Adolescence

At this age, our bodies are growing quickly. Bones will grow longer and will start to harden into main supporting structures for the body. As one goes through this phase, emphasis should be placed on keeping the spine in alignment, which can help maintain optimal function. Regular chiropractic care has been shown to help with strength and flexibility.

Our adolescents are also prone to injuries from sports. When injuries occur, the normal spinal alignment can become displaced. This is termed as a "subluxation". At All About Wellness we strive to realign these "subluxations" by using gentle techniques that your child can tolerate, without any popping or twisting. Therapy is also at utmost importance to help reduce scar tissue from injury, and to also help strengthen muscles and ligaments that have been injured. This is needed to help guard against reinjuring the area. We have an individualized approach to meet your child's therapy needs, which are implemented in a one on one environment with the doctor.

Nutrition is also paramount at this growing phase. After we have evaluated one's diet, we may recommend supplements that are easy to take to help aid in digestion and absorption of nutrients that are needed to help in the quickest recovery time frame.
