Importance of Visiting Our Chiropractor

You want your child to be as healthy as possible, so visit their pediatrician, eye doctor, and dentist. While these are undoubtedly necessary appointments, there’s a good chance you’re missing one care provider. Why should our chiropractor be a priority? Our team at Navarre Chiropractic Center in Navarre, FL, shares the answer below.

Do Children Need to See a Chiropractor?

Visiting our chiropractor is often thought of as something only adults do after an injury. However, this holistic care is needed because children are still growing.

The truth is a chiropractor can play an integral role in the health and well-being of your child. Children's spinal health is constantly a target for injuries from the womb and the birth canal to the playground and soccer field. Although, an issue in the spinal column can lead to several unwanted issues, including:

• Colic
• Asthma
• Low immunity
• Trouble focusing
• Behavioral problems
• Ear infections
• Gastrointestinal issues

Although children are still growing, they might not “grow out of” an injury. Instead, they could grow with it, which could continue their suffering for the rest of their lives.

Benefits of Visiting Our Chiropractor

No matter your child's age, chiropractic care can provide many benefits. For example, newborn chiropractic care has provided much-needed rest for both parents and babies, as it has helped reduce or relieve colic. Newborn chiropractic care has also been beneficial in babies who have trouble latching to the nurse or suffer from reflux.

Chiropractic infant care can also address misalignment before it interferes with performance in school and sports. Many children suffer from misalignment or spinal health issues from birth, which can trigger or exacerbate stress later. Regular chiropractic visits allow our team to detect and address these issues and reduce or eliminate their effects.
