Chiro Teens (Gen-C)
It has now been determined that adolescence occurs from roughly 12 years and can go as old as 25 years of age. This means that the pressure on teenage bodies into adulthood is even longer and more profound than we initially realised. Along with this, the world we live in continues to change and digitise, and the way in which children, and especially teens, use their bodies continues to change in line with this too.
Our passion for Chiropractic care extends across the human life cycle and a teenager’s specific Chiropractic needs are an area we are especially interested in and passionate about.
During the “teen” or adolescent stage, the bodies of boys and girls are still developing and changing in unique and wonderful ways. As these pressures set in we want to make sure that all these changes are managed well to prevent future problems that sometimes become more difficult to manage over time.
What are some of the things we look out for?
As neuro-musculoskeletal specialists, we are trained to look out for scoliosis or any other potential conditions that teens may start presenting with such as postural issues that may arise as a result of intensive screen and study time.
But it isn’t only musculoskeletal support we provide to teens.
For many adolescents, high school is when they are most active. And this is also a time where sports activity related injuries may arise and need to be treated.
We focus on:
- Increasing strength, flexibility, and range of motion
- Soothing aches, pains, and strains
- Improving recovery time
- Reducing wear and tear on joints and muscles
- Lessening the risk of accidents and injury
How can Chiropractic treatment assist
Chiropractic treatment may assist in injury prevention and also support teenagers in improving their performance. We aim to work with them to make sure that we keep them as safe as possible during high-impact sports while still ensuring that they are able to achieve their best.
