For children of all ages, physical touch is enormously beneficial. Lack of physical contact can lead babies to fail to thrive and cause depression and emotional disorders in growing children. For so many reasons, chiropractic is a great service to provide to any child.
Chiropractic has been regarded for centuries as a vital aspect of a healthy life. Touch is among the first of the senses to develop in newborns, and babies respond positively to human touch both physically and emotionally. Chiropractors understand the special needs of small children and provide soothing services that is nurturing and enjoyable to babies.
Children of all ages can benefit from chiropractic as a stress reducer. Stress has been linked to immune system functionality, and chiropractic has proven benefits in combating illness from asthma to eczema by boosting immunity and reducing stress. In addition, chiropractic provides much-needed human touch that helps to promote healthy emotional development.
Children with special needs can benefit greatly from chiropractic. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, can be regulated with chiropractic by a trained therapist, and many clients report increased ability to focus and maintain better self-control in school with the help of chiropractic. Chiropractic can also help children fall asleep more easily, sleep more soundly and enjoy feelings of alertness all day long.

5 Ways Visiting a Pediatric Chiropractor Can Benefit Your Child
If you are one of the many who think only adults who have sustained a work or auto injury can benefit from chiropractic care, we have something important to share. People of all ages, whether injured or not, can gain a lot from visiting a chiropractor – including young children and teenagers. Below, Dr. Lambert and our team at Lambert Chiropractic And Wellness Center of Lithonia, GA, share just a few reasons to bring your children in for pediatric chiropractic care.
1. Correcting Issues Early
Children’s bodies are constantly growing and changing. They are also often put through the wringer with everything from games on the playground to sports and sitting at school desks. Regular chiropractic care can help address these issues before they have time to create additional ones and impact your child’s quality of life.
2. Improved Sleep
The spinal column has a direct impact on the nervous system, which impacts various factors including sleep. Chiropractic care helps improve nerve function, as well as reduce pain, tension, and stress. This leads to more restful sleep for your child.
3. Stronger Immunity
Chiropractic care isn’t limited to musculoskeletal care. Our office provides education on nutrition, hydration, and stress management, all of which are necessary for getting the immune system the resources it needs and allowing it to function at its best.
4. Better Digestion
Digestion can be impacted by many things, including poor nerve function and poor blood flow. Additionally, when the spinal column is compressed from poor posture, carrying heavy backpacks, and other factors, it can put undue pressure on the stomach. Gentle adjustments help restore nerve function, improve blood flow, relieve stress and tension, and decompress the spinal column, which can improve digestion and reduce tummy pain.
5. Preventing or Reducing Regular Illnesses
In addition to restoring nerve function and blood circulation, which play a role in immunity, adjustments can also improve lymphatic drainage. This helps relieve issues like ear infections, allergies, asthma, and more that often plague children.
