Schedule a Chiropractic Adjustment for Your Child

Chiropractic Adjustments and the Active Body

Although the fundamentals of chiropractic adjustments are the same whether one is ninety or nine, the growing body of an active child has its own specific needs. Children may not have not exposed their bodies to years of abuse as adults have, but they do stress their bodies in ways adults do not.

Consider the activities of a typical NJ day at school in the Washington Township area and communities of Sewell, Turnersville, Williamstown, Blackwood, and Glassboro. Today's children strap on a backpack as early as preschool, and continue to lumber under their weight, well into college. Then there's the damage done by just being at school. You may have read about the hazards of sitting for long periods of time, so consider this. Since the typical school day in Washington Township, Sewell, Turnersville, Williamstown, Blackwood, and Glassboro, NJ generally lasts about six hours, your child is probably slumped over his or her desk for the major part of that day. He or she may get a bit of exercise during recess or physical education, but the activities are often rough and tumble with the potential for injury or strain. 

If this describes your child's day, he or she can only benefit from periodic visits to our chiropractor, Dr. Christopher Eulo, since Wolffs Law states that bones model in response to physical forces, therefore proper joint movement is needed to distribute these stresses if they are to develop optimally. 

Clues that Your Child Needs to See Our Chiropractor

Although pain may not be a factor, your child may exhibit tendencies that indicate a trip to our chiropractor is in order. Have you noticed head-tilting, limping, leaning, imbalance or postural changes? Even if you are not sure, it is best to bring him in so minor problems do not develop into major issues. With that in mind, let us know if you notice any changes in your child, and even if you have not, a chiropractic visit is always in order. Remember it is never too soon, or too late, to start a chiropractic habit. Call us today at (856) 306-8176 to schedule an appointment for your child.
