KIDS WILL BE KIDS! Kiddo care is vital to the human experience. The reasons for children receiving chiropractic in Coeur D'Alene ID are vast, however, one key point stands out than the rest. Almost as an overarching theme, when we go over a new patient’s X-rays in the office, we are always asked, “How did my spine get like that?”

Amazed by the trauma, damage, and wear and tear, it’s clear that the human body must adapt to the stressors of life, and we begin to wonder what the heck caused this mess. Our response typically goes like this “Well, life is what caused it. That is why we care for a lot of children in the office. The sooner we can check someone for subluxations, the better. Healthy kids turn into healthy adults.”

Chiropractic Issues In Kids In Coeur D'Alene ID

It has been well documented and studied that degenerative changes occur in the vertebral disc only two weeks after a trauma. Multiply that trauma by years and sometimes decades, and we discover a lot of damage that needs to be corrected. Not only do the discs need to be aligned for a lifetime, but there are innumerable amounts of neurological changes that occur in a kid.

Movement patterns, autonomic actions, and hormonal changes require a nerve system that is clear of any interference. A disruption to the ability to regulate oneself results in common conditions we see: ADHD, dietary sensitivities, bedwetting, anxiety, digestion issues, gait issues, etc. But just because they are common does not mean that these are normal. Kids do not just “grow out of it,”; these inappropriate neurological imbalances will actually manifest into other diseases over time. In youth, neuroplastic changes are at their peak, and children need a healthy nervous system for regulation.

Kids need optimal development. Do not wait for your kids to experience the chronicity of life that most adults face. There is a way to break the cycle. It begins with getting kids checked early. In healthcare, we know that the most affordable way to manage our health is with preventive measures. Health/wellness checks are a way you can actively invest in your kid’s health and well-being. From what we know, kids respond well to chiropractic, even if it is just one visit a month. We would be honored to check your Family for optimal health!
