Are you looking for a proactive approach to maintain your child’s health?
Chiropractic adjustments can provide a natural and effective approach to raise the quality of life of infants, children and teenagers. Overall improvement in wellbeing has been reported for children who receive regular chiropractic adjustments.
A great way to understand why children can benefit from regular chiropractic care can be found when you look at the difference between proactive and reactive health routines.
A common belief is that when your body has have no signs of pain or symptoms, all is well within. The problem with judging how the body is functioning based on feeling is that feeling can be a poor yardstick to measure wellbeing. How well the body functions is based on more than the absence of disease or symptoms.
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental, and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
A reactive approach to our wellbeing routine is to wait until our physiology breaks down and impacts our daily life, then seek a course of action to correct the damage. A proactive approach to our wellbeing routine is not waiting until compensation is noticed, but instead, making positive choices that will increase our quality of life and inner potential to be enhanced.
If we change our approach from reactive to proactive in the realm of taking care of the wellbeing, regular chiropractic care for children is easier to comprehend.
So, why be proactive with our children’s wellbeing?
Children encounter stress from the day they are born. Stress can negatively effect anyone at any age. So much stress that it can overcome and breakdown our normal physiology into a state of dysfunction and disharmony without us even being aware of the effects.
Children’s bodies have an amazing ability to adapt to stress, but as the demands and expectations increase in our lives, children need positive proactive measures for their wellbeing to adapt to the increase of stressors just like adults do. We can’t entirely rid our lives from stress, but we can utilize tools to make us stronger and more resilient to the demands and obstacles that we encounter daily.
Regular chiropractic adjustments for children can be one proactive choice to raise the quality of life and wellbeing within their resilient bodies. Chiropractic focuses on the structure of the spine being properly aligned. If spinal integrity interferes with neurological function due to misaligned vertebrae, then chiropractic adjustments are used to help bring the spine back into alignment. Misaligned spinal bones that interfere with neurological impulses are termed vertebral subluxations. The objective of the chiropractic adjustment is to reduce vertebral subluxation so the body can have an increase in the resistance to stress allowing more wellbeing within.
