As a parent, you want the best for your child—especially when it comes to their health and well-being. But when it comes to chiropractic care for children, many parents have questions about safety and benefits. At Ascend Chiropractic in Lincoln, NE, we specialize in gentle, effective care for patients of all ages, including kids. Let’s explore why chiropractic care is not only safe but also beneficial for children.
What Is Pediatric Chiropractic Care?
Pediatric chiropractic care involves gentle, tailored adjustments designed to improve spinal alignment and nervous system function in children. Unlike the adjustments performed on adults, these techniques use minimal force and are adapted to suit a child’s unique needs.
Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Kids
-
Improved Posture: With the rise of screen time and heavy backpacks, poor posture has become a common issue among children. Regular chiropractic care can help maintain proper spinal alignment, preventing long-term problems.
-
Support for Growing Bodies: Kids experience rapid growth, and their bodies are constantly changing. Chiropractic care can ensure their musculoskeletal system develops correctly, reducing the risk of misalignments.
-
Relief from Common Ailments: From colic and ear infections in infants to headaches and sports injuries in older kids, chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate discomfort and improve overall health.
-
Boosted Immune Function: A well-aligned spine supports a healthy nervous system, which plays a critical role in immune function. This can help your child better fight off illnesses.
Is It Safe?
Yes! Chiropractic care for children is both safe and effective when performed by trained professionals. At Ascend Chiropractic, our team of ART Elite Providers, including Dr. Brian Bayer and Dr. Rob Lane, are skilled in working with young patients. We use gentle techniques designed specifically for kids, ensuring a comfortable and positive experience.
When Should My Child See a Chiropractor?
Here are some common scenarios where chiropractic care may benefit your child:
-
After a difficult birth to address any strain on the neck or spine

If they experience frequent ear infections or colic

To improve posture or address growing pains
