Chiropractic for Children
While kids are resilient, and can mostly shrug off their day-to-day injuries, they are still vulnerable to some of the same acute and chronic discomforts as adults. among other things, these can include back and neck pain, headaches or migraines caused by injuries, poor posture, and strain from carrying a heavy bag (backpacks are a particularly pesky culprit) or the use of non-ergonomic furniture. All of these daily aches and pains have the potential to benefit from chiropractic care.
Why modern kids and teens need chiropractic
The excessive use of devices, watching of television and sedentary lifestyle common among older kids and teens often leads to a posture in which their head tilts forward, placing strain on their upper back and neck. This can cause a change in their posture and act as a trigger for spinal problems. Teenagers should be assessed for issues related to posture, which can cause continued dysfunction and pain into their adult years.
