The Advantages of Pediatric Chiropractic Care

October 4, 2021 By Renee White

Pediatric Chiropractic CareThere has been a growing trend among parents who are looking for more natural and alternative forms of medical care for their little ones. Unfortunately, there is a lot of information available and it is easy to become overwhelmed. When parents become interested in alternative treatments such as pediatric chiropractic care, there are common questions that they have.

Are Chiropractic Treatments Safe For Children?

Despite the misconceptions, pediatric chiropractic care is extremely safe. Researchers have conducted several studies to verify the safeness and effectiveness of this natural care on children. The level of force that chiropractors need to perform a spinal adjustment on children is far less than the amount of pressure they need to perform a spinal adjustment on an adult. In fact, chiropractors have been working with pediatric patients for many decades.

Why The Need For Pediatric Chiropractic Care?

Bones develop in response to the external pressure placed on them. It is essential that the chiropractor performs the correct type of joint motion so the bones have an opportunity to develop properly. Children are affected by accelerated periods of skeletal growth, which are also known as growth spurts. During this time it is especially important that the joints and the muscles remain balanced.

The nervous system also develops quickly in childhood, and it not only includes the brain and the spinal cord, but it also includes millions of nerves that run throughout the body. These nerves must stay in communication with each other to maintain a healthy nervous system. Chiropractic care can help keep the system healthy.

Does Chiropractic Care Offer The Same Advantages To Children As It Does Adults?

Although the basics remain the same no matter the age of the patient, the constant change and development in children’s bodies will require the chiropractic care to be based on the specific need of development during that time. For example, a 1 year old would have different chiropractic care needs than a 12 year old. Children also respond to chiropractic care easier and faster than an adult because their bodies have not been subjected to years of stress and unhealthy practices.

Parents are often concerned about the age at which their children can begin chiropractic treatments. Pediatric chiropractic care can begin as soon as your newborn leaves the hospital. Physicians introduce newborns to human touch soon after birth. However, children of all ages can benefit from this type of natural care.
