One key difference in chiropractic care between a child and an adult is that the child is growing. That involves a tremendous amount of body and structural change in a very short time. Where systems, assemblies, and body systems work in a cohesive stable manner with an adult, they are in a state of change in children. As a result, pediatric chiropractic care requires a specialized approach that is cognizant of what children need.

Chiropractic Care Boosts and Corrects Adolescent Growth

The human body develops on its own clock, following specific, pre-programmed paths of growth. However, that path isn’t linear. The body can make a lot of mistakes as it moves from childhood to adulthood. Posture is a great example. Natural development is not going to fix a spine curvature or bad posture. These problems will just keep growing in the wrong direction. It takes human intervention to set things right so that the spine develops properly for long-term health back and spine strength.

Intervention comes in the form of alignment, diagnostics, braces, and similar assistance to proactively push the body into the right form and more. Because a chiropractor works with the entire body’s system versus just one part, the solution developed for a patient tends to be comprehensive versus singular and limited in nature.
