CHIROPRACTIC FOR KIDS
DOES YOUR CHILD SUFFER FROM GROWING PAINS?
Illustrating the benefits of chiropractic care, a recent study examined its effects on children experiencing recurrent headaches, a common issue that can disrupt school performance, social activities, and sports while increasing stress and depression. Just as with other forms of pain, children suffering from headaches often continue to struggle with severe headache syndromes as adults. These headaches in children can stem from various causes, including poor dietary choices, sports-related injuries, or static postures, such as "text neck" or "tech neck."
In this study, nearly 200 children aged 7 to 14, experiencing at least one headache per week, were divided into two groups. One group received chiropractic care for four months, while the other received simulated or "fake" chiropractic care. The study tracked the frequency of headaches in both groups over the four-month period.
The results were notable, with the children in the chiropractic group experiencing significantly fewer headaches and reporting an overall improvement in their well-being. Almost half of the children in the chiropractic group reported that their headaches had notably improved during the study. This study highlights how chiropractic care can effectively break the cycle of recurring headaches in children, potentially preventing them from developing chronic headache conditions in adulthood. Chiropractic care focuses on enhancing brain-body communication, promoting optimal function, and is generally considered safe for children and babies. Parents seeking to give their children a strong foundation for a healthy life can consider consulting a family chiropractor.
IS CHIROPRACTIC CARE SAFE FOR CHILDREN?
Chiropractic care has not only been demonstrated to be safe for children, research continues to demonstrate that there is often injury that occurs during the modern birthing process and if left unchecked, goes undetected into adulthood. Studies have demonstrated that 95% of infants have spinal misalignment due to NORMAL BIRTHING PROCEDURES. In addition, more than 75% of babies born via vacuum extraction, forceps delivery, and C-section displayed distorted cervical spine range of motion. The most critical area for optimal nerve flow in a newborn is the upper cervical spine, where the cerebellum, brainstem, and vagus nerve all are separated by a few tiny pieces of bony cartilage at the Occipital bone - Atlas Bone C1 - Axis Bone (C2). Chiropractic has been scientifically shown to help with pediatric issues such as colic, breastfeeding Issues, ear infections, torticollis, autism, ADD/ADHD/sensory processing disorders, restlessness, concentration difficulties, reduced adaptability to stress, headaches, postural problems, sleeping issues
