Pediatric Chiropractic
Can chiropractic be beneficial for babies, toddlers, and children
During both a natural birth and a Cesarean birth it is easy for a child's spine to become improperly aligned due to the amount of pressure involved. Childhood frequently involves awkward sleeping positions and falls and tumbles. Toddlers are prone to twists and falls. While children are very resilient and are capable of taking falls, there is the possibility that some of the injuries can cause a certain movement pattern resulting in misaligned vertebrae.
Some kids demonstrate bad posture while watching TV, sitting at a desk, wearing a heavy backpack, and playing sports. This leads to unnecessary pressure on the spine. As children turn into teenagers, their bodies experience added stress due to hormonal changes and increased physical activity. This added stress can also lead to a negative spinal impact.
