Children and Chiropractic

Beneficial to All Ages

Can a child benefit from chiropractic medicine? Absolutely. In their formative and developing years, your child may not only sustain many bumps and bruises but more importantly they will experience intense stages of quick growth. In fact, your child’s spine grows almost 50% in length during the first year. During this growth period, a complete chiropractic examination can be used as a preventative step in your child’s overall health.

Additionally, there are a variety of childhood ailments that can be eliminated with the help of chiropractic care. A 1989 study comparing children under chiropractic care with those under medical care found that those children under chiropractic care suffered fewer ear infections, had fewer allergies, reported a lower incidence of infantile colic and needed less medical treatment.

Chiropractic medicine is one of the safest forms of health care and has been effective in the treatment of children for nearly 100 years. As a parent, you must take responsibility for your child’s health. Why limit your child’s health and well being to only basic medical care when there is a more thorough and total approach at Ross Health and Wellness.
