Why Chiropractic Care is a Great Option for Young Patients: Benefits and Techniques Explained
Chiropractic care is often thought of as a treatment option for adults, but it can also be very beneficial for young patients. At HD Performance Chiropractic, we treat patients as young as seven years old. We can treat patients younger than 7, but they must be at an age where they are able to communicate effectively so we can understand the condition and treat it appropriately.
When it comes to treating young patients, communication is key. We take the time to explain what chiropractic care is and how it can help them. We also make sure to use language that is easy to understand, so they feel comfortable and confident in their treatment. Dr. Hollier has a background in coaching youth sports where he was able to learn the value of breaking communication down for young athletes to understand. We know that it can be intimidating for young patients to receive treatment, so we strive to create a warm and welcoming environment that puts them at ease.
Young patients respond very well to chiropractic care. Chiropractic adjustments are meant to be gentle and non-painful, making them a great option for young patients who may be nervous about receiving treatment. Additionally, chiropractic care can help with a variety of conditions that are common in young patients, such as back and neck pain, sports injuries, and sport specific joint pains.
One area where chiropractic care can be particularly beneficial for young patients is in helping them maintain flexibility. This is especially important for young athletes, who are often pushing their bodies to the limit and growing by the week. By maintaining flexibility, young athletes can avoid injury and improve their performance on the field or court.
At HD Performance Chiropractic, we use a variety of techniques to help young patients maintain flexibility, including stretching, manual therapy, and chiropractic adjustments. We work with young athletes to develop personalized treatment plans that meet their unique needs and help them achieve their goals.
Whether your child is dealing with a specific condition or simply wants to maintain their flexibility, we are here to help. Contact us today to schedule an appointment and learn more about how we can help your child feel their best.
