In a world full of healthcare options, it can be challenging to navigate the best path for your child’s health. As parents, the goal is always to ensure the best possible care, but understanding the differences between various approaches is crucial. Chiropractic care is one such area where different types exist, each with its own focus and methodology. Understanding these distinctions could be the key to unlocking your child’s full health potential.
Imagine a healthcare approach that doesn’t just treat symptoms but addresses the root cause of your child’s health challenges by focusing on the nervous system—the master control center of the body. Let’s explore the world of chiropractic care and discover why Neurologically-Focused Pediatric Chiropractic Care at E320 Chiropractic might be the game-changer you’ve been searching for.
The Evolution of Natural Health Care
Over the past 8 years, there has been a remarkable shift in healthcare approaches. What was once considered “alternative” or “natural” is now entering the mainstream. Gluten-free diets, dairy-free options, paleo eating, and supplement regimens have become common practices for many families seeking optimal health.
This explosion of holistic and natural health options is fantastic news! However, it can also lead to confusion and overwhelm. With so many choices available, how do you know which approach is best for your child?
Breaking Down the Types of Chiropractic Care
Let’s simplify things by exploring the three main types of chiropractic care:
Standard Spinal Chiropractic Care: This traditional approach focuses primarily on musculoskeletal issues like back pain, neck pain, and spinal problems. It uses spinal adjustments to relieve pain and improve mobility, often incorporating therapies like massage and posture correction. While effective for addressing specific pain issues, it may not fully address underlying neurological imbalances.
Functional Neurology: This approach emphasizes brain-based therapies and neurological pathways. It uses a range of therapies, including sensory stimulation and cognitive exercises, with a focus on primitive reflex integration. While effective, it can sometimes involve a complex, multifaceted approach that might be overwhelming for some patients.
Neurologically-Focused Pediatric Chiropractic Care: This specialized approach targets the root cause of many health issues: subluxation, nervous system dysregulation, and dysautonomia. It uses specialized Neuro-Tonal adjustments to restore balance to the nervous system and employs advanced INSiGHT Scans to assess nervous system health. What sets this approach apart is its emphasis on achieving neurological stability before introducing other therapies.
Why Neurologically-Focused Care Matters
Research shows that the increasing prevalence of chronic health issues in children often starts with the Central and Autonomic Nervous Systems getting thrown off track. Once subluxation, sympathetic dominance, and nervous system dysregulation set in, they can contribute to a cascade of health challenges.
These neurological imbalances can lead to:
- Decreased gut, immune system, and microbiome function
- Delayed or missed gross and fine motor milestones
- Sensory processing disorders
- Retained primitive reflexes
One of the key principles in Neurologically-Focused Pediatric Chiropractic Care is addressing health issues in the right order. Just as optimal neurological and overall health development follows a specific sequence, healing, and restoration must follow that same order.
While it might seem intuitive to tackle multiple issues simultaneously, especially in challenging cases, clinical experience shows that a “less is more” approach is often more effective. By focusing on establishing neurological stability first, we create a strong foundation for overall health and healing.
Finding Your Path Forward
