3 Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Children in Prescott, AZ

Over the years, people have had the interest and demand for alternative therapies. This is when compared to our modern conventional therapies.  “Alternative” and “complementary” therapies like chiropractic care are taking center stage but in truth, these alternatives have been around for thousands of years. Much longer than our conventional systems of health care. Contrary to the routine diagnosis of signs and symptoms, that are treated only with medication or surgery, Chiropractic Care works by addressing the spinal health of the body so that the nervous system may function correctly. [1] 

Moreover, most Chiropractors encourage natural healing through Physical, Chemical, and Emotional wellness. Physical wellness routines include posture, exercise (movement), rest or sleep, and hygiene. Chemical wellness routines include clean water, real food, balanced stress, and natural detoxification. Emotional wellness routines include healthy connections to reality, self-awareness, mindset, and relationships. For more on these topics, click the links provided.

Childhood is often signified by rapid transformation and growth. In the growing years of the child, healthy adaptation to the environment should be encouraged in all of these categories above. Chiropractors are well known for adjusting spinal issues such as low back pain, but when utilized properly, they are an essential part of your childs growing years to encourage good posture and proper movement when it comes to their entire musculoskeletal systems. Chiropractors can check, detect and correct spinal biomechanical issues from day one to encourage a healthy start to life.

Chiropractic care is the life-affirming art, science and philosophy that emphasizes the importance of nervous system adaptation to the stresses and challenges of our environment. At Prescott Family Chiropractic in Arizona our goal is to eliminate nervous system interference and distortion through specific chiropractic adjustments, which in turn allows the body to recover and heal to the best of its abilities. It’s important to understand that chiropractic doesn’t cure anything, but it helps people to live better through the proper function of the nervous system.

In its broadest sense, chiropractic has three major benefits:

1. It seeks to identify the root cause of unwanted symptoms controlled by the nervous system. 

2. It helps the body to adapt better to the surrounding environment by encouraging normal physiology. 

3. It reduces or eliminates pain that is an alarm system for underlying dysfunction.

Chiropractic Care for children is always beneficial whether there is pain, symptoms or just a well-child visit. One of the significant reasons it is advised is that children having better spinal alignment tend to have better posture. This affects their overall health and clears neural pathways for better communication from the brain. Some general benefits of regular Chiropractic care are:

•  Better sleep

•  Enhanced immune and reproductive system function

•  Fewer colds, infections and illness. 

•  Improved digestion

•  Increased energy

•  More rapid recovery from injury or sickness

Some more specific benefits that we have seen when children are under regular chiropractic care are decreases in:

•  Acid reflux

•  Colic

•  Constipation

•  Ear infections

•  Latching issues

•  Sleep issues

•  Torticollis

“Medicine is the study of disease and what causes man to die. Chiropractic is the study of health and what causes man to live.” 

-BJ Palmer

Chiropractic Care has often been shown to address childhood and infant issues such as ear infections, acid reflux, and colic better than conventional allopathic medicine. The conventional ways of antibiotics, pain relievers, and acid reducers tend to have long-term negative side effects such as microbiome issues and bone demineralization. 

The two systems are not the same. Chiropractic looks to enhance the body’s natural ability to heal and adapt while the conventional system looks to disguise symptoms until another arises, often due to side effects from the original remedy. 

Chiropractors help build a well-functioning nervous system for the body during its many growing phases. This simple fact has encouraged many parents to seek out pro-active chiropractic health care for their families.[2]
