Infants
At The Healing Space in Sumner, WA, we believe that everyone can benefit from chiropractic care, including little ones. As beautiful and miraculous the birthing process is, it can also be a traumatic experience for a baby’s nervous system, which could lead to colic, constipation, asymmetries in head shape, trouble sleeping, acid reflux, and breast feeding dificulties, to name a few. About 65% of a child’s neurologic growth and development occurs within the first year of life, which is why getting chiropractic care can ensure that they have a well functioning nervous system that helps them regulate these stressors. We use a gentle and specific approach to adjusting their spines and the amount of pressure is usually no more than the amount of pressure you use to check how ripe a tomato is!
Children
As your child grows and develops, it is important to keep their nervous system functioning at its highest capacity, so they can continue to adapt to all of the changes they go through. Many kids are also vey active in sports and recreational activities, which can sometimes lead to injuries, and may even cause some spinal misalignments. Having your child’s spine checked regularly can help in their continuous growth and develpoment, helping them express more health and vitality. Chiropractic care can also help keep their immune systems strong and robust.
