Why Chiropractic is Important for Children
Today more parents than ever before are bringing their children to Doctors of Chiropractic for common health concerns and to support a healthy lifestyle.
Is it safe to adjust a child or infant?
Chiropractic is absolutely safe for children. Doctors of Chiropractic use very gentle and specific techniques for children. The purpose of chiropractic is to remove interference to the nervous system, which is the control center for all of the bodyâ(TM)s organs, tissues and systems. Chiropractic adjustments release the bodyâ(TM)s healing powers in children just like in adults.
Infants as young as 6 months can be adjusted, though many Doctors of Chiropractic feel that the spine should wait until 3 years of age, enough time to set, before adjustments.
Why do infants need chiropractic?
The birth process is highly traumatic and can introduce great stress to the infantâ(TM)s skull, spine and pelvis. Infants should be checked by a chiropractor for spinal subluxations that may impair nerve function and can contribute to colic, earache and asthma. As babies grow, they begin to crawl, sit, and walk by using their spine. Proper alignment is essential for ensuring normal function.
Why do children need chiropractic?
Children are highly susceptible to trauma in their spines. Since spines grow rapidly during the first five years of life, checking for abnormalities during this time is critical for proper development. Though symptoms may not surface until years later, injury to vital nerves can result in a lifetime of serious health problems.
Chiropractic is especially necessary, some would say critical, for young athletes in contact sports. However, parents bring their children to chiropractors for everyday health concerns such as asthma, common infections, bed-wetting, falls, ADD, and colds. Chiropractic care allows children to have better nerve function, which affects all of the bodyâ(TM)s other systems, and develop to their highest potential.
Parents Use Chiropractors for their Healthcare Team Todayâ(TM)s parents make sure they are well-informed when making healthcare choices for their children. With the rising concern about the side effects of Big Pharma drugs on their children, parents are hesitant to jump to medications to mask symptoms of serious subluxations. They seek out natural healthcare solutions which support their childrenâ(TM)s natural ability to be healthy.
Chiropractic is a critical part of your familyâ(TM)s wellness lifestyle!

A helpful tip:
Your ads would look more professional if you would check to make sure the punctuation renders properly before posting.. Use notepad instead of word to stay with pure ASCII text, and it will all be good.
