Why would my child need Chiropractic?

To put it in a single word would be stress. Stress comes in a lot of different forms, especially for children. The most common and impactful stressor that any child will experience is their birth. While birth is a beautiful and miraculous process, it can place a great deal of physical stress on both mom and baby. Then as they grow up and learn to crawl, then walk, then run, then jump, the physical stressors to their body and spine start to add up.

On top of the physical stressors, children are growing up in an increasingly fast-paced, demanding world. Grades, technology, social media, sports, all add stress to their lives. These stressors accumulate and often get held in the body in different areas. It’s just like if you’ve had a stressful day, you can sometimes feel your shoulders stuck to your ears because of the tension!

To sum it up – all these stressors of daily life for our children build up and keep them stuck in “stress mode”. If they are stuck in stress mode, their bodies are not able to properly adapt to challenges that they face on a daily basis. The inability to adapt is what can cause the warning signs, or symptoms, to begin creeping in.
