Why Chiropractic for Children
Written by Jeanne Ohm, D.C. and Pamela Stone, D.C.

Chiropractic care for children offers your family a solid foundation for wellness. Throughout pregnancy, birth, and childhood, the chiropractic lifestyle offers choices and benefits for your greater health and well-being.

Even the so-called “normal” birth experience can subject a newborn’s delicate spine to excessive pressure and stress, causing spinal nerve interference. This nerve interference (a vertebral subluxation) can affect the infant’s ability to express health to his/her fullest potential. Childhood is a very active time. Running, jumping, falls and accidents are all part of a normal childhood and yet they can cause spinal misalignments. Many parents believe their children are fine because there is no external evidence of injury or obvious symptom. However, resulting spinal injuries are often overlooked and many times are left uncorrected.

The National Safety Council reports in a study of 536 children that 50% had fallen head first from a high place in the first year of life. This can cause vertebral subluxations to their spine that most often go unnoticed. As the child grows up, they play sports, fall off bikes, fall off beds, etc., going through a typical, normal childhood. These minor disturbances to their spines add up slowly over time to cause problems, either as a child or adult. Remember this nerve interference (a vertebral subluxation) can affect the infant’s ability to express health to his/her fullest potential. The unique qualification of Chiropractors is the detection and correction of vertebral subluxations.

Children's Chiropractic Safety Research:

The ICPA has initiated a ground breaking study on the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic care for children. The preliminary results are outstanding and show that chiropractic care is safe for children. Even more significant is that parents reported three unexpected improvements with their child's care:

1. Improved sleeping
2. Improved behavior and attitude
3. Improved immune system function

Testimonials

Dr. Hogan and the entire Regatta Chiro team are truly a blessing. I first began seeing Dr. Hogan for chiropractic care, but soon started visiting regularly for facials and massages with Orlando. Her beautiful office in Regatta Commons is peacful and always a joy to visit! Do yourself a favor! VISIT!

I cannot say enough about Shawna and staff. Shawna saved my back throughout my pregnancy, and now treat my newborn son with the same love and care! The entire office has become our second family.

I had friends refer me to Dr. Shawna Hogan and I could not be more grateful. She really took the time to get to know me and understand my medical issues prior to major adjustments that could really cause harm in my circumstance. After following a treatment plan to include adjustments and massage (Orlando is awesome) I am blown away by how great I am feeling. I didn't realize how bad my pain actually was until I didn't feel it anymore. The entire office is always welcoming, easy to schedule with and always so friendly!

Shawna is patient and kind. She really takes her time and aims to help you in any way she can. I'm currently 34 weeks pregnant and having chiropractic care for the first time in my life. I've had several issues with my hips and lower back and since getting regular adjustments I've noticed a huge difference in my mobility and pain level. I'm also sleeping like a baby! Every pregnant woman should make an appointment now.

Shawna is awesome! My wife and I meet with her today about getting care for our son and she went far beyond what we expected, we are very happy that she will be helping our son.

Shawna is the best in Destin. She has changed my life! If you have doubts about chiropractic, you better give it a try. It will change your life too! Don't just stop there, take advantage of the great specials they are always running on massages, facials and other great beauty and feel good treatments! You feel and look great after a visit to Regatta Chiropractic!

I love being able to come in and get a facial, massage, and an adjustment all in one place! Dr. Hogan and her team are so genuine and knowledgeable.

I love this place!!! Shawna is my chiropractor and Orlando is my massage therapist. Its no coincidence that they are consistently the Best In Destin. I refer all of my Pilates clients to regatta chiropractic.
