The United States CDC (Center for Disease Control) reports that three out of every 100 children will go to the chiropractor's office for spinal adjustments at some point in time, and this is an increasing estimate. Given that kids have joints that are yet to fully form, they might work with chiropractors to alleviate problems like recurring ear infections, only to discover that there are many other benefits that children can enjoy. Following are some of the benefits that younger recipients of chiropractic care can enjoy.

BETTER IMMUNITY

Much like their bones have yet to form, kids also have immune systems that have yet to fully mature. Routine chiropractic visits can resolve spinal subluxations that are hindering immune functioning and neurological functioning overall. Spinal adjustments and manipulation can strength a growing child's immunity, thereby limiting how frequently colds, earaches and other minor illnesses occur.

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CNS OR CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

Chiropractors are experienced in caring for children can assist with many conditions that many children may experience such as bed wetting, chronic ear infection, insomnia and acid reflux. By addressing conditions that originate from the central nervous system, brain and nerve development can be improved. Because a child changes and grows each day, a chiropractor will focus on the nervous system by restoring normal alignment and movement of the spine rather than prescription medications.

START SLEEPING BETTER

Throughout childhood, getting regular, high-quality sleep is vital for learning and overall brain development. Spinal misalignment and troubles with muscle soreness can have a very negative effect on sleep habits and patterns. Routine adjustments will improve blood circulation across the entire body while promoting improvements in both sleep quality and relaxation abilities as well.
