Chiropractic does not directly treat sickness. However, when subluxations are treated, your child’s body will be better equipped to combat infections, viruses and other illnesses. Children (and adults) tend to experience stronger immune systems when adjusted regularly. Because chiropractic boosts the immune system, more and more parents are seeking pediatric chiropractors to treat an assortment of childhood ailments. Not to mention, approximately 1/3 of children in the United States are on prescription medications. All medications have side effects. It is our priority at ADJUST to help your children live drug-free lives, as was intended. During your child’s initial consultation and evaluation, we will discuss health history, goals for care, and explain more specifically how chiropractic can help.
