Why Kids Bounce Back Differently Than Adults
Children’s spines are flexible and resilient, but they’re not immune to stress. Heavy backpacks, long hours of screen time, or bumps and falls in sports can all influence posture and alignment. Kids may bounce back faster than adults, but small misalignments at an early age can create habits that affect them later.
Adults, on the other hand, often recover more slowly because stress, repetitive work habits, or past injuries accumulate over time. Chiropractic care for both children and adults focuses on helping the spine move properly so the nervous system can function without interference.
Encouraging healthy posture and regular spinal check-ups early in life may help protect long-term health. The habits built during childhood often carry forward, making it easier to stay active, resilient, and balanced as the years go on.
