Pediatric Chiropractic Care in Keller

A pediatric chiropractor in Keller can offer unparalleled benefits. Chiropractic care for kids can help to restore function, resolved health problems, and even be preventative in nature. Adjustments are made with the use of gentle pressure, specific to your child’s age and body type. This can be as light as the pressure used to identify a ripe tomato, or rubbing your eyes when you are sleepy. ​

A child’s body is always growing and therefore is under a lot of stress. Some misalignments occur while the child is still in the womb. A child is curled up inside the mother and then stretched and pulled during birth. This is a lot of force on such a small baby and can lead to an imbalance in their bone structure. There are many different conditions and any interruption in the spine is capable of interfering with the child’s nervous system. A functioning nervous system is crucial to having optimal health.

Chiropractic Care For Kids in Keller

Regular chiropractic care can be very helpful for your child. Following birth, there is a lot of physical stress in the baby's life. Toddlers learning to crawl and walk end up falling many times. There is a lot of trial and error that takes a toll on their young bodies.

From the toddler to child stage, poor posture along with more physically demanding sports and heavier loads to carry is introduced into the equation. Children also deal with more and more stress as they grow. Soon enough your children will be getting their first job that, in a lot of cases, demands physical labor. They will grow up fast and their body will undergo more and more wear and tear.

It is important that we be extremely specific to each child. Whether a newborn or a high school athlete, it is truly a Chiropractic art to be able to use your hands to identify misalignments (Subluxation) in a child and then to realign the involved structures to their proper position.

Current health data suggests that “for the first time in history, U.S. children are sicker than the generation before them. They’re not just a little worse off, they are precipitously worse off physically, emotionally, educationally, and developmentally.” (Judy Converse, MPH, RD, LD).

Our mission at McIntyre Family Chiropractic is to reverse this trend!
