What is more important than the health of you and your family?
What is more important than the health of you and your family? We at Nova Spinal Care encourage spinal check-ups for all ages, including infants and children. A pediatric spinal assessment often differs from that of an adult. A modified assessment including observation and gently palpation will often indicate whether or not a misalignment is present. Children are generally quick to respond to care and require fewer adjustments due to the fact that their misalignment has typically been present for a short period of time.
Since children are not exempt from physical, mental and chemical stressors, it is essential that their spine and nervous system be assessed to ensure they grow up to be strong and healthy individuals. In children, misalignments do not always manifest as pain or discomfort. In fact, when adults experience such symptoms, it is often due to a misalignment that has been present long before symptoms appeared...perhaps since childhood. Ear infections, colic/irritability, poor sleep and poor posture are some signs that you child's spine and nervous system are already being taxed.
Just a regular dental check-ups contribute to a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums, regular spinal check-ups by your Chiropractor will ensure your child's nervous system and spine are working optimally so that they can express their optimal potential!
