Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care makes a powerful impact on children. The spine has a vital relationship to all functions of the body. If we can ensure the health and strength of the spine while growing, we can support the well-being of future generations. A spinal adjustment done on a child uses the amount of pressure that one would use to grip a tomato. The doctors in our office are leaders in the field of chiropractic care for children and have specific post graduate certifications qualifying them to administer care to children of all ages.
Our goal at Westwood Family Chiropractic is to support the well-being of future generations. From the birth process onward, our spines and nervous systems are subjected to a multitude of forces which can cause misalignments in the spine, called subluxations. Subluxations set the stage for reduced well-being and future health problems. Specific and gentle spinal adjustments allow a child’s spine and nerve system to grow and develop to its optimal potential.
