Children and Teens

Growing children means growing adventures! As children begin to participate in regular childhood activities like bike riding, skating, and sledding, small yet significant spinal misalignments may occur. If neglected, the injuries during this period of rapid growth and development may lead to more serious problems later in life. Subtle trauma throughout childhood could affect the future development of the spine leading to impaired nervous system function. Any interference to the vital nerve system will adversely affect the body’s ability to function at its best.

 

Dr. Jennifer treats many children with a variety of conditions; bed wetting, ADHA, attitude/behavioral issues, skin conditions/eczema, ear infections, sinus problems/allergies and common colds just to name a few. There are also many families that come in just for monthly maintenance check up to make sure those ambitious children with growing spines are being able to optimally develop!!

It is important to understand that the Dr. Jennifer does not cure these conditions or diseases. Rather, Dr. Jennifer is in checking the child’s spine for misalignments that impair nervous system function therefore affecting overall body function. The bones of the spine, the vertebrae, house and protect the spinal cord. The spinal cord is an extension of the brain and carries information from the brain to the body parts and back to the brain again. Subluxations interfere with the nerves’ ability to transmit this vital information.

The nerve system controls and coordinates the function of all the systems in the body: circulatory, respiratory, digestive, hormonal, eliminative and immune system. Any aspect of health may be impaired by nerve interference. The chiropractic adjustment restores nerve system function allowing the body the ability to express a greater state of health and well-being.
