Improve your child's spinal health and posture

Studies have shown that children who receive regular chiropractic care are less frequently ill, are able to concentrate better and are generally healthier. As parents, this is what we want for our kids, yes?

Below are 3 things to consider now to improve your child's spinal health:

* REGULAR CHIROPRACTIC CARE can help restore and maintain normal spinal function, allowing a child's body to develop optimally. Just as our children need good hygiene, dental care and sound nutrition, they also need regular chiropractic care.
* LIMIT BACKPACK WEIGHT to 10-15% of your child's weight. (ie: child weight is 50 lbs--should not carry any more than 7.5 lbs.
* KEEP KIDS ACTIVE to reduce back pain and headaches as well as diabetes and heart disease early in life. Childhood obesity is epidemic due to too much time spent infront of the tv and playing computer games.

Every child is unique in their own way. My team and I are trained in evaluating and treating the spines of all ages. Give your children a gift of a healthy spinc by getting them regular chiropractic care.
