Chiropractic for Kids in Ramsey
Newborns
Spinal subluxations, the result of stress on the body, can occur at any age. The process of childbirth exerts 40-50 pounds of pressure on an infant’s neck. Substantial stress is placed on the neck, spine, nerves and muscles, as the baby’s head rotates through the birth canal.
Children of all ages can benefit from chiropractic care
The spine is vitally important to your baby’s overall health as it protects the spinal cord, which is an extension of the brain. The spinal cord contains billions of nerve fibers, which are sending messages and energy to every part of the body. Health problems in childhood and adulthood have been traced back to spinal damage at birth.
Children
As children move through the toddler and grammar school years, their bodies are constantly evolving. From tentative first steps, to running, biking and team sports, with spills and falls mixed in, these everyday events can cause vertebral subluxations, which can effect them for years to come. Regular chiropractic checkups will realign the spine and prevent long term damage.
When a child’s body is working at optimum levels, it not only improves his or her physical health, but it can also lead to behavioral and emotional improvements. Children with hyperactivity, autism, anxiety, lack of concentration and discipline problems have shown lessening of symptoms to varying degrees after receiving regular chiropractic care.
