Kids and Chiropractic

Do you remember why you first visited a chiropractor?

For some, it was due to an injury; for most, it was because of pain. A good majority of “what ails us” today was caused by years of wear and tear on our body—and our inattentiveness to address our body’s needs.

Would you have come to us at an early age if you had been given the option, knowing then what you know now about the benefits of chiropractic care?

Did you know that the average “cruising” (walking short distances from object to object) toddler falls an average of 38 times a day? That translates into a lot of bumps and bruises! From birth (imagine how much of a strain the actual birthing process puts on a newborn’s neck and shoulders) to the active teenage years (do your teenagers remind you of yourself as a teenager?), children encounter a lot of trauma to their entire bodies—not just the spinal cord!

If you’re thinking you sure could have used a chiropractor during your “memorable” teenage years, don’t you think your child could benefit from a chiropractor today?

At Sport and Spine, we are committed to providing excellent healthcare and wellness opportunities to ALL of our patients—and this includes parents and their children. You see, families are important to us! We believe the benefits of chiropractic should be experienced by people of EVERY AGE.

Think of it this way: When you sit at a desk all day, five days a week, you can communicate to someone that your neck is stiff and it’s making your head ache, and as a result, making you irritable. But as a toddler, you can’t as easily communicate that sitting the car seat for three hours has made you uncomfortable; that sitting in that one position has tightened your neck so that the fluid cannot drain from your ears and now you have an earache. All you can do is cry, become irritable, not sleep well.

We want to ensure your child begins life with the best possible potential. For both young and older children, chiropractic care makes sure their bodies are developing and growing correctly.

Chiropractic care has numerous health benefits for infants and toddlers. It can reduce the number of colds a young child experiences, help prevent injuries, decrease the use of antibiotics (because the body is healing itself naturally), decrease colic and ear infections.

For active teenagers, regular chiropractic care allows for quicker healing from injuries and will prevent future problems.

Chiropractic care should begin in childhood and last a lifetime. That is why we are offering a VIP plan just for kids. Call us today to discover more!
