Free Scoliosis Screenings at ChiroMom

As you prepare for back-to-school season, remember to include a scoliosis screening in your child's health check-up itinerary. ChiroMom, a family-oriented chiropractic practice in Bellmore, is providing complimentary scoliosis screenings for children throughout the summer.

Chiropractic visits might not typically be associated with children, but Dana Walters, D.C., of ChiroMom emphasizes the critical role of chiropractic evaluations in maintaining children's health. This summer, Dr. Walters is extending free scoliosis and back examinations to young patients as part of their back-to-school preparations. ChiroMom serves a wide range of clients, from infants to the elderly, within a holistic care framework.

Dr. Walters advocates for regular chiropractic check-ups for children to prevent the progression of back issues that can develop over a lifetime. She compares spinal assessments to routine dental visits, underscoring their importance for long-term health. "Back problems don't just begin suddenly; they accumulate over time," she notes. The active lifestyles of children, which include running, sports, and playground activities, significantly contribute to spinal stress. Moreover, the increased use of technology exacerbates spinal misalignments due to poor posture habits, particularly among the growing youth.

ChiroMom's holistic method includes a variety of services such as massage therapy and lifestyle advice, aiming to enhance overall body function and address the root causes of health issues, not just the symptoms. Dr. Walters believes that chiropractic care is essential for all ages, reinforcing that the goal is to treat the whole body for optimal health.
