Pediatric Chiropractic in Ellicott City
Chiropractic care is an essential part of your child’s overall wellness. In the United States, more than 17 percent of all chiropractic patients are under the age of 18, according to the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners. Of that 17 percent, nearly 8 percent are five years or younger.
Your Child’s Nervous System
The nervous system, consisting of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, controls everything in the body, including growth and development. Subluxations, also known as misalignments, in the spine can prevent proper communication from the brain to the body. These subluxations cause stress to the nervous system, leading to decreased function in the affected area.
Infants, children, and adults can all experience subluxations in the spine. Infants and children can become subluxated from birth trauma, other minor or major traumas, and developmental stress. During the first five years of life, the body produces more neural pathways than at any other time. It is vital this production is optimized through children’s chiropractic care, as these early years are crucial for each child’s potential.
Even if your child is in excellent health, minor traumas from bumps, bruises, falls, and spills accumulate over time, resulting in pain, discomfort, and/or health issues in their teen and adult years.
The Adjustment
The chiropractic adjustment is safe for patients of all ages, including newborns. After assessing your child’s spine, the chiropractor will gently adjust using either their hands or a small tool. This adjustment, alongside the use of chiropractic therapies, removes the subluxation.
