If you are familiar with chiropractic care, you understand that the body has an internal system, or inner doctor, working to heal itself. This healing can be enhanced through chiropractic treatment to correct subluxations, resulting in health and wholeness from deep within. Is it any wonder that family chiropractic treatment has become the most popular drug-free profession in the world?
No matter the age or type of activity, each age group has particular conditions that they face. Family chiropractors offer a unique treatment method that helps to combat the various health issues that arise during the different stages of life.
Who Benefits From Family Chiropractic Treatment?
1. Young children/infants (and pregnant mothers) – Due to the falls a child experiences (such as learning to walk, run, ride bicycles, etc.), very young children and infants are more likely to have postural difficulties. Earaches are also more prevalent due to the early weakness of the neck and muscles. In addition to standard pediatric care, chiropractic treatment for children teaches them that there is a drug-free approach to health. For pregnant mothers, it offers a more comfortable pregnancy and a healthier baby, free of subluxations.
2. Pre-teens/Teenagers – Family chiropractors typically check for scoliosis in younger adolescents and teenagers and offer conservative treatment at the time of earliest onset. Many symptoms are generally attributed to growing pains. Because children’s recuperative powers are typically at their highest level, they will respond much quicker to treatment than adults with the same symptoms. However, if these mild spinal conditions are left untreated, they will become more serious with each passing year.
3. Age 20's to 30's –Lower back problems, neck pain, and headaches are all very common in young adults, caused by poor posture, poor lifting and bending habits, the stress of jobs, auto accidents, and etc. These conditions will last a lifetime if they are ignored.
4. Age 40’s and older – As people get older, the conditions become more obvious. Family chiropractic care can help older adults obtain increased energy, mobility and help prevent drug dependence. Unfortunately, the majority of these conditions were caused by not correcting spinal problems that may have occurred many years ago.
