We need to educate all our children on the benefits of healthy living, safety and environmental awareness. All children are born miraculously with the body having the ability to heal itself. It is only through time and the influence of external factors that our bodies lose this ability and take on states of ill health or disease.

We focus on 3 major principles of Chiropractic:
• Our body has the ability to heal itself.
• It is a well-known fact that the brain and nervous system control and coordinate all the functions of the body including the immune system.
• Loss of spinal alignment, balance or function will interfere with the normal function of the nervous system and cause ill health. Chiropractic adjustments restore normal function and allow the body to work towards its optimum potential physically, mentally and socially.
It is important that all our children remain or become DRUG FREE and HEALTHIER.

How safe is Chiropractic for my child?
Chiropractic is one of the safest forms of health care. A baby's spine is very supple during the first few months of life and the Chiropractor applies only a slight pressure to make spinal adjustments. Chiropractic adjustments are painless and will not hurt your child. Chiropractors do not use drugs that sometimes cause more harmful side effects than the progression of the disease itself. Drugs can also create the potential for addiction, even in young children. A Chiropractor does not perform any invasive procedures (such as surgery) which sometimes can have irreversible side effects. Chiropractors have been providing safe and effective care for children for over 100 years. Chiropractic care is wellness care for the health of our future, our children.

Why Chiropractic for my child?
• Because everyday Chiropractors witness miracles in children as they express their optimal potential.
• Because Chiropractors seek to correct the underlying cause of ill health in the child, which is the vertebral subluxation, not its symptoms.
• Because Chiropractors honour the inborn potential of everyone to be truly healthy.
• Because Doctors of Chiropractic choose to care for the child with the disease, not the disease.
• Because a Chiropractor wishes to assist a child rather than intrude; to free rather than control.

When should I take my child to a Chiropractor?
• When you want your child to have all the benefits of a conservative, drugless approach to health care.
• When you want to give your child a head start in good health. Doctors of Chiropractic believe it's much more important to prevent diseases than wait until some illness occurs.
• When you want your child to be the best they can be and fulfill their optimal genetic potential.
• When it doesn't make sense to leave your child subluxated for twenty to thirty years, until they lose their health.

Your child's first visit to a Chiropractor will be a pleasant experience, one without painful injections and procedures, but with plenty of nurturing. A Chiropractor should examine your child for subluxations during that all-important first year of life. Many children become subluxated during the birth process, and also become subluxated from tumbles while learning to sit up or walk. The average child falls twenty five times a day while learning to walk. Improper lifting and carrying of your child can also contribute to spinal subluxations. Your child's spine grows almost 50% in length during that first year ( the equivalent of a six-footer growing to nine feet in just 12 months! ). It's this kind of tremendous growth and developmental changes which make a complete chiropractic examination so important in the early stages of your child's life.
