Chiropractic Care for Children and Young Adults
At this clinic we love to help all children but our focus is from about 4 yrs and up. We have noticed children usually report more symptoms to their parents around 9-10 years of age. But do you think this is the age that their underlying problems started?
Their symptoms are often blamed on 'growth spurts' but it is likely the extra demands placed on their bodies by school bags, playing sports, playing computer games, poor posture (while sitting and sleeping) are also involved.
The way chiropractors see it, is that any extra stressors may cause the misalignments in the childs joints and spine, interfere with their nervous system and strength and result in symptoms. The most common symptoms children (or their parents) report to our clinic appear to be headaches, heel or calf pain, and low back or neck pain. We have had great results so far with treating children and they often only need relatively few treatments compared to adults.
