Care for Children & Infants in Norwich
Children often respond very well to chiropractic care. Many injuries and symptoms that we experience as adults begin when we are in childhood through both falls, collisions and accidents and as a result of the overuse of computers and tablets.
A vital, dynamic childhood supported by good nutrition and mental and physical stimulation has a profound effect on the health and wellbeing of a growing child and results in a vastly better experience in adulthood and throughout life. Those who have poor nutrition or inadequate physical, emotional or mental stimulation when developing have a much greater challenge in reaching their full potential as adults.
Chiropractic care is famous for pain relief in children. It can help with postural repair and can help the growing body to adapt and heal from injuries that arise from daily life such as falls and accidents.
At the heart of chiropractic care is the understanding that good function can only occur if the structure works well and develops properly. Periods of sitting, tablet use, computer games and poor diet all have all shown to change the physical structure of developing children. Chiropractic care can help in reversing and preventing some of these changes.
Safe and Gentle
Individual Care
Parents often tell us that they are not understood when consulting healthcare practitioners in matters relating to their child’s health. Each person is unique and different and so we need to examine and assess each baby and child to understand how their body is functioning poorly. This, together with information parents provide, helps us to find a solution for their child.
Common Conditions We See
Parents often consult us to help find resolution to some of the following problems:
- Birth Trauma: We encourage parents to have their newborn checked as soon after birth as possible. Each birth is unique and may have been different from how you desired. Some children are born easily whilst others can suffer considerably from prolonged labour, difficult birth positions and cranial pressure. In the weeks following birth children develop and grow rapidly and it is essential that this development is as unhindered as possible.
- Cranial Faults: Cranial chiropractic is reported to have helped a large number of newborn babies and infants. Whilst the scientific studies do not show improvement in one specific area, thousands of parents report that it was vital in helping find a solution to health problems and development difficulties.
- ADHD, Asthma & Growing Pains: Other conditions such as ADHD, asthma and growing pains are high on the list for reasons parents consult chiropractors to help with their children. Whilst there are no scientific studies that indicate benefit, many parents report individual benefits and have found chiropractic a helpful component in the overall approach to these conditions.
- Colic, Bedwetting & Ear Infections: Are commonly reported as having been helped by parents whose children suffer.
- Scoliosis: Many parents who are concerned about scoliosis consult a chiropractor to try and reduce the effect or progression of this process. The cause and reasons for scoliosis remain a mystery but it is clear that providing the best posture and spinal function can only be beneficial to this condition.
- Post Surgical Care: Many parents consult chiropractors to support their child’s post-surgical care to ensure that the child has every benefit possible from the surgery and to help minimise complications.
- Preventative Care: By taking a preventative approach to your child’s health care through chiropractic, your child may enjoy better health. The advantage of bringing your baby or child in to be checked is that any structural or neurological issues can be detected before they advance.
