Under neurologically based chiropractic restorative care, we are able to restore the function of the body the way it was originally intended. When stress on the nervous system is removed, research has shown that improvements can be seen in most aspects of health; when the nervous system functions the way it should, this results in all other systems functioning at a higher level, including the immune system, digestive system, respiratory system, and cardiovascular system, among others.
Why you should visit a Pediatric Chiropractor
A child’s body experiences immense stress as it grows, develops, and adapts to the world around it. When too much stress builds up in a child’s nervous system, the body has a hard time adapting to that stress and the environment, leading to dysfunction.
Science has proven that the birthing process is the first physical trauma that a child’s spine undergoes. When a child’s spine is free of misalignments and interference, the brain and body will better communicate, allowing the child to better adapt to the environment and live a healthier and happier life!

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Chiropractic benefit children?
Think of the spine as not just a collection of bones, muscles, and ligaments but an entire neurological “organ” that is the key communication highway between the brain and body. Kids can better adapt to their surroundings when the brain and body can communicate well. Adapting is a keyword, and that is why Chiropractic is so helpful to kids.
Do adjustments for children hurt?
A child’s nervous system is more sensitive than an adult’s. Thus, children’s adjustments are different from adult adjustments. Dr. Alec is certified in gentle, neurologically focused pediatric chiropractic care and is trained in adjusting children from newborns to teenagers.
