Children are amazing individuals who deserve customized care for their growing bodies and minds. Dr. Yara Jouhari at KC Spine & Wellness of Kansas City, MO, is a passionate pediatric chiropractor dedicated to helping children in her community achieve and maintain optimal health and wellness.
Chiropractic Care for Kids and Teens
You might not realize it, but your children’s bodies go through a lot. If you think back to your childhood, you can probably remember carrying heavy backpacks, sitting in uncomfortable chairs, having bicycle or skating accidents, falling from the monkey bars, and many more painful incidents.
While some of these activities can be fun, the injuries they can produce aren’t. Headaches, back pain, neck pain, shoulder injuries, and more can leave kids suffering, usually without knowing why – they may even forget the incident that caused the symptoms.
As a parent, you want to make sure your child is as healthy as possible and lives without aches and pains. Below, Dr. Jouhari and the team at KC Spine & Wellness of Kansas City, MO, share how a pediatric chiropractor can help make this happen.
Restoring Balance and Alignment
Every fall, tumble, and overstuffed backpack can put stress and strain on the musculoskeletal system, which can lead to a misalignment. In addition to pain, misalignments can cause headaches and difficulty concentrating. Gentle adjustments can help restore and maintain alignment, preventing such symptoms from plaguing your child.
Addressing Soft Tissue Trouble
Alignment of the bones is crucial to health, but the soft tissues can’t be overlooked. Not only can tension, sprains, strains, and other injuries leave a child in pain, but they can also pull the spine back out of alignment. By using soft tissue techniques to address such issues and retraining the muscles to operate how they should, our team can help your child heal and maintain musculoskeletal health.
Gentle, Natural, and Customized Treatment
Children are unique individuals. We are dedicated to ensuring the treatment they receive is designed around their specific needs and comfort level. We use the most gentle and natural techniques possible to ensure optimal results.
