WHY CHILDREN NEED CHIROPRACTIC CARE:
• Trauma from birth process
• Time of greatest spinal lengthening
• Time of spinal curvature development
• Heuter-Volkmann Law (orthopedic rule in regards to bone growth which states “that compression forces inhibit growth and tensile forces stimulate growth”)
• To optimize the function of the Nervous System
• Time of proprioceptive development (proprioceptive input is important for a child’s development as it helps with both fine and gross motor activities)
• Time of greatest brain growth
