Guide to Pediatric Chiropractic Care
When you have children, two of the main things you want are for them to be happy and healthy in life. Sadly, this doesn’t always happen, as many things can interfere with these goals. However, as parents, we can take steps to improve our chances of keeping our children healthy and helping them recover as easily as possible when something happens – and one of those steps is seeking pediatric chiropractic care. Dr. Bost and the team at Brookwood Chiropractic in Oklahoma City, OK, explain how such care can help below.
Your Child’s Musculoskeletal System
From the time your little one makes their way into the world, their tiny bodies can be affected. Traveling through the birth canal, tumbling when learning to walk, falling on the playground, playing sports, leaning over devices, and sitting at school desks can all take a toll on the musculoskeletal system.
It’s not unusual for children and teens to live with a spinal misalignment, soft tissue injury, or a stiff joint that no one is aware of. However, that doesn’t stop these things from creating pain, disrupting play or sports performance, making it difficult to focus, causing trouble sleeping, and much more.
How a Pediatric Chiropractor Can Help
Pediatric chiropractors can assess your child’s full musculoskeletal system, whether your child is an infant, teenager, or anywhere in between. This assessment can point out troubled areas that might be causing your child pain or discomfort, contributing to mood or movement problems.
Once troubled areas are identified, a pediatric chiropractor will employ gentle methods, such as instrument-assisted or Thompson drop-table adjustments, to correct any issues. They can then provide therapeutic exercises, nutritional guidance, and recommendations for lifestyle adjustments that can improve your child’s health and well-being.
