How chiropractic care can benefit your children

When it comes to caring for children, many of today's parents want to keep their kids safe, happy, and healthy while avoiding invasive medical treatment or relying on prescription medication. Chiropractic treatment offers parents an effective and gentle way to relieve many medical conditions - and it is safe for children. Read on to explore the benefits of chiropractic care for children. 

How Our Scottsdale, AZ Chiropractor Helps Children 

Children of all ages can receive treatment from a chiropractor, so long as he or she adjusts the pressure used to a safe level for the child. At Secrest Family Chiropractic, PC, our staff has received training on how to work with children. We can perform simple modifications to basic adjustment methods so that pressure used is appropriate for your kids. This treatment is safe for use on children, and offers a complementary treatment method or alternative method to traditional medical care. 

Children can benefit from chiropractic care for a range of medical conditions, including: 

• Neck and back pain
• Recovery after injury, such as sports or playground accident
• Headaches or migraines
• Misalignment of joints, muscles, or bones as a result of growth spurts
• Nervous and immune system disorders

Regular care can help your child experience fewer colds or ear aches, improve your child's sense of coordination and balance, and set your child on a path to good health by modeling good wellness habits. Our staff is trained on working with children, and will help make the chiropractor's visit a fun experience for your kids. 

During an initial consultation, our chiropractor, Dr. Daniel Secrest, DC, of Scottsdale, AZ will talk to your child about how treatments will work, demonstrate adjustment tools to get your child used to the process, and perform an initial new patient screening. This can demystify the process, which is important for sensitive or young children who may be nervous in the doctor's office. Call 480-994-4411 now to make an appointment for your child, or to get answers to any additional questions that you have.
