Chiropractic for Kids
At Lifesource, one of our greatest gifts is to have the opportunity to work with pregnant women and with children. We recognize that the prenatal period and early years of a child’s life are vitally important times for the development of the nervous system and the future wellbeing of our children.
From before birth, until the age of five, a child’s nervous system is growing and learning at an astonishing rate. Our physiological, movement, emotional, self esteem and thought patterns are neurospinal behavior habits learned in early life.
When our bodies and our chilldren’s bodies are exposed to stress (physical, chemical or emotional), tension can be stored in the tissues of the body and the spine. These tension patterns can hold the body in less than optimal behavioural patterns and interfere with the expression of health and vitality in the body.
As chiropractors we provide gentle adjustments to assist the body in releasing stored tension, allowing the flow of vital information over the nervous system and the expression of energy in the body. We aim to help children to process and integrate their life stresses and experiences over the short term, so that tension does not accumulate over the long-term. This maximizes the opportunity for healing, learning, growth and development as children go through their lives.
Every parent has an interest in promoting the health and well-being of their children. In our Health Care system today most of the resources are devoted to managing symptoms, sickness and disease at the end stage of these processes. Few Health Care resources are directed to health promotion and disease prevention before health concerns surface. At Lifesource we offer a unique form of Health and Wellness Care to help people achieve optimal health and well-being in the present so they can live healthy and fulfilled lives into the future.
The Chiropractic profession has a long history of helping children and families live healthy and happy lives. Chiropractic has helped many children heal ottitis media (ear infections), colic symptoms, asthma symptoms, ADHD and many other common childhood ailments.
You take your car for regular maintenance, you get your children’s teeth checked regularly… when was the last time you had your child’s spine and nervous system checked by a professional? Don’t wait for your child to have symptoms, call us today.
