The Right Time to Get Your Child Evaluated

Hey, guys. Dr. Greg at Paramount Chiropractic.

So, you may ask the question, “When is the right time, or when should I bring my child to the chiropractor to get evaluated?” And the easiest answer is right now.

You don’t have to have a condition or a problem to get your child checked out. What we do is look for areas in the spine that are subluxated or misaligned, causing dysfunction through that brain-and-body connection called your nervous system, which controls every cell, tissue, organ, and function in your body.

Chiropractic Care During Infancy

Some people bring their child in during infancy. Maybe they had some birth trauma, or they have ear infections, colic issues, or constipation.

As Children Learn to Crawl and Walk

As kids grow into toddlers and start to learn to crawl and walk—and fall a lot—that can cause dysfunction and misalignments in the spine. It can cause them to be uncomfortable or irritable. Maybe they’re not sleeping well at night.

So, we check them and just want to optimize the function of the body. We’re not putting anything into the body. We’re not taking anything away. We’re just removing interference so that the body can function the way it’s supposed to.

School-Age Children and Teenagers

As they get into school age and their teenage years, there are other stressors: heavy backpacks, playing sports, or maybe they have scoliosis that you want to get checked out. Before that becomes a bigger problem, we can help with these issues.

Wellness Care and Prevention

So, if your child is struggling with any type of issue, bring them in, and we can check them out. For wellness care purposes, they don’t have to have a problem.

What do they say? An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. So, the quicker you get ahead of these things so they don’t turn into bigger problems down the road, the better way to manage your own health and your child’s health.

You don’t have to have a specific condition to come to the chiropractor. We can evaluate your child for wellness care and wellness adjustments, and just optimize their function so they have great health and don’t have problems down the road.
