There is a growing need for primary health care providers who use natural methods which are safe, effective, and without side effects, especially for developing children. Many parents turn to chiropractic care for their children. Many more parents are bringing in their children soon after birth to have their spines checked; these babies are not sick!  But, these parents realize that the birth process itself may place stress on the developing spine. They don’t want to wait until symptoms develop and there is a problem!

DRUG FREE HEALING, NATURALLY

Instead of using drugs, our therapists work with children’s bodies to help strengthen their immune systems and heal. In the common ills of children, gentle chiropractic adjustments, cranio-sacral work, and sometimes nutritional modifications are used to help regain homeostasis – that fine line between well-being and dis-ease.

WELLNESS CHIROPRACTIC

PRI is a big advocate of preventative chiropractic care.  You don’t wait until you child’s teeth are rotting before you take them in to the dentist, do you? So why should you wait until your child has a spinal curvature, earache, asthma, or allergies, before you take them in for a chiropractic check up? Prevention is the key!

Because the nervous system controls and coordinates many functions in the body, regular chiropractic care starting at birth (or preferably in utero!) absolutely helps children to grow up healthier and happier! Even “normal” births can cause trauma to the spine, especially the neck and cranium of the newborn. When forceps, vacuum extraction, or cesarean section are used, the trauma increases.

Your baby’s spine will grow 50% in that first year, making it very susceptible to injury. Your child’s spine must also develop curves in the neck and low back during that first year in order to continue growing properly in childhood. After that first year, the child’s activity level increases, which may subject the spine to repeated physical trauma. Look at a child who’s learning how to walk. Can you imagine falling on YOUR butt so many times a day? And have you seen older children playing on the playground? Those repeated stressors can cause vertebrae to misalign and affect spinal health.

REACHING THEIR FULL HUMAN POTENTIAL

We all have high hopes and dreams for our children. Each child is special in their own way. Chiropractic can help YOUR child reach THEIR full human potential, whatever that may be. This includes those children with special needs, such as those Down’s Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, and others who are physically or mentally challenged. This may help them grow up healthy – in mind, body, and spirit!

Indications that your OLDER CHILD may benefit from chiropractic include:

 

* Backaches and Growing pains

* Sports injuries

* Headaches

 

PRI  believes “A well-adjusted kid is a child who gets regular chiropractic care!”

No matter what your childs health concerns or goals may be, this approach and care can make a big difference for you like it has for millions of others.
