The Importance of Chiropractic Care
For Children
- Neural Development is at its highest before the end of a child's second year of life.
- The neuroplasticity of a child's nervous system remains highly influenceable until about age 16.
- Neuroplasticity means the nervous system can change depending on the information-good or bad-that it is given.
- This can have an enormous impact of lifelong health, behavior, and learning.
- Ensuring a nervous system is free from interference during this early stage of development enhances nerve pathway development and optimizes health potential as well as the body's ability to adapt to stress.
Chiropractors don't
just think your child has
Unlimited Potential.
Our job is to unleash it!

Chiropractors don't check and adjust children because something is wrong, but because we want to ensure that everything is right.
By removing Nervous System Interference, Chiropractic optimizes health potential and enhances the body's ability to adapt to stress, which reduces expression of symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions about Kids and Chiropractic
FAQ #1: When should I have my child checked by a chiropractor?
As early as possible!
Because alignment issues can start in utero, and the first trauma to the spine and nervous system often occurs at birth, we recommend having your child's spine checked as soon after birth as possible. Dr. Brooke adjusted both of her girls within minutes after they were born. She has had many families bring their child to be adjusted on their way home from the hospital.
If your child is older...the best time is NOW! It is never to late to get started, but it is better to not wait. As an old proverb says, "As the twig is bent, so grows the tree."
FAQ #2: What if my child does not have pain or symptoms?
Absolutely! Choosing regular chiropractic for all members of your family is a healthy lifestyle choice, just like eating well and being physically active. Once parents understand that chiropractic is about optimizing health and function, many choose regular wellness checkups to be proactive, rather than being reactive one dysfunction and symptoms occur.
FAQ #3: Can chiropractic cure my child's...(fill in the blank)?
It's important to know that chiropractic does NOT cure anything...your child's body does!
Chiropractors are experts in detecting and correcting subluxations, removing interference from the nervous system and allowing your child's body to self-heal and self-regulate.
A body free of nervous system interference can make a huge difference in your child's health as they grow and develop.
