FAQ's
How can chiropractic
care help an older child who is not ‘sick’?
Chiropractors do not treat diseases,
they help to correct spinal misalignments that can cause health
problems. Through regular adjustments, counseling on proper
nutrition, exercise, and posture, the chiropractor can help
you raise a child who is structurally and functionally sound.
The
number one “illness” in children is accidents.
You may not realize it, but youngsters take numerous tumbles
-- learning to ride a bike, or even just jumping and running
around. If your child takes part in athletic activities,
the “sack” of a quarterback could twist a young
spine, pitching a ball can throw a vertebra out of alignment.
These underlying injuries, if left uncorrected, can cause
serious problems as the child grows into adulthood.
Doctors
of chiropractic can do more than correct these problems.
They can also help improve performance on and off the field
by helping the body to function at its optimum level, naturally,
and without drugs.
