Why Chiropractic for Kids?
Kids Love Chiropractic! Children enjoy coming to our clinic and getting their spines adjusted. At Adjust to Wellness, we have adjusted spines from infants that are hours old to patients who are 98 years old.
Most parents take their kids for routine visits to the dentist for check-ups to help in preventing tooth decay. The concept of preventative chiropractic care has been starting to be recognized for its great value in preventing illness and disability. Spinal check-up's performed by a chiropractor could prove to be quite valuable in the life of your child. Not only is there trauma in childbirth itself, children are constantly falling, jumping, and running. These regular childhood activities are just a few of the many ways for spinal misalignments to occur. If not detected and corrected these misaligments, also known as subluxations, can have serious health consequences in the future.
Many children visit Dr. Sarah at Adjust to Wellness to find relief from ear infections, colic, bed-wetting, attention problems, digestive issues, scoliosis, allergies, asthma, back/neck pain, headaches, or just to keep their spines and nervous system well.
A ground breaking study not only reported the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic care for children, but it also reported three unexpected improvements with their children while under chiropractic care:
- Improved sleeping
- Improved behavior and attitude
- Improved immune system function

Dr. Sarah is specifically trained to examine and adjust children of all ages. She has adjusted her two daughters from birth to ensure their health and to help them to get a good start. The importance of a healthy spine and nervous system is vital for your child's future. A healthy nervous system via a subluxation free spine, insures that your child is better equipped to deal with everything from enhancing developmental milestones, sore throats, chickenpox, back/neck pain, to growing pains. Don't underestimate the bodies' natural healing power when it functions at 100%. By correcting subluxations, chiropractic assures that your body and your children's bodies have the opportunity to function at its best.
