Chiropractic Care for Kids in Gilbert AZ

Attached are several case studies from ICPA (International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. Here are 9 reasons why parents take their children to see a chiropractor:

• To encourage good neural plasticity (brain and nerve development).
  • A good functioning brain is very important to child growth and development.
    To support “first-class” nerve communication throughout the body to promote health and well-being. According to the World Health Organization, “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” Health is not about how you feel, but how you function! Making sure the nerves are functioning at their best is what chiropractors do—removing any nerve pressure and allowing the body to heal itself! Chiropractic helps keep the communication clear!
• To help strengthen their child’s immunity – encouraging fewer colds, ear-aches and general illness.
  • Studies have shown regular chiropractic care can boost your immune system up to 200% or more.
• To help resolve breastfeeding issues and colic.
  • Birth can be one of the most traumatic events in someone’s life. Babies are pulled and twisted upon in all ways. Babies can have TMJ issues and upper cervical rotations that inhibit their bodies from breastfeeding and suckling. Chiropractic Research demonstrates removing the restriction or subluxation, babies can feed bilaterally and normally. See Case Study. Birth trauma can also result in colic in babies. Colic can be due to nerve pressure in the upper back, which causes the baby to squirm and be uncomfortable. Case study. Chiropractic helps by removing the pressure on the nerve for it to function better.
• To reduce the detrimental impact our modern world has on our children’s health.
  • Poor postures surround us in our everyday lifestyle. Sitting improperly, or sitting too long can create abnormal postures and increase nerve pressure. See our Text Neck blog.
• Encourages children to thrive by supporting digestive strength.
  • Chiropractic helps with a wide range of digestive ailments from stomach aches to colitis. Constipation is one of the most common things we see in babies and children. Chiropractic adjustment can keep your child having regular Bowel movements.
• To diminish nerve interference which may impact their child’s capacity to learn and concentrate.
  • Multiple case studies on ADD/ADHD improving with chiropractic treatments. When there is nerve pressure to any of the nerves in the upper cervical area, it can create an overwhelming sensation, and the result is not paying attention to learning or the ability to concentrate. Read several case studies here.
• To promote body balance – helping to resolve poor posture, asthma, allergies and bed-wetting...
  • When a nerve has pressure on it it can become hypersensitive, and it creates a sensitivity to certain things and produces an allergy. When the nerve pressure is removed, the sensitivity tends to reduce greatly. Chiropractic helps to remove nerve pressure to reduce allergies, asthma symptoms, and even enuresis (bed wetting). See several case studies of each here.
• To help kids stay fun and light-hearted.
  • Happy Kids are the best! When the body is under nerve stress it can create mood troubles and a sense of negativity. Removing the stress allows the body to be more free and happy.
