Chiropractic care for children. Is it
safe?
When it
comes to chiropractic care for children it is important to understand that the
Doctor of Chiropractic does not treat conditions or diseases. The expertise of
the chiropractor is in checking the spine for misalignments that impair nervous
system functions; therefore affecting the overall body function.
The
International Chiropractic Pediatric Association studies have shown that
chiropractic for children improves sleep, behaviour and attitude, and improved
immune system functions. Due to
activities, small yet substantial, spinal misalignments (subluxations) may
occur and if neglected can lead to serious injuries.
The
chiropractor adjustment restores nerve system function allowing the body the
ability to express a greater state of wellbeing. The nervous system includes the brain, spinal
cord, and all the millions of nerves that serve every inch of your body and
control most of its functions.
A
chiropractic adjustment for babies and young children are very gentle, using
about the pressure you would to use to check in a ripe tomato. Children adjust very well and by correcting
misalignments in childhood allows the spine to develop in proper alignment and
the nervous system to function at its optimal potential. Chiropractic care for children is safe,
gentle, and effective!

Core Strength
Building a strong core!
What are the benefits of having a strong core? The abdominal muscles are apart of your core. However your core consists of many muscle groups that stabilize your spine, pelvis, and the entire length of your torso. Your core is the major stabilizing muscle group that holds you upright! A strong core improves balance, posture, protects your back, and reduces back pain. You can train your core muscles anyhwere, anytime, and you do not need any fancy equipment. A pushup is the best overall exercise you can do for your core. You are not only working your upper body, you are strengthening your core muscles. Your abdominals, back, obliques and much more. This is an exercise that you can do anywhere. If you are interested in learning more about core strength please join us for our Interactive Core Training Workshop:
