When you think of those who benefit from chiropractic care, you may not automatically consider children. But, in fact, neurologically-based chiropractic care can greatly support growing individuals – from infants to young athletes.
“Neurologically-based chiropractic care focuses on the relationship between the spine and the nervous system,” says Dr. Keith Beachy, Lead Doctor at Restoration Health. “This approach aims to correct spinal misalignments that can interfere with nerve function, thereby enhancing the body’s ability to heal and maintain optimal health.”
For newborns, neurologically-based chiropractic care helps address spinal misalignments that may have occurred during birth.
“These misalignments can affect the nervous system and overall development, so early intervention can promote better outcomes as the child grows,” Dr. Beachy says. Treatment can help with issues like colic, breastfeeding difficulties, sleep disturbances and digestive problems.
For older children, neurologically-based chiropractic care can help with growth and development issues, support immune system function, improve posture and enhance overall well-being.
“Regular chiropractic adjustments can also address specific concerns, such as scoliosis, sports injuries and behavioral issues,” he says.
Young athletes who are treated can improve their range of motion, enhance performance and prevent injuries.
“Regular adjustments can also aid in faster recovery from sports-related injuries, reduce pain and improve overall athletic performance by ensuring the body is functioning optimally,” Dr. Beachy explains.
However, Dr. Beachy advises not to wait until an injury occurs to receive chiropractic care. “Proactive care is recommended to maintain optimal health and prevent potential issues before they arise.”
