As a parent, you strive to ensure the best for your child’s health. In a world filled with numerous healthcare options, it can be tough to navigate which path is best for your little one. You might have heard about chiropractic care, but did you know that there are various types, each with its own focus and methodology?
Understanding these differences could be crucial in helping your child reach their optimal health.
Imagine a healthcare approach that goes beyond just treating symptoms and addresses the root causes of your child’s health concerns. A method that emphasizes the nervous system, the body’s master control center.
Let’s dive into the different types of chiropractic care and why Neurologically-Focused Pediatric Chiropractic Care might be the game-changer you’ve been looking for.
The Shift Towards Natural Health Care
It's no secret that there has been a significant shift in healthcare perspectives. What was once labeled as “alternative” or “natural” is now mainstream. Practices like gluten-free diets, dairy-free lifestyles, paleo eating, and supplement routines have become the norm for many families pursuing optimal health.
This explosion in holistic and natural health options is such great news! However, it can also lead to confusion. With so many choices, how do you determine the best approach for your child?
Breaking Down the Types of Chiropractic Care
Let’s break down the main types of chiropractic care to make things simpler:
Standard Spinal Chiropractic Care: This is the traditional form of chiropractic, focusing on musculoskeletal issues like back and neck pain. It involves spinal adjustments to alleviate pain and improve mobility, often combined with therapies like massage and posture correction. While effective for pain relief, it may not fully address underlying neurological imbalances.
Functional Neurology: This approach centers on brain-based therapies and neurological pathways. It utilizes various therapies, including sensory stimulation and cognitive exercises, with an emphasis on integrating primitive reflexes. Though effective, this method can sometimes be complex and overwhelming for some families.
Neurologically-Focused Pediatric Chiropractic Care: This specialized approach aims at the root of many health issues: subluxation, nervous system dysregulation, and dysautonomia. It uses specialized Neuro-Tonal adjustments to restore balance in the nervous system and employs advanced INSiGHT Scans to assess neurological health. What sets this approach apart is its focus on achieving neurological stability before introducing additional therapies.
The Importance of Neurologically-Focused Care
Research into the rise of chronic health issues in children often points to disruptions that first happen within the Central and Autonomic Nervous Systems. When subluxation, sympathetic dominance, and nervous system dysregulation occur, they can trigger a cascade of health problems.
These neurological imbalances can result in:
Decreased gut, immune system, and microbiome function
Delayed or missed gross and fine motor skill milestones
Sensory processing disorders
Retained primitive reflexes
A key principle of Neurologically-Focused Pediatric Chiropractic Care is the importance of addressing health concerns in the correct sequence. Just as optimal health development follows a specific order, so too must the process of healing and restoration.
Although it might seem intuitive to address multiple issues at once, especially in complex cases, our experience shows that a focused, “less is more” approach is often more effective. By prioritizing neurological stability first, we lay a strong foundation for overall health and healing.
Charting Your Course Forward
If you feel like you’ve tried every possible approach and aren’t seeing the desired results, consider the following steps:
Assess whether you have a Neurologically-Focused Pediatric Chiropractor on your healthcare team.
Reflect on whether your current healthcare strategy feels overwhelming or potentially counterproductive.
Consider hitting the “reset” button and reassessing your child’s health plan, possibly with a more focused, sequential approach.
Understanding the different types of chiropractic care is vital in choosing the right path for your child’s health. While each approach has its benefits, Neurologically-Focused Pediatric Chiropractic Care offers a unique, holistic approach that addresses the root causes of many chronic health issues.
