start your child off right.

Ear Infections & Chiropractic Care

"baby fist going to chiropractor"

 

 

 

 

 

Every year there are 10 million new cases of ear infections. In fact nearly 50% of children will have at least one middle ear infection before they reach their first birthday, and 60% of them will have had at least one ear infection by age 3.  Studies also show that the earlier a child begins having ear infections, the more likely they are to have multiple ear infections.

There are many reasons ear infections occur. Allergies, infection, and pacifier use are but a few. But perhaps the most common culprit is birth trauma which affects the nerves from the neck to the ears. When these nerves are damage and moved out of alignment, a child is more at risk for ear infections. However, by visiting a pediatric chiropractor those nerves in the neck and skull can be re-aligned and ear infections are decreased, and in many cases eliminated."child swimming pool ear fluid removed"

Child Chiropractic Procedures: Subluxation

"mom with child riding bike"Subluxation is a slight misalignment of the vertebrae. This misalignment has been linked to a number of diseases and health concerns. By visiting a pediatric chiropractor, your child will not only feel better physically, but can actually avoid risk of disease. It has been shown that a vertebral subluxation can affect not just the ease of movement, but also that it can alter how well the brain and the nervous system communicate.

When your child sees a chiropractor for subluxation you are minimizing, if not eliminating altogether, pain due to movement as well as improving their ability to understand and communicate. In addition, children who receive subluxation are healthier and at lower risk of illness or even disease. This lower risk of illness has been shown as a result of unhealthy microbes not being able to be lodged within the vertebrae.

Keep your child healthy and happy, schedule a pediatric subluxation with us today. "Mom baby on chest subluxation"

These two facts alone, are reason enough to plan on taking your infant to a pediatric chiropractor’s office. But, when you also factor in that regular visits to a chiropractor can also lower your baby’s risk of ear infections, minimize or totally alleviate colic, help them  sleep better, help them to have baby alignment, pediatric chiropractic visits, birth, newbornsbetter balance and even ensure that they reach standard developmental markers on schedule, it is clear that a kid’s chiropractor is a great choice. So, schedule your baby’s visit, so they can feel good from head to toe!
