From the Doctors Desk: Chiropractic & Adolescents

The transition from being a teen into being a grown up isn't always easy.

Did you know...

  • teenagers need a lot of sleep (9-10 hours/night)

  • may need help with emotional balance

  • mental health challenges can become apparent during this time

  • are going through a lot of hormonal & physical changes

  • but most importantly...

Their brain is trimming unnecessary connections in order to increase the efficiency of information processing; more intricately folding


So, when should your teen see a qualified chiropractor?

As soon as possible, but especially if they are experiencing:

  • headaches/migraines

  • back pain

  • difficulty concentrating in school

  • involvement in sports


Not only does getting these issues resolved help your child, but also helps destress the care givers.

"But doc, my child is perfect." To which I say, "Wonderful!"


We can also be a part of your pediatric care team, assisting throughout your child's life as they go through many stages of growth & development-quite rapidly the first few years of life,


More questions?!

Feel free to ask at your next visit!
