Chiropractic for kids is extremely important for a child’s overall well-being. It is a safe and very effective way of removing an interference that may be affecting the overall function of your child’s nervous system.
Dr. Martin and Dr. Painter use a very gentle technique to adjust their younger patients because kids’ bones are still forming so they need a light touch when they are being adjusted. Once a child’s spine is in its correct alignment, their metabolism and ability to heal are able to function at its full capacity. Martin Chiropractic is your Chiropractor for Kids!
Chiropractic For Kids
Chiropractic care for kids, especially in infancy, is critical for a child to grow, learn and develop properly. Parents routinely bring their children in for chiropractic care because it is a safe alternative to treating their children without medications. Throughout the first five years of your child’s life, his or her body will produce more neural pathways than it will at any other time. This is why it is vital for your child to receive chiropractic care to optimize this neural pathway production, so each child can achieve their full potential.
Your child’s body will respond to internal and external environmental stresses like germs, temperature changes, toxins, pollen and several other types of stresses he or she comes in contact with, much better with routine chiropractic care. Chiropractic care can free up your child’s nervous system from any spinal interference and will allow their immune system to function more effectively and efficiently.
Infants
You may be unaware, but the birth process is the number one trauma for children. In fact, here at Martin Chiropractic, we have had many parents bring their child in to see us on their way home from the hospital with their newborn.
By starting chiropractic care from the beginning of your child’s life, we can address any injuries or misalignments that may be a direct result of the birth process. The only way for parents to know if an injury has occurred from birth trauma is to bring them in for a chiropractic evaluation from Dr. Martin or Dr. Painter. Also, by beginning chiropractic care as a newborn, we give the child an opportunity for a lifetime of health and well-being. Many parents don’t realize the numerous benefits that chiropractors for kids can provide.

Every child can benefit from routine chiropractic care. Even if your child never seems to have a health issue, minor traumas from falls, bumps, and bruises can eventually create pain or discomfort, or even more serious health issues in their teen or adult years.
