Did you know that kiddos who get regular chiropractic care are statistically much healthier? Chiropractic can improve your child’s health!
Something super important may be missing from your child’s well checks! And if not addressed can cause challenges with their immune system, ear nose and throat, digestion, and even milestone development!
As a parent, our growing babies’ health is so important to us! Whether our child was born with health challenges from the very beginning or is thriving, most children undergo a series of well child checkups during the first year of life.
Checkups for babies and toddlers are done within 5 days after birth, and thereafter at 2 weeks, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 15 months, 18 months, 24 months and 30 months.
Typical things checked at well-child visit are:
- Eyes, ears, nose, & throat
- Heart and lungs
- Thyroid
- Abdomen
- Height & weight
- Body mass index
- Diabetes screening
- Complete blood count
But one major system in the body is MISSING from this list! Your child’s nervous system and the way their brain is communicating with their body.
Other than reflexes and muscle strength, a child’s brain and body connection is never thoroughly evaluated for areas of stress and interference in the vital communication pathways that the brain has with the body. Signals are sent from the brain -> through the spinal cord and then -> through the nerves and to every cell, organ and tissue.
These electrical signals tell their little bodies exactly what to do and how to do it coordinating their immune system, drainage of their ear nose and throat, digestion, speech development, and motor development!
Their little brains are in overdrive developing in the first few years and because the brains main pathway of communication is through the spinal cord, a child’s spinal health is ESSENTIAL to their normal growth and development and Health & Wellness.
Pediatric chiropractors specialize in assessing your child’s spinal alignment for signs of stress that could interfere with their overall health, like lack of motion, changes in alignment and stress in the nervous system.
Gentle adjustments are used to softly bring your little one’s spine back into a peaceful state so that they can grow and thrive without interference! Contact us today to have your little one checked!
