We frequently share about the little ones we see at the office and different reasons that parents seek out chiropractic care. Things like sleep difficulties, constipation, ear infections, and more are challenges that we see (and can help with!) on a regular basis.
But, chiropractic care is about ๐ฆ๐ข ๐บ๐๐ฐ๐ต ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ than just care for specific conditions! Regular, wellness-based care truly supports proper nervous system functioning, leading to optimal health and well-being.
The adults and children that we see who have the best results with chiropractic care are the ones who use it as a wellness tool. They aren't waiting until something goes wrong, something hurts, etc. But, we realize this isn't an option for everyone, all of the time! So we often tell parents that at a mฬฒiฬฒnฬฒiฬฒmฬฒuฬฒmฬฒ, it's important to have their little ones evaluated and adjusted at certain developmental milestones. As their nervous systems are wiring and firing and creating new movement patterns and muscle development, it's crucial that their brain and body are communicating properly!
These ๐ฅ๐๐๐ข๐ ๐ ๐๐ก๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ฆ๐ง๐ข๐ก๐๐ฆ in the first 1-2 years include (but aren't always limited to):
-ASAP after birth (especially if born via C-section)
-Holding their head up
-Starting to roll
-Sitting independently
-Beginning to crawl
-First steps
And the between-milestones periods if things are off and/or if challenges arise... these are important times to get them in to see us, too!
