Infants & Children

Optimal Health

As loving parents, mothers and fathers take great care in providing the healthiest possible environment for their baby. Even long before the birth, caring mothers take measures to ensure their babies are healthy. Eating properly, exercising, avoiding alcohol, cigarettes and medications, and obtaining chiropractic care are all ways to prepare for a healthier baby.

Once a child is born, the parents continue to nurture the health of their baby. They provide check-ups for the baby's teeth, eyes, ears, etc., but has their baby had a spinal check-up to look for the presence of vertebral subluxation? We believe they should.

Children Respond Well to Gonstead Chiropractic Adjustment

Gonstead Chiropractic

A doctor of chiropractic is the only health care provider trained and experienced with detecting, reducing, correcting, and preventing subluxation.

For many decades, parents have been bringing their newborns to Gonstead chiropractors. Parents across the country report Gonstead chiropractic having positive results for their children with many different conditions. By eliminating interference to the nervous system, caused by vertebral subluxation, the body can function as intended. Your Gonstead chiropractor modifies adjustments based on a patient's size and stature. Infants require only very slight and gentle adjustments, and typically respond to care very quickly. Gonstead chiropractors are interested in only the specific areas of subluxation, and adjust those areas only.

Newborns are often subluxated during the birth process, as this is often the most traumatic event of their lives. If not at birth, then children often damage and mis-align their spines with the many falls they take learning to walk, and later playing sports.

Parents confirm what research studies have shown, that children under chiropractic care are healthier than children under conventional medical care alone. Children receiving chiropractic care report fewer allergies, ear infections, headaches, and less colic, tonsillitis, back pain, and asthma. Chiropractic children tend to need less drugs, surgery, and miss fewer days of school.

Uncorrected, spinal problems in childhood become significant problems in adulthood. Give your infant the best possible chance to live a healthy life - have their spine checked by a Gonstead chiropractor.
