Benefits of
Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care for children could include spinal alignments to reposition the vertebrae in his or her back. This enhances circulation throughout the body and relieves any pressure they may have. In addition, it can include posture correction, which consists of exercises that your child completes to help him or her learn proper posture. Ultimately, that can prevent stress on his or her lower back now and in the future. Sometimes, Dr. Rumley will recommend exercises, especially stretches, that work the soft tissue in the back to strengthen it.
Children often sit at a desk for prolonged periods while doing school. If they like playing video games, reading, or doing other sit-down activities, they may also be putting pressure on their backs during this time. This can sometimes lead to pain. Additionally, chiropractic care benefits children who have certain musculoskeletal issues like scoliosis.
Studies have been conducted that show chiropractic care can benefit children with ADHD. It can even help those who don’t have ADHD in terms of concentration and behavior. Pediatric chiropractic care can even benefit the social interactions of children. Although studies haven’t concluded whether chiropractic care can replace ADHD medications, you may notice a change in your child’s behaviors and focus, which can lead to a decrease of medications, depending on your child’s response to treatment.
