Children and Chiropractic Care

Does My Child need a Chiropractic Checkup?

As parents, we want our kids to be as healthy as possible. We make sure they eat right, get the proper amount of rest and exercise, give them emotional and spiritual support and take them for regular dental checkups.

These factors contribute to their overall sense of health. A major component, however, is the communication between your child’s brain and body, a vital link controlling the growth, repair and function of every tissue and organ in the body. Chiropractors specialize in keeping that line of communication open.

Chiropractic is a completely natural approach to health. It does not try to stimulate or inhibit normal body function. Instead, chiropractors realize the correlation between the breakdown of the nervous system and disease. Since the nerves are part of the body’s communication system, any interference, however slight, can have detrimental effects. When a spinal vertebrae is out of its natural alignment, it is called a vertebral subluxation. The misaligned bones put pressure on the nerves as they exit from the spinal column, which leads to the beginning stages of disease.

Subluxations start early, many of which occur during the birthing process. This predisposes children to many childhood ailments, such as asthma, ear infections, colic and bedwetting. A chiropractic checkup will determine whether or not your child may require care. Since your doctor of chiropractic specializes in removing spinal subluxations, your child can have a healthier start in life. As the saying goes, "As the twig is bent, so grows the tree." At Baldwin Associates of Chiropractic, we love starting kids on the road to wellness. So ask yourself, "Does my child need a chiropractic checkup?’ The answer is "Yes!"
