Chiropractic Care for Children in Mississauga

Children who are under regular Chiropractic care have shown considerable improvements in focus, function and development. A great example of this is a study that took place in the Kentucky House of Reform in 1931. The study included 244 adolescent boys who were incarcerated by the state because of criminal or behavioural problems. These same boys were all given Chiropractic care during their stay there and nearly 100% of the population showed improvement in behavior and conduct. 144 out of the 244 improved to the point of being released from custody following a period of Chiropractic care. This shows a great example of the connection between Chiropractic, the brain and mental health. These benefits can be achieved in a child with or without the presence of pain.

What Are The Benefits of Chiropractic Care?

All of this is due to the very intimate relationship that the spine has with the brain and the central nervous system. Spinal health directly influences the function and healing that happens in the entire body. This means that Children under regular Chiropractic care report improvement in many different symptoms and health conditions as well. Evidence has shown improved performance and concentration in school and extracurricular activities as a result of improvement in spinal health.

We understand that there can be hesitancy with having a child undergo an adjustment because of how delicate the spine is. A great way to understand the benefit of regular adjustments comes from the connection between being proactive versus reactive. It’s inevitable that the body undergoes physical trauma on a regular basis, which leads to spinal stress as early as the birthing process. Research shows that newborns can suffer from micro-trauma during the birthing process that can slightly alter the position and movement of segments in the upper neck. What seems like insignificant birth trauma can lead to subtle misalignment that induces stress to the central nervous system directly. Left undetected and without correction, this stress can contribute to a number of unwanted symptoms that are common in infants and children today. Chiropractic then becomes a viable option for prevention (proactive) of symptoms and disease rather than leading to reactive decisions such as drugs or surgery. A dose of prevention can stop symptoms from progressing into adult years.

Hope for the future generations begins with first understanding and recognizing that the body has an inborn power to heal itself and produce greater long-term solutions than any of the temporary ones people rely on today. All of this must be done by presenting the body with the greatest environment it can achieve. Chiropractic offers the most effective form of natural health care that is available to us today. A study from 2016 shows that Chiropractic adjustments have influenced change in the pre-frontal cortex of the brain. This part of the brain is responsible for all high-order, executive functions. This includes focus, control, concentration, learning and personality. The study showed that a single Chiropractic adjustments can improve the function of the pre-frontal cortex by 20%. Imagine the impact this can have on a developing child!

As the summer comes to an end and children start preparing for a new school year in the next few weeks, children deserve to be at their best and perform at their best in these formative years. They deserve an advantage through Chiropractic care, which provides them a healthy brain-to-body communication. Children under regular Chiropractic care experience immeasurable benefits that can range from improved immune function, more energy, improved sleep patterns and better focus in school.
