The Importance of Having Your Child Visit a Chiropractor from a Young Age

The value of chiropractic treatment was first recognized by modern science over 100 years ago. While many of us only envision adults in the treatment room, studies indicate there are a wide range of benefits to sending your child to a pediatric chiropractor. Front Range Sports Medicine of Castle Rock looks to achieve whole-body wellness for our patients, designing a personalized treatment plan that employs a variety of holistic techniques. 

Top Benefits of Pediatric Chiropractic Care

If you’ve ever been to the chiropractor for a spinal manipulation, you’ve felt the benefits firsthand. Why, then, are we hesitant to offer our children the same health and happiness during those critical developmental years? The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) reports the following top benefits to pediatric chiropractic care:

• A healthy spine encourages proper neurological function, ensuring optimal brain and nerve development. 

• Supports the immune system as it matures, facilitating effective function and supporting the child’s overall health.

• Posture correction alleviates tension and discomfort, allowing for more restful sleep.

• Fosters positive attitude and improved behavior. 

When Can They Start?

Through the Webster technique, your baby can begin enjoying the benefits of chiropractic care while still in the womb. This innovative technique corrects misalignments in the pelvic area, enhancing neurological function and the birthing process. Additionally, the ICPA encourages a visit to the chiropractor as soon as possible to combat the trauma of childbirth. Correcting spinal dysfunction early on may help fight common infant challenges such as difficulty breastfeeding, colic, and ear infections.
