Chiropractic Care for Children

Dr. Kyle Klim describes other options for parents that may be looking for different methods to help their children grow and develop better.

Hello to all the PATCH readers out there! My name is Dr. Kyle Klim, and I am a Chiropractor along with Dr. Douglas Swede at Swede Family Chiropractic in Trappe. This is my first article I am writing for PATCH, with the desire to continue to post more information about family health and wellness in our great communities.


Many people see Chiropractors for various reasons as a method to help them feel better in their everyday lives. However, did you know that Chiropractic care is an effective way to help the body FUNCTION at its highest level as well? This can be demonstrated by the amazing changes I am blessed to see in my office every day with children who under Chiropractic care.


The practice of Chiropractic is based on the function of the nervous system. Your nervous system is an extension of your brain and spinal cord which is housed and protected by your vertebral column. At every vertebral level of the spine, nerves travel from their roots to control every cell, tissue, and organ in the body.

When vertebrae in the spinal column become misaligned due to everyday physical, chemical, and emotional stressors, the nervous system is not able to function at 100%.Chiropractors call these misalignments “subluxation.”


If those nerves that control all the vital functions of the body are not flowing properly, your body is not functioning properly. Chiropractors are the only health care professionals specially trained and educated to locate and adjust these subluxations to allow for proper nerve flow and function.

So what is all this stuff about kids getting Chiropractic care? Why would they need it? Great question, please keep reading!


As many of you may know, over the last 10 to 20 years, there has been an increase in many childhood disorders related to autism, hyperactivity disorders, proprioception, (body awareness) hypersensitivities, allergies, just to name a few.


Unfortunately, some of the only options parents are given is to medicate their child. Some of these medications, which are derivatives of strong narcotics, can have adverse side effects that can change a child’s behavior, school conduct, attention, mood, and many more.


I would like to bring to your attention the fact that many doctors will state that these issues can be related to the brain and nervous system which is what Chiropractors address every day.

I would like to invite you to consider Chiropractic as a viable option.  If we find that there are interruptions in the proper nerve flow, and are able to restore these signals through specific Chiropractic adjustments, improvements in these issues can be seen without side effects.


I started Chiropractic care as a
child, and through my amazing experiences, I have dedicated my life and
education to giving the gift of true health and wellness to anyone wishing to
receive it. Stay tuned for future articles related to family health and
wellness, right here on PATCH!


To your health,

Dr. Kyle Klim
