We see a lot of kids at Owens and Krisik Chiropractic for a wide variety of reasons. We often get asked why a child would need to see a chiropractor? A child’s spine goes through a great deal of stress and trauma as they grow up. There is a large amount of stress put on a child spine during the first moments of life during the birthing process. As a child grows there are countless falls, sports injuries, awkward sleeping positions, poor posture etc. that can put stress on the spine causing misalignments. All of this happens as a child is growing and their nervous system is developing at a rapid pace. Adjustments help by alleviating the stress on the nervous system allowing for normal neurological and spinal development.
Chiropractic care for children can help alleviate symptoms such as: colic, ear infections, bed wetting and more!
