Family Chiropractic Care

Benefits for Children:

Chiropractic care is safe and effective for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Many parents bring their children to a chiropractor for a variety of reasons, including colic, ear infections, asthma, allergies, and ADHD. Chiropractic adjustments can help improve spinal mobility and reduce muscle stress, which can help improve overall function and wellbeing. 

In fact, a study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that children who received regular chiropractic care had fewer ear infections, respiratory infections, and allergies compared to children who did not receive chiropractic care. One study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics in 1998 found that children who received chiropractic care for chronic ear infections had a 6.6% recurrence rate, compared to a 20.4% recurrence rate in children who received antibiotic treatment. The study involved 332 children and was conducted over a six-month period.

Another study published in the Journal of Clinical Chiropractic Pediatrics in 2009 found that chiropractic care was associated with a reduction in respiratory infections in a group of children aged 6 to 13 years. The study involved 36 children and was conducted over a 12-month period.

A study published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine in 2010 found that chiropractic care was associated with a reduction in allergy symptoms in a group of adults with hay fever. The study involved 100 adults and was conducted over a 12-week period.

Chiropractic care can also benefit children who play sports or participate in other physical activities. It can help improve flexibility, range of motion, and overall athletic performance while reducing the risk of injury. In addition, chiropractic care can help children who suffer from headaches or migraines, which can be caused by tension or misalignment in the neck and spine.

Benefits for Adults:

Chiropractic care is not just for children but can also benefit adults. Chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate chronic pain, including back, neck, and joint pain, without the need for surgery or medication. Chiropractic care can also improve overall spinal health, which can help improve posture, reduce the risk of injury, and improve mobility.

In fact, a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that chiropractic care was more effective in reducing neck pain compared to medication. Chiropractic care can also help with a range of conditions, including fibromyalgia, arthritis, and sciatica. Additionally, chiropractic care can help reduce stress and tension, which can have a positive impact on overall mental health and wellbeing.

 A 2017 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that spinal manipulation, the primary treatment used by chiropractors, was effective for acute low back pain, with benefits lasting up to six weeks. (Paige et al., 2017)

A 2012 study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that spinal manipulation was as effective as medication for relieving chronic neck pain, and had fewer side effects. (Bronfort et al., 2012)

Fibromyalgia: A 2014 study published in the Clinical Rehabilitation Journal found that a combination of chiropractic care and exercise was effective for reducing pain and improving quality of life in patients with fibromyalgia. (Moustafa and Diab, 2014)

Benefits for Seniors:

Seniors can also benefit from chiropractic care. As we age, our bodies undergo changes that can affect our spinal health and overall wellbeing. Chiropractic care can help improve mobility, balance, and coordination, which can help reduce the risk of falls and improve overall quality of life.

Chiropractic care can also help reduce the need for medication and surgery, which can have negative side effects and be costly. In fact, a study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that seniors who received chiropractic care had lower healthcare costs and used fewer prescription drugs compared to seniors who did not receive chiropractic care. In addition, chiropractic care can help improve joint health and alleviate pain associated with arthritis.

Benefits for Pregnancy:

Chiropractic care can also benefit women who are pregnant. As the body undergoes significant changes during pregnancy, many women experience back pain and other musculoskeletal issues. Chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate pain and discomfort during pregnancy, and can also help with positioning the baby for an easier and safer delivery.

In fact, a study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that women who received chiropractic care during pregnancy had shorter labor times and fewer complications during delivery compared to women who did not receive chiropractic care. Chiropractic care can also help reduce the need for medication during pregnancy, which can have negative side effects on the developing baby.

Holistic Approach:

Chiropractic care takes a holistic approach to healthcare, which means that it focuses on treating the whole person rather than just the symptoms.

Chiropractic care is a safe and effective form of alternative medicine that can benefit the entire family. From children to adults to seniors, chiropractic care can help improve spinal health, reduce pain, and improve overall quality of life. By considering chiropractic care as a primary healthcare option, individuals and families can experience numerous benefits without the need for surgery or medication.
