Why do infants and little kids need Chiropractic care?
For the same reason that you need Chiropractic care! They have a spine, a nerve system, and messages traveling up and down their spine keeping them functioning properly. Any Vertebral Subluxations will also cause them to function at less than 100%. Even more importantly, the bones of their spines are still growing and changing shape for the first 25 years of their lives. When kids are born the bones of the back are made up of mostly cartilage, like your nose or your ears. They slowly harden into hard bone over time. The majority of the hardening takes place within the first 12 years, and then it is “fine-tuned” till you are 25. As these bones are determining their shape and placement for their adult lives, it just makes sense to make sure they are properly aligned, giving your kids their best chance at reaching their potential in life. This is why we say that kids have the most to gain from Chiropractic! For even more information about kids and Chiropractic, click here.
