Pediatric Chiropractic Care | Improve Your Child’s Nervous System Function

Pediatric care

We focus on your kids - just like you do.

So many children live below their potential, and often we don’t know what’s holding them back. Coordination, energy, emotions, concentration, immunity, strength… all of these depend on a healthy spine and nervous system!

Typically, we wait for problems to occur in our kids, and then struggle to treat them symptomatically.

We even allow them to develop the same issues we have, that we regret not having dealt with when we could have!

Malfunction and health issues often begin to take root much earlier in life than we realize, but we tend to brush them aside thinking our children will grow out of them, or worse, we assume help can only be found with medicine that turns symptoms off, while ignoring the actual problem.

Regular Chiropractic adjustments help you and your children optimize spinal and neural health.

Many parents see a difference when they carry care beyond symptom and pain relief, because at the centre of our health, wellbeing and potential is having a healthy nervous system. Families who commit to monthly adjustments for their children when they’re well, testify to less sickness and more health in the family, giving their children the potential to reach for the stars!

Helping Children Live Healthy and Vibrant Lives Every Day.

Nothing is more important to us than caring for our next generation. Children today are being diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, ADHD and sensory processing at an alarming rate and the Doctor of Chiropractic has a unique and important role to play, being a spine and nervous system specialist.

The most common Nervous System disorder is the Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC) or Subluxation. Subluxations are spinal malfunctions that impact the nervous system and result in stress and ill health. There are many reasons that every child’s spine and nervous system should be checked by an experienced Chiropractor regularly:

Birth trauma is a very common cause of subluxation, particularly in cases involving interventions (such as C-section , forceps and vacuum extraction) and complications.
Early nervous system function and development is most vital and sets the stage for the rest of a child’s life.
As children grow, learn to crawl and walk, play and become involved in sports – tumbles, falls and traumas happen constantly.
Toxicities such as: sugar, processed foods, medications, and school/social stresses, can overload the nervous system and result in subluxation.
Deficiency of exercise, lack of movement (from sitting hours every day), low intake of Omega 3 & Vitamin D, lack of sleep, and poor nutrition choices, prevent healthy nervous system function.
Chronic poor postures from school desks, computers, video games, TV and phones, impact healthy spinal function and development on an ongoing basis.
Prevention is the best medicine by far. Ensuring your child can grow and function at 100% is more effective, more pleasant, and far cheaper than waiting for malfunction, injury and disease to set in.

Whether your children suffer from chronic conditions such as asthma, allergies, or constipation, or you want to make sure that they are growing and developing optimally, we can help them live the best quality life they can through a healthy spine and nervous system.

A Healthy Spine-Nerve Relationship is Vital, Especially in Children

A little while ago I was in New Jersey on conference – it was the day of a huge snowstorm. There, I met someone I’ve respected for years. I never dreamt I’d meet this man, let alone sit one on one with him. Yet, Dr. Reggie Gold, may he rest in peace, made the time because it was important enough to him.

One of the many issues we discussed involved children. He made a significant impression on me. I always knew how vital a healthy spine-nerve relationship is, especially in children, because childhood is the time we develop our most vital connections for life. Still, hearing this from someone who had been serving thousands of people per week for nearly 50 years, hearing it said with such conviction and purpose from someone who had seen so much, made an indelible impression on me.

Let’s skip forward to a week after the conference when a young child only a couple of months old was brought into my office with a nasty ear infection. B’H in a matter of hours he responded beautifully to a tiny gentle adjustment. That’s not the point of this letter though. This baby carried his head constantly to one side, probably since birth and it wouldn’t take a trained hand to feel the tension this created at the base of his skull, right where the most important life connections are developing.

Why had no one noticed this?

Before my time with Dr. Gold I would have voiced my concern and then I would have let it rest.

Now I can’t leave it at that.

Chiropractic care is unique.

There is no other form of healthcare that concerns itself solely with the relationship between the spine and the nervous system, regardless of what symptoms or lack of symptoms a person is experiencing. The fact is this is THE MOST IMPORTANT part of every human being and IT’S TIME WE STOP NEGLECTING IT, especially in our children – at the time they need it most in their entire lives.

I decided that night I’d do my best to change this situation.

I had the privilege of being touched by a man who has changed the lives of many thousands of people. The least I can do is transmit the life message he passed to me. Please don’t neglect your nervous system.

Please don’t neglect your children.

With all my best wishes,
