How Can a Family Chiropractor Help Your Entire Family?

Life can be full of so many physical and emotional challenges, at every age. A family chiropractor is able to assess, address and provide relief and treatment for everyone in your family. From newborns to seniors, family chiropractors are trained to treat common infant concerns, boost healthy childhood development, and provide relief for the adult years and beyond.

At TruCentered Chiropractic Care, we focus on the common denominator with all of our patients: balancing the nervous system. A well-functioning nervous system can help to support overall health and well-being as we grow, develop and adapt to the changing world around us.

Chiropractic Care for Infants

Chiropractic care for infants is arguably one of the safest, most natural and holistic approaches to treating various conditions in newborns. Common conditions in newborns are often due to their adaptability to the new outside world. As chiropractors, we help to balance their little nervous systems which can help with their adjustment to their new world. Many newborn concerns are not only common but can be easily treated by chiropractors using gentle adjustments that provide effective treatment.

Some of these common infant conditions include:

  • Breastfeeding & latch issues - spinal and cranial misalignments may interfere with proper breastfeeding and latching
  • Colic - a nervous system that is not optimally communicating and functioning may cause colic in newborns
  • Digestion issues - nerve system functioning, latch issues and breastfeeding difficulties can all cause feeding, digestion and constipation concerns
  • Sleep issues - digestion, colic and adaptability to the outside world can all impact a newborn’s sleep patterns
  • Supporting healthy growth and development - muscular tone, movement patterns and meeting milestones can all be addressed with a chiropractor
  • Torticollis - fetal positioning in the womb and birth trauma can impact the growth, shape and proper development of a baby’s head

Chiropractic Care for Childhood & Adolescence

As infants and toddlers enter childhood and enter adolescence, there are so many changes and developments that their bodies and mind undergo. Chiropractic care can help your growing kids adapt to these changes so that they can adjust with ease and thrive physically, emotionally and socially.

Chiropractic care can help growing children and adolescents in some of the following ways:

  • Attention and concentration - ADHD and other attention-related concerns can often be the result of an overstimulated nervous system
  • Managing chronic conditions - headaches, scoliosis, ear infections and allergies can all be treated and managed holistically with chiropractic care
  • Postural changes - as children’s bones grow, the spine may be impacted which may ultimately affect the nervous system
  • Sleep benefits - spinal adjustments that help to balance the nervous system can improve sleep health which is essential for both physical and cognitive growth and development
  • Sports-related injuries - pain and muscle relief can be treated using both a non-invasive and holistic approach which helps to speed up the healing process for acute sports-related injuries
  • Supporting healthy growth and development - gentle adjustments to the spine and nervous system can help your child meet milestones and adapt to developmental changes

Chiropractic Care for the Adult Years & Beyond

As we age into adulthood and the golden years, our bodies continue to evolve and change. Many of these changes may cause pain, muscular tightness, weakened immune systems and above else: stress and anxiety! Chiropractors are equipped to help support adults and seniors with careful and intentional chiropractic adjustments that are designed to help strengthen, release and balance all of the essential parts of the body.

Some of the ways chiropractic care can help adults and the aging population include:

  • Boost mood - chiropractic care can combat stress, anxiety and depression
  • Improve balance - holistic chiropractic care can help to balance and strengthen the muscles and joints to improve movement patterns and balance to avoid future injury
  • Improve joint mobility - chiropractic adjustments release tight muscles and tendons to improve range of motion and flexibility
  • Manage chronic conditions and illness - gentle and effective spinal adjustments can help to balance the nervous system and strengthen the immune system to manage chronic conditions such as arthritis and diabetes
  • Postural alignment - chiropractic adjustments can correct postural issues which may cause muscle tension, headaches and back pain
  • Relieving back discomfort - chiropractic adjustments can alleviate back pain that may be associated with habitual movement patterns, degenerative disc issues, postural alignment or injury

Throughout our lifespan, the human body undergoes so many changes, both physically and mentally. But the message is clear: regardless of age, the overall goal is to find balance in the nervous system to support overall health, well-being and adaptability.
