Pediatric Adjustments
You don't typically think of a child as needing a childrens chiropractor adjustment. You think of that when you picture an adult. Some children, however, could benefit from seeing a pediatric chiropractor.
At Four Points Family Chiropractic, serving Austin, TX, and the nearby region, we offer care for children and would like to explain the process and benefits.
What Are Pediatric Adjustments?
A youth chiropractor is here to help children stay healthy. A pediatric adjustment, like those for adults, serves the purpose of correcting subluxations or misalignments of the spine. They can happen during as a child ages and plays hard.
The process is done manually by a pediatric chiropractor applying gentle force on the spine. As a child gets older and grows, more force may be necessary, but it's still gentle.
Benefits of Pediatric Adjustments
Spinal subluxations may occur in children and these might hinder their nervous system function. A child may experience minor aches and pains as a result of the subluxations.
Our adjustments can help optimize nervous system function in order to help with the aches and pains. This nervous system improvement may even help assist with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
We may also recommend them if your child sustains an injury that causes a misalignment. These adjustments can be used as "maintenance." Even if your child isn't experiencing problems now, they could in the future. With car from a childrens chiropractor, we can help ward off those issues.
Safety
Chiropractic adjustments administered by a trained youth chiropractor are generally safe for children. Complications are rare and a pediatric chiropractor on our team will thoroughly evaluate your child and his medical history before providing any treatment.
