How Your Kids Can Benefit from Chiropractic
As back to school quickly approaches, parents are preparing to get their kids ready to go back to school, whether that’s in the classroom or virtual learning. You’ve purchased their supplies and created their schedules, but have you considered chiropractic? Here’s why you should add chiropractic to this school year’s routine.
THE BENEFITS OF CHIROPRACTIC FOR KIDS
Just as there are many ways adults can benefit from chiropractic, kids can also enjoy the positive effects of chiropractic care. This list may not cover all the benefits, but here are some of the common responses we hear from our patients at Shields Chiropractic.
- Faster Healing – The spine is the foundation of the central nervous system (CNS), so proper alignment can help other systems in the body function more efficiently. The more efficient the body works, the faster and better it can heal itself. This is especially important from growing bodies as illness and injury are common and chiropractic can help protect them long-term.
- Improved Sleep – Not only can your kids benefit from adjustments, but you can benefit from their adjustments, too! When your child’s body is relaxed and comfortable, they have an easier time falling and staying asleep. This is important as their bodies develop, and it’s also great for parents who could use a little extra shut-eye!
- Less Pain – Chiropractic is great for pain relief no matter what age or stage of life. During a chiropractic adjustment, our chiropractors will return the spine to proper alignment which often relieves discomfort, pain, and tension. Regular chiropractic adjustments often result in less pain in the back and neck, fewer headaches, and a reduction in joint pain. These pains aren’t specific to adults – kids feel them too and chiropractic can help manage that pain naturally.
- Fewer Ear Infections – If you have a young child, you know the struggle of ear infections. Parents who take their kids to a pediatric chiropractor often report improved health and wellness and fewer ear infections.
