The latest thing after school activity for your kids may be a trip to your friendly neighborhood chiropractor.
Childhood illnesses like the sniffles, ear infections, and sinus problems are now being treated by chiropractors, who use gentle pressure to help kids get back to tip top shape.
The key is to not use heavy, manipulating pressure, but pressure “so gentle it’s almost like the pressure you would put on a tomato to dent it”.
According to chiropractors, they “want the body to do what it needs to do to heal itself”, and kids can also benefit from their therapy.
Pregnant moms also can benefit from going to the chiropractor. According to Dr. Lona Cook, “[t]he spinal development of the baby while it’s in the mom’s tummy and obviously if the baby is positioned correctly…[it] betters the baby developing [in] the mom.”
Always check with your local chiropractor and pediatrician to make sure it’s safe for your kids to attend.
