Toddlers to Preteens
Why Take a Child to the Chiropractor?
Some toddlers begin care after a fall or missing a milestone. Some parents notice their child's feet turn different directions or their child may walk on their toes. Other parents notice their child is always sick, has ear infections, or is constipated.
Lesser known reasons a child should see a chiropractor includes nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting), night terrors, anal leaking, anxiety, autism symptom reduction, insomnia, and wellness!
Most children prefer “hands off” techniques while some may love the hands on “pretzel move” and discovering the “popcorn noises” hiding in their joints! Most parents see a significant change in their child within 24 hours due to their child’s amazing brain and nervous system!
Chiropractic is beneficial during growth spurts which can help limit the impact of idiopathic scoliosis and pain associated with growth plates in the extremities. Chiropractic during these years is also helpful for proper bone growth, digestion and reducing stress and anxiety.
