Pediatric Chiropractic Care 3 Things You Need To Know

When your child isn't feeling well chances are you take them to a pediatrician, but more and more parents are taking their children to a chiropractor. Here are 3 things you need to know about pediatric chiropractic care.

#1 Pediatric Chiropractic Care Is Safe and Effective

If you've ever received a manual chiropractic adjustment you might be under the misconception that the same amount of force will be used on your child. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Manual chiropractic manipulation is safe and effective on infants and small children because the chiropractor gently uses the fingers to move something that wants to go into place anyway. With adults manual chiropractic manipulation can be more challenging. Adults have more scar tissue or fibrous tissue and the problem has often been ignored for long periods of time, which requires the Chiropractor to apply more pressure.

Consider that the birthing process is frequently a traumatic event with anywhere from 30 to 90 pounds of pressure typically used in the delivery process. Compare that with the light touch used by a Chiropractor, and there really is no comparison. For more than 100 years chiropractic adjustments have been proven to be safe and effective treatment for newborns, infants and small children.

#2 Children Feel Better Faster

With effective chiropractic care children see results quickly, in some cases within minutes of the adjustment. It's not uncommon for headaches, even migraines, to disappear almost immediately.

Problems that could possibly take weeks or months for adults to see improvement, often take considerably less time for children to feel the difference. The process of going to the chiropractor actually becomes fun for the child, and unlike adults, children don't really care how chiropractic adjustments work, they're just happy that they feel better.

#3 Medication Isn't Always Necessary

When children are in pain many parents head for their medicine cabinet. But medicating children can change their personality, while chiropractic adjustments require no medication, they are pain free and treat the root cause of the problem. By treating the actual cause of the problem, instead of medicating the symptom, you allow the natural healing power of the body to do what it was designed to do and heal itself.

Chiropractic care isn't a cure-all, but many common childhood ailments including migraine headaches, ear infections, asthma, colic, colds and sore throats can be treated with proper chiropractic care.
