During the first few years of life, rapid neuro-development is taking place - along with all the external stressors occurring throughout daily life. The question often arises, “why do kids need chiropractic care if they don’t have back & neck pain?”
We always say “healthy kids grow to be healthy adults”. Kiddos experience falls, emotional stress, all kinds of chemical stressors, birth traumas, etc. Tuning up their nervous systems to function at its highest level can enable their bodies to adapt at a more efficient level.
The Adjustment: The pressure used in pediatric care is no more than you would use to test the ripeness of a tomato - so gentle, yet so effective! Adjustments remain gentle, safe, & effective & are altered to the size/weight of the growing kiddo.
