How Chiropractic Care can Help Children
Chiropractic Care and Children
At the Atlantic Chiropractic Center we're dedicated to helping children live the healthiest lifestyle and recovering quickly from injuries and accidents. We have a comprehensive approach to wellness that meshes well with children's health and lifestyles, including nutritional counseling, spinal adjustments, and sports massage.
Children's bodies are fine-tooled machines, with every part affecting every other part. Good nutrition helps children to grow, gives them energy, and allows their bodies to heal and to prevent injuries. Our staff will advise you on your child's nutrition, as well as advising supplements that help his immune system to fight off problems such as ear infections, influenza, and the common cold. Once your child's nutritional needs are met, he's more likely to be able to perform well in sports, have a better attention span at school, and enjoy daily exercise which strengthens the muscles as well as the immune system.
A Chiropractor Dedicated to Helping Children
Children who carry backpacks are more prone to backaches, headaches, and other chronic injuries, especially those with spinal misalignment. The heavy weight of the backpack can put pressure on the spine, worsening its condition. Our doctor treats many children with this condition. Gentle spinal manipulation on regular office appointments can put the spinal discs back into alignment, reducing or removing the pain entirely.
In our office, we see many children, from Portsmouth, Dover, Rochester, Hampton, Rye, and areas that border Massachusetts and Maine, suffering from sports injuries. Whether it happens during a team workout or in the middle of a competition, a sports injury will heal much faster with the correct spinal alignment. Correcting a child's misalignment, along with sports massage therapy, helps children to heal faster with less pain. Sports massage alone can be an effective way for children to recover free from pain, often after the very first treatment. This allows the body to heal without children having to use often-dangerous pain medication. Our goal is to help your child to recover completely, with the least amount of pain and inflammation.
