1. Chiropractic Is Safe For the Whole Family

Chiropractic care is a gentle, yet effective type of health care that is safe for your whole family. This includes everyone from newborns to seniors. Like adults, babies and children can suffer from spinal misalignments. Spine misalignments are a common source of several health concerns and can cause unnecessary pain, discomfort, and stress for little ones and adults. Licensed chiropractors can perform gentle, precise adjustments designed for everyone in your family. These adjustments will treat any spinal misalignments and help your family obtain optimal health and wellness.

2. Improve Your Central Nervous System

Your central nervous system controls your body’s functions, which involves telling your body what to do, when, and where. The brain and spine play important roles in ensuring that your nervous system is working properly. When this vital system isn’t working, this can affect the brain to body communications necessary for you to stay healthy. Luckily, a chiropractor can restore your spine misalignments. Indeed, a healthy spine that is properly aligned can effectively communicate with the brain and therefore work as it was intended. Other ways to improve your nervous system include eating healthy, getting regular exercise, and receiving regular adjustments.

3. Improve Your Posture

A major concern today is how often people of all ages spend sitting on a regular basis. Your children likely sit at a desk for hours, while you may sit at work from 9 to 5. This sedentary lifestyle poses several health risks, including to your spine. Poor posture can affect your body’s structure and lead to spinal misalignments. Hunching over also places excessive weight on your spine, shoulders, and joints. Your local chiropractor can perform special adjustments designed to gently and safely restore your body back into proper alignment. In turn, this will improve your posture and reduce any pain you or your family is experiencing.

4. Get Better Rest 

Do you and your family get enough sleep on most nights? If you answered no, then this can potentially lead to various health issues, including lack of focus and a higher risk for illness, obesity, heart attack, diabetes, and stroke.

5. Cost Effective Health Care

When it comes to your family, health is a top priority. Since chiropractic care focuses on whole body health, this treatment can be more affordable compared to traditional care. Indeed, chiropractors use a holistic approach that identifies and treats the root source of their patients’ health conditions. When this source is addressed, the chiropractor can then reduce or remove the patient’s pain, stress, or health conditions. It’s better to view chiropractic care as a long-term investment into your family’s health. This is different from traditional health care that focuses on temporarily addressing symptoms with costly medications and risky, invasive surgeries that don’t always work. Indeed, chiropractic is a worthy investment that provides lasting health and wellness for your family.

Increased Mobility

Loss of mobility is a common complaint among seniors. Unfortunately, a limited range of motion can hold you back from participating in your favorite activities. From golfing to gardening to playing with their grandchildren, mobility is important for seniors to get through life comfortably. Chiropractic care can help seniors make big strides towards restored mobility. By improving flexibility, aligning the joints, and alleviating tightness in the muscles, chiropractic treatment may allow seniors to move with ease. Your chiropractor may also give you strengthening exercises to target weak muscles, which can also improve your range of motion.

Pain Relief

Whether due to an injury or a chronic condition like arthritis, many seniors experience daily pain. Chiropractic treatment can be highly effective in pain management throughout the body. By working to ease tightness and build strength, chiropractic care promotes long-term pain relief for senior patients. Plus, chiropractic care and physical therapy work together in injury prevention. With a lower risk of injury, older adults can be more active while staying safe.

Improved Balance

By improving spinal health and alignment, chiropractic treatment can improve balance in senior patients. Specifically, chiropractic treatments have been shown to stimulate spinal receptors for heightened coordination. Elderly individuals who are at risk for falls can largely benefit from the improved balance in the body that consistent chiropractic care provides.

Overall Wellbeing

Seniors who partake in consistent chiropractic care report several perks to their overall wellbeing. Better quality sleep, improved mood, and higher energy levels can all be attained by older adults who attend regular appointments with their chiropractor. Your chiropractor can also develop a specialized treatment plan to target your individual wellbeing concerns. At Kraft Chiropractic, we offer chiropractic care, that can help seniors lead healthier, more comfortable lives.

How Can Chiropractic Care Help Children

Children need to learn how to crawl, walk, run, and stumble as they develop their bodies. They play a lot and discover things about the world as they grow. These physical activities may stress out and damage a child’s musculoskeletal system. At an early age, their fragile bodies are prone to misalignments and subluxations. These can potentially harm their optimal health and lead to infections, headaches, respiratory problems, and other illnesses. Fortunately, pediatric chiropractors can help alleviate these issues. They are trained to correct these misalignments to help improve a child’s overall health and wellness.

• Pediatric chiropractic care works well for young children as their bodies continue to grow.

• Adjustments release pressure on the spine, bones, and joints to improve a child’s neural brain development.
• These help them secure their body’s proper development and also alleviate any muscle tensions that may lead to various health conditions and physical issues.

Common Conditions For Pediatric Chiropractic Care

They can help address these specific conditions:

• Allergies
• Asperger’s syndrome, autism, and autism spectrum disorders
• Asthma
• Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
• Colic
• Concentration and focus issues
• Digestive issues
• Ear infections
• Headaches
• Irritable baby syndrome
• Sleep issues

Health Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Children

1. Support the Child’s Immune System and Digestive Health

Chiropractic care can boost a child’s immune system. With a healthy immune system, your child will be able to prevent a cold or infection during the sick season. As they grow with strong immunity functions, they’ll be able to fight off certain diseases and viruses that may enter their body. Going to a chiropractor can also improve a child’s digestive health. Chiropractic procedures help improve your child’s ability to manage stomach problems such as constipation or reflux.

2. Improve Sleep

Children of all ages need sound sleep to not only function during the daytime, but also to grow physically and emotionally healthy. Getting enough sleep regularly can improve the attention, behavior, learning, memory, and overall mental and physical health of growing children. However, considering the fragileness of their body, a misaligned spine can ruin it for them. Poor spinal health can cause extensive discomfort during their sleep. Certain tensions in the body can cause insomnia, bedwetting, and other sleeping troubles. Pediatric chiropractic care is effective in releasing stress in the body as well as in boosting a child’s sleeping behavior.

3. Support the Child’s Nervous System

Specialized chiropractic adjustments can ensure that your child’s spine is growing the correct way to benefit the nervous system. This will address and prevent certain nervous system issues like ear infections, as well as respiratory issues like asthma and allergies.

4. Improve Child’s Behavior

Less stress leads to better behavior and health. Releasing stress can go a long way in helping children live a happier, healthier lifestyle. Pediatric chiropractic care is gentle and safe. It’s an effective procedure to: alleviate tense muscles, release stress and improve your child’s physical and mental health, as well as emotional wellbeing.

5. Promote Proper Growth

Babies come with their own set of problems, too. Their bodies are so fragile that their spine may misalign even at the slightest touch. They may struggle to breastfeed or experience reflux. Spinal misalignments can cause colic, trouble latching, or reflux to children, especially infants. As a parent, you may often feel at a loss trying to find ways to ease your child’s pain.

6. Improve Brain Development

Pediatric chiropractic care can significantly improve your child’s neural brain development. It releases pressure on bones, joints, and the spine. Increased brain development promotes better concentration, improves focus, and reduces hyperactivity. In addition, it also targets conditions such as:

• Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Sensory Integration Disorder
• Other neurodevelopmental disorders

7. Improve Overall Health and Wellness

Healthy living ensures your child’s wellness and overall health are at optimum level. With the many benefits of pediatric chiropractic care, you can have more confidence that your child will grow and face the future with a healthy mind and body.
