Chiropractic and Children

At the Café of Life although we love to work with people of all ages, we have a special interest in serving children and pregnant women.  We recognize that the prenatal period and early years of a child’s Life are vitally important times for the development of the nerve system.  The nerve system is the biological medium for conscious experience.  From before birth, until the age of five, a child’s nerve system is growing and learning at an astonishing rate.  Neurological pathways are forming and building upon one another.  This process is most intensive and more easily influenced during the early years of life, when our neurology is most flexible.  When assembled, this neurological architecture defines the window through which we sense (physical), perceive (emotional), think (mental), understand (spiritual), and interact with the world.  The development and growth of the nerve system continues until approximately age 25, and it has been shown that it is possible to form new neural connections up to the age of 80.

As Chiropractors we serve the Chiropractic Adjustment to release Life in the body by releasing tension and stored potential energy.  This frees up communication pathways in the body and nerve system.  We aim to help children to process and integrate their life stresses and experiences over the short term, so that tension does not accumulate over the long-term.  This maximizes the opportunity for learning, growth and development as each experience occurs.

Every parent has an interest in promoting the health and well-being of their children.  In our Health Care system today most of the resources are devoted to managing symptoms, sickness and disease at the end stage of these processes.  Few Health Care resources are directed to health promotion and disease prevention before health concerns surface.  At the Café of Life we offer a unique form of Health and Wellness Care to help people achieve optimal health and well-being in the present so they can live healthy and fulfilled lives into the future.

The Chiropractic profession has a long history of helping children and families live healthy and happy lives.  Chiropractic has helped many children heal ottitis media (ear infections), colic symptoms, asthma symptoms, ADHD and many other common childhood ailments. Chiropractic has helped many pregnant women manage pain and discomfort common to pregnancy and pregnant women have been observed to benefit from easier, more peaceful and shorter labours.  Chiropractors also use techniques for pregnant women to help release in-utero constraint facilitating the turning of breech or transverse babies in the uterus.

The following quote by Suzanne Arms captures our motivation and passion for serving pregnant women and children.  Please contact Café of Life at (416) 728-7365 to make an appointment or to learn more.

If we hope to create a non-violent world where respect and kindness replace fear and hatred,

We must begin with how we treat each other at the beginning of life.

For that is where our deepest patterns are set.

From these roots grow fear and alienation, or love and trust.
