Chiropractic For Teens In Ottawa
Between sports, schoolwork, extracurricular activities and part-time jobs teens are more pressured than ever. Like adults, this can manifest as stress. Because teens tend to be so busy, they often don’t think to make time for chiropractic care. But, once they do, they invariably notice the positive benefits.
I find they ask their parents to book them an appointment with me!
Academics, Emotional Health and Stress Management
One of the greatest benefits of chiropractic is that it can help teens by decreasing their stress by taking pressure off the nervous system.
Growing Pains
If teens experience growing pains, it usually means their structure is misaligned. Chiropractic can help correct that misalignment.
Instruments and Sports
For teens who play heavy or awkward instruments, they can experience discomfort or injury. I can adjust them either while they’re holding their instruments or in the same position as if they were. This can help their body relax in that position. The same holds true for sports. They can bring in their equipment and I can adjust them in their position of use . i.e. javelin, football, baseball bat, basketball or golf clubs. This will assist the body to relax in that particular position. I see a lot of athletes with injuries including sprained ankles and fingers, knee problems and more. Regular chiropractic care not only can address injuries but it can prevent them too.
Scoliosis
A person with scoliosis has a curve that should not be present in that location in their spine. Even with a small curve, chiropractic can make the greatest strides towards improvement. Early intervention is always best, before significant growth takes place, as the longer the curve is present, the more challenging it will be to correct. The sooner they can get in for care before growth takes place the easier it will be to correct.
Text Neck
Kids today are more hunched over than ever before, and that poor posture can affect the entire nervous system and lead to arthritis.
