Kids & Chiropractic

Kids of all ages can benefit greatly from chiropractic adjustments. Kids have nervous systems that can be impacted just like adults, and they often have more injuries than adults as they learn about their bodies. At the same time kids are learning and growing, their nervous system is developing rapidly and is most responsive to spinal adjustments.
Adjustments can help maintain healthy children from birth into adulthood. More and more research is being performed and some suggests chiropractic care can be effective in helping cases of colic, digestive problems, ear infections, reflux, excessive crying, constipation, sleep disturbance, and bed wedding.
Scoliosis is another common childhood disorder than can be helped with chiropractic care if diagnosed and treated before spinal development has completed. Dr. Lewis adjusted her children when they were days old. Adjustments are important for infants due to the stress during the birth process and cesarean sections. More complicated labor and deliveries tend to have more impact on the baby’s spine. However, a normal delivery process can put a lot of pressure on the baby’s head and neck causing subluxations. The adjustment on babies involves very light pressure and light thrusts. It is not traumatic for the babies at all. If you have questions about getting your children adjusted, feel free to ask Dr. Lewis.
