Who can have Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic Care: Suitable for All Ages and Diverse Patients!

Wondering if chiropractic care is right for you? The good news is that chiropractic care is suitable for a wide range of patients, regardless of age or background.

Let’s dive into who can benefit from chiropractic care, from infants to seniors, and provide insights to help you make an informed decision about your chiropractic journey!

For All Ages:

Infants and Children:

You might wonder why a tiny, adorable baby would need chiropractic care. The truth is, even the seemingly smooth journey from the womb into the world can affect their little bodies, particularly their necks.

Birth Trauma and Baby’s Neck

The process of childbirth, while natural, can be quite physically demanding for both mother and baby. The forceful contractions and pressure exerted during delivery can cause misalignments in the baby’s spine, particularly in the neck area. This can lead to a condition called “subluxation,” where the spinal bones are slightly out of alignment, affecting nerve function. The neck, being one of the most delicate parts of a newborn’s body, is susceptible to stress during the birthing process. Even seemingly gentle births can exert significant force on the baby’s neck. The resulting misalignments may not always be immediately apparent, but they can contribute to various health issues if left unaddressed.

Paediatric chiropractors are trained in gentle, safe techniques suitable for babies. These adjustments aim to realign the spine, relieving any tension or discomfort caused by birth trauma. While we don’t treat babies, we can recommend experience chiropractors who do.

Teens and Adolescents: Chiropractic care can help teenagers with sports injuries, postural problems, and musculoskeletal issues related to growth spurts.

Adults: Whether you’re a working professional, athlete, or a busy parent, chiropractic care can assist in managing stress, improving posture, and alleviating chronic pain.

Seniors: Golden-agers can find relief from age-related conditions like arthritis and degenerative joint issues, as well as maintaining mobility and balance.

Who Can Benefit:

Those Seeking Natural Healing: If you prefer a drug-free and non-invasive approach to healthcare, chiropractic care aligns perfectly with your values.

Individuals with Musculoskeletal Pain: Chiropractic care is renowned for providing relief from back pain, neck pain, headaches, and various musculoskeletal conditions.
