Chiro for Your Kids
At our office, we firmly believe that chiropractic care is not exclusive to adults. Children, too, can greatly benefit from regular chiropractic checkups. We take immense pride in seeing our office filled with happy and healthy kids. Our approach emphasizes early health and wellness appointments for children. Nurturing their nervous system from an early age sets the stage for a healthy and healing lifestyle throughout life. Optimal wellness for the entire family is within reach by prioritizing your child's nervous system.
Sometimes people are confused about why you would take a seemingly healthy kid to the chiropractor when they don’t have any pain.
There are a couple reasons for this misconception. The first is that often chiropractic is often inaccurately equated with pain relief. Actually, the way Dr. Lara practices, our approach to chiropractic helps reconnect to the source of health in your child’s body with a clear, healthy nervous system, rather than removing a symptom. That means everything functions better! Additionally, by doing so, it is so much more than pain that can be helped! A lot of people don’t realize that it is very common for asthma, allergies, bedwetting, ADHD, autism, colic and migraines to be helped with gentle chiropractic care. Why? Because you just don’t see those kinds of things showing up when someone has a clear, healthy spine and nervous system.
Another major concern for kids these days is the development of “tech neck.” With kids spending so much time on devices and looking down at their phones. This posture is very hard on your body, not only from a musculoskeletal standpoint! The tone of your nervous system is dependent on the position of your head and spine. Forward head posture interferes with healthy function, as well as mood, energy, and behavior. Limiting screen time and modeling healthy posture while on devices helps. Chiropractic care is essential to help adapt to these modern day stressors.
In our office we don’t “crack” any bones, but instead use a precise and nurturing analysis to determine specific areas where gentle contacts can make a global impact on your body’s interconnected parts and functions. People are often surprised by how such a gentle touch can make such a difference physically, musculoskeletally, energetically, emotionally, organically, and more. The key is that Dr. Lara uses specificity and precision rather than force. That means that if you’re concerned about traditional higher force chiropractic approaches, take heart, there is a great option for you and your little one.
To all our parents, we extend our heartfelt appreciation for giving your children the greatest gift of all: a clear, healthy nervous system and the foundation for lifelong thriving health. We take immense pride knowing that the babies, kiddos and teens are equipped with the healthiest bodies, brains, and nervous systems possible. They are less likely to show up in another doctor or chiropractor’s office as adults with severe concerns, and more likely to live a more naturally healthy and vital life now.
We are filled with gratitude, knowing that their brightly shining inner light has been made possible by their parents' unwavering trust in us with their care, and encouraging a healthy lifestyle. As a result, as these children enjoy their summer, they will be protected from lasting effects of their bumps and bruises, and soon as they look ahead to the school year to come, they are not only poised to excel academically but also possess resilient nervous systems that can effectively adapt to stress and change, and with robust immune systems.
