The Importance of Having Your Child Visit a Chiropractor from a Young Age

Chiropractic care is a holistic approach to health and well-being. Restoring the spine’s proper alignment is essential to a variety of the body’s functions. Children can benefit in many ways by visiting a pediatric chiropractor regularly.

Chiropractic care is a safe and effective treatment and will assist in the foundation of proper growth and development. The nervous system is responsible for everything in the body, so when it can communicate efficiently, the body can function properly and at a high level.

At the beginning of a child’s life, there are six times a spinal examination is important:

• After the baby is born
• When the baby begins holding his or her head up
• When the baby sits up
• When the baby begins to crawl
• Starts to stand
• Starts to walk

It is also important to note that a baby's spine grows 50 percent during the first year of his or her life. At Arc of Life Chiropractic Natural Health Group, our pediatric chiropractor has years of experience working with families in Ottawa, ON
