How’s your child’s nervous system doing?
Their nervous system dictates their ability to thrive in all aspects of home life, academic, athletic performance, and social and mental health. We experience life through our nervous system. Given its impact on quality of life, it makes perfect sense to ensure your children’s nervous systems are functioning at optimal levels.
Parents sometimes wonder how or why a child or baby would benefit from Neuro-Structural Chiropractic. Often, folks are unaware that physical trauma begins in the womb with spinal distress during development and continuing through the birthing process and into childhood. For example, imagine the force put on a baby’s cervical spine (neck) during a c-section or how many times they fall when learning to walk. The car seats, carriers, and all the other contraptions that children grow up with affect their bodies and put stress on their nerves.
Repetitive physical trauma is introduced at a young age as children spend more time on electronic devices than ever before and usually don’t practice proper ergonomics. The prevalence of electronic usage among children significantly impacts their posture. We are finding that kids we see currently, particularly ones who clock more screen time, have much more dramatic Neuro-Structural shifts than we saw even a decade ago. See the image below to observe how much pressure is being put on the upper cervical neck when looking down at a phone or tablet screen.

Seeking care to reverse the effects of stress is best done sooner than later in life, as a child’s body is highly resilient and receptive to chiropractic care. Studies have shown that regularly visiting a chiropractor has resulted in a reduction in hospital visits, medication usage, and ear infections. Moreover, regular visits to a chiropractor have also resulted in improved focus and productivity in school and better balance in activities of daily living. Children under care report experiencing improvements in a variety of symptoms and health conditions, including:
improved behavior, concentration & mood
healthier immune systems
decreased ear infections
Better coordination and improved performance in athletics
more rapid recovery from illness
improved performance in school
better sleep
According to research from 2016, a single chiropractic adjustment improved function in the prefrontal cortex by 20%, the region of the brain responsible for all executive functions. These functions include concentration, focus control, personality and learning. Improving the functionality of this region can greatly impact a child’s perception of their capabilities and, by effect, their mental health. So it’s no wonder that Neuro-Structural chiropractic care can help a number of conditions, including:
ADHD, anxiety & neurological and sensory processing disorders
ear, sinus & respiratory infections
colic, reflux, constipation, nursing & digestive issues
asthma, allergies & other immune challenges
At Platinum Chiropractic, we focus on identifying interferences in the nervous system and honoring the body’s innate ability to heal. We understand that you want only the best for your child. That’s why our pediatric neuro-structural chiropractic care is designed to provide safe, non-invasive, and effective solutions for your baby, toddler, or teen.

Study Correlates Chiropractic Care and Good Health
Meet Dr. Henry Windsor. Back in 1921, Dr. Windsor, a medical doctor, wanted to know why his patients undergoing chiropractic care or osteopathic spinal care returned to health without medications or surgery. So he put together a study at the University of Pennsylvania to try and answer just that question.

Why do people tend to get sick this time of year? We’ve all heard the theory that when kids return to school, being around each other is how they “catch colds.” Although it is correct that they are around more people, this alone doesn’t cause sickness. Think about all the places people go during the summertime where there are many people, amusement parks, camps, vacations with lots of tourists, and even other countries.
Strong Immune System Defense
The purpose of strong immune system defense is to defend the body from enemies and effectively attack and remove infiltrators. The brain and the autonomic nervous system (automatic operating system) play a critical role in that process. When an invader is detected, the brain and the autonomic nervous system facilitate the synchronization of the immune system’s soldiers to sequester and eliminate the assailants.
