6. Chiropractic is beneficial for ALL ages - even babies and kids! There are many stresses on the spine that can happen to babies and children early on in life: the birth process, tumbles as the child learns to walk, sports injuries, heavy backpacks, playground falls, etc. Although these stresses may not result in pain immediately, they can cause an imbalance in the spine as it’s growing and developing, which can set the stage for dysfunction and problems later on in life. Check out our other post on chiropractic care for kids.
7. Chiropractic patients are healthier than the general population - a 7 year study tracked patients who saw a chiropractor as their primary health intervention, and they were shown to have 83% less pharmaceutical costs, 62% less outpatient surgeries, 60% fewer hospital admissions, and 59% fewer days in the hospital.
