A child's nervous system is the controller and regulator of all the other systems in their growing body. From blood flow to brain function and growth, the nervous system plays a central role in keeping things working and healthy. Stress and misalignment of the spine can not only cause pain and postural issues such as scoliosis, but it can also seriously impact your child's overall health. These challenges can affect behavior as well as the development of the body and BRAIN. Better Health Chiropractic offers gentle and non-invasive therapy that works to correct underlying issues. Chiropractic care for children in Rocklin CA can improve or prevent further development of health issues in a child’s developing body and brain.

As a pediatric chiropractor, Dr. Abate treats children of all ages- premature infants through teens. Children today are growing up in a more complex generation-packed schedule, digital devices, social media, and declining food quality that stresses their bodies and nervous systems more than their parents or any other generation. If the brain and body become overwhelmed, the nervous system of the child can become stuck in a fight/flight response which impacts the physical, emotional, and academic development of that child continuing into adulthood.

How Can I Tell If My Child Needs Chiropractic Care?

The spine is not just bones, muscles, and ligaments. It is a neurological organ that connects the brain and body. The spinal cord which is protected by the spinal bones and spinal nerves is the communication between the brain and body and provides the ability to adapt. Only 2 of the 9 fibers forming a spinal nerve are dedicated to pain, the remainder control muscles, blood flow, and touch or positional sense. A child's spine can be misaligned without any awareness of pain or discomfort. Even when a child is experiencing pain, they may not be able to communicate and it can be expressed as grumpiness, acting out, or incessant crying. Issues with the spine can also be the source of many other childhood concerns. Your pediatric chiropractor can identify a subtle chronic issue that might be developing.
