At Apex Chiropractic, we understand the delicate nature of a child’s spine. The pressure placed on a child’s or infant’s spine during chiropractic care is less than the pressure placed on a ripe tomato. Parents of children seen at Apex often report that their children are not only comfortable during their visits but also look forward to them with anticipation.
Children are susceptible to trauma to their spines at various stages of their lives. The very first possibility of trauma can occur during the birthing process (Vaginal or Cesarean), in which the infant’s spine is stretched and torqued and can result in disturbances to the surrounding nerves. As babies grow, it is essential to have their spines checked periodically to ensure proper postural changes occur. Older children undergo trauma while playing sports or even when sedentary in slouched positions for extended periods (using computers and cell phones). It is essential to have their spines checked before and during adolescence to prevent future issues seen in adulthood.
Join the millions of parents who are choosing chiropractic care for their children’s spinal health. From birth to age 18, children are benefiting from this holistic approach to healthcare.
Parents understand the importance of early detection and correction, which can prevent layers of damage from occurring in a child’s delicate nervous system. Accumulated damage can have lifelong consequences. Proper spinal hygiene, like dental hygiene, is vital to prevention.
Chiropractic care for children and infants involves gentle pressure—less than what it takes to lightly squeeze a ripe tomato. Parents often share that their children feel entirely at ease during treatments and look forward to returning for their next visit.
Prevention is key to ensuring long-term health and wellness. Many parents report that chiropractic care leads to overall improvements in their children’s health, including fewer sick days, increased energy, better concentration, and deeper, more restful sleep.
