According to the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for every 100 children, three percent of them will visit a chiropractor for osteopathic or chiropractic manipulation; and this number is rising. Because the joints of children are not fully formed, a parent may initially seek chiropractic care to address chronic ear infections, only to realize there are many benefits to creating a plan of care their child to address other issues. Here are a few ways kids can benefit from chiropractic care.

IMPROVEMENTS IN OVERALL IMMUNE FUNCTIONING

Much like the bones of kids have yet to fully form, their immune systems are still forming as well. Routine chiropractic care can address any subluxations that are interfering with or impairing neurological functioning or that may be negatively affecting the immune system. Spinal adjustments can actually strengthen a child's immune system, thereby limiting the frequency of minor illnesses like colds and earaches.

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CNS OR CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

Chiropractors who have a significant amount of experience in caring for small children can help with lots of issues that kids normally experience like chronic bed wetting, acid reflux, recurring ear infections and even insomnia. By resolving problems that start with the CNS or central nervous system, it is possible to improve both nerve and brain development. Given that kids are constantly growing and changing, chiropractors place their focus on improving the movement and alignment of the spine rather than offering prescription pain medications.

IMPROVED SLEEP

For kids, getting good sleep is vital for proper learning and brain development. But, misalignment across the spine and muscle pain can have a negative impact on a child's sleep habits. Getting kids routinely adjusted can promote significant improvements in blood circulation throughout the entire body while improving relaxation and overall sleep quality.
