Why does my child need Chiropractic?

We don’t typically think of children as needing chiropractic. That’s because we are conditioned to associate chiropractic with pain relief and how many kids do we see walking around yelling “ouch, my back is killing me!”? That pain does not show up until later in life, BUT IT HAD TO START SOMEWHERE. Pain should never be the only reason we seek intervention. This is the reason that people get into trouble with any chronic illness, we don’t try and fix the problem until it causes us pain! Most people do not go to the medical doctor and say “ I woke this morning feeling fabulous and by the way I think I have cancer”! NO THAT NEVER HAPPENS, people typically go get things checked out when they are painful. Wouldn’t it be easier if we just got annual preventive screenings.Yes it would and this is the future of healthcare, catching a problem before it has a chance to progress. Chiropractors work in this prevention paradigm by assessing the spine and nervous system for interferences that could result in physical, emotional, and chemical imbalances in the body. My job is to remove that interference (subluxation) which will allow the body to function at its optimum capacity. THIS STARTS EARLY.
