Did you know that 90% of a child’s brain is developed by the age 5??

The human brain, serving as the command center of our entire body, undergoes incredible development during the early years of life. At birth, a baby's brain is approximately a quarter of the size of an adult brain. However, it rapidly grows, doubling in size within the first year and reaching about 80% of adult size by age 3, and nearly full grown by age 5.

While a newborn baby has all the brain cells they will have for their entire life, the real magic lies in the connections between those cells, enabling essential functions like movement, communication, and cognition. During this crucial period, a child's brain forms millions of new neural connections every second, creating the foundation for lifelong learning and development.

Different areas of the brain responsible for various abilities, such as movement, language, and emotion, develop at different rates. As these connections become more complex, children gain the ability to perform more intricate movements, express themselves through speech, and think in more advanced ways. This early neuro-development phase plays a vital role in a child's lifelong growth and well-being.

Pediatric chiropractic care can support children's growth and thriving right from the start. By ensuring that a child's neuro-spinal system is clear and connected through regular check-ups with a trained chiropractor, they can better adapt to the stressors of life and optimize their development.

At Grounded Roots, Dr.Erika specializes in pediatric chiropractic care and has extensive training to care for your child. Through thorough assessments, our team can determine if your child is functioning at their best.

Starting chiropractic care from birth sets the stage for optimal growth, as the majority of a child's neurons are already developed at birth, with few new ones produced afterwards.

Are you ready to invest in your child's health? We would love to serve you and your little one in our space!
