For babies and kids we highly recommend regular, periodic chiropractic care to optimize your child’s general health and wellness. Dr. Martin uses very gentle chiropractic methods to skillfully adjust your child’s skeletal system. This ensures your child will have fewer back problems and musculo-skeletal issues, such as scoliosis or hunchback, in the future. Adjusting a child’s spine when they are young is the best time since their bones are still growing. They have far more elasticity in their skeletal system, which allows your Irvine chiropractor, Dr. Gary Martin to provide gentle and safe adjustments, which is much easier than adjusting adults.

Starting Chiropractic Care at a Young Age Is Optimal

More and more parents are seeking chiropractic care for their children. Many spinal problems seen in adults began as early as birth. Traditional hospital birthing methods can often stress an infant's spine and developing nerve system. The resulting irritation to the nerve system caused by spinal and cranial misalignment can be the cause of many newborn health complaints. Colic, breathing problems, nursing difficulties, sleep disturbances, allergic reactions and chronic infections can often be traced to stress on the nervous system.

Since significant spinal trauma can occur at birth, many parents have their newborns checked right away for spinal misalignment. As the infant grows, their activities affect their spinal alignment (learning to hold up their head, sit, crawl and walk, fall on their butt, etc, etc) These are important times to have a child checked by a Doctor of Chiropractic.

One of the most common reasons parents seek care for their child is for some sort of injury and the resulting misalignments may or may not result in immediate pain or symptoms. Regular chiropractic checkups can identify potential spinal problems caused by these injuries, make the correction early in life and help avoid many of the health complaints seen later in adulthood. Just like getting regular dental checkups, proper spinal hygiene is an important key to better health.
