Chiropractic & Kids

5 Reasons for kids to see a Lake Forest Pediatric Chiropractor

1. Birth Creates trauma. Many births can be complicated and lead to hours if not days of pushing and compressing a babies developing body.

All these cause trauma to the spine of a newborn creating subluxations and spinal cord damage that can be silent for years. In lake forest pediatrics Chiropractic treatment improves the spinal adjustment of the new-born, helping them to recover from the birth-trauma.

Rapid physical and chemical changes during pregnancy can aggravate existing spinal problems and can make the spine and pelvis unstable through relaxation of the ligaments.
