Our Chiropractor Can Help Your Children Thrive

It is never too early to benefit from a healthy musculoskeletal system. If you would like your children to experience optimal spinal wellness and development, or if you are looking for natural remedies for common childhood ailments, you will be happy to know that our team at Reimer Wellness Center offers pediatric care alongside our holistic care services for adults and seniors.

Why does chiropractic health matter even early in life? The first years are the most formative ones for growth and development; in fact, the spine grows by a whopping 50 percent during the very first year. Misalignments may even be present from birth, which is why chiropractors have been known to perform gentle adjustments as needed on newborns. As your child starts to crawl, then walk, the spine starts to absorb impacts from various bumps and spills, and little misalignments now can cause big trouble later. Scoliosis is another issue best dealt with from as young an age as possible. Our chiropractor, Dr. Reimer, can diagnose scoliosis during a child's spinal screening and then offer recommendations for treatment.

Did you know that spinal alignment and nerve function play a role not only in posture but also in many of the health issues that affect children? For example, an increasing number of kids are diagnosed with ADHD every year, and many of them end up on a cocktail of medications to control the disorder. But this variety of hyperactivity is often caused by nerve signals misfiring between brain and body, creating a riot of stimuli that lead to distractibility and short attention span. Childhood asthma and allergies may also be caused or worsened by misalignment issues. When we correct the spine, we correct the problem.
