At Harbourfront Family Chiropractic - Salmon Arm, Dr. Warren has a special interest in Chiropractic care for families, children, and pregnancy.

A large percentage of the patients in our family practice are children, and the office is specially designed to cater to children while maintaining comfort for the entire family. The warm and loving staff are trained to care for families, and we have a designated childrens play area in the office. Our passion for helping kids comes because we witness the miracles of chiropractic care on a regular basis. The only problem you may experience with bringing your children to our office, is getting them to leave when it is time to go home!

Chiropractic adjustments restore normal function of the nervous system and allow the body to achieve optimal physical, mental, and social well being. Although Chiropractic is not a treatment for specific diseases or health conditions, parents report that once their child begins receiving chiropractic adjustments, their overall health is much better. Whether it is a child with recurrent ear infections[1,7], asthma[2], colic[3], a child who is failing to thrive[4], or a child who is "overactive"[5], we are excited to witness their progression to better health naturally.

For many families, 'Chiropractic for Kids' is a new concept; unfortunately, many parents are not aware that the birthing process can place 35-140 pounds of pull on a newborn baby's head and neck.[6] This is well before the time that all children are subject to thousands of slips and falls on a daily basis as they walk and run.

Physical stress alone is a lot for these small bodies to cope, and this is without even mentioning Chemical (diet) and Emotional stresses they may also experience. These stresses on the body often place tension on the brain, spinal cord and nerves. Doctors call this nerve interference a Subluxation.

Subluxations result in the improper functioning of the nervous system and may result in a loss of health and proper growth and development. In children, this stress on the nervous system often results in a variety of symptoms and health challenges.

The simplest way to detect a problem is to have a Doctor of Chiropractic who has a special interest in children, check your child for subluxations. Doctors of Chiropractic are the only doctors trained in the detection and correction of subluxations.

If required, we also have access to the On-Site High Frequency X-Ray Facilities to detect any spinal misalignments or a Scoliosis (curvature of the spine) in Children. This helps guide the Doctor to the appropriate type of care to ensure proper nervous system functioning, regardless of whether they are expressing symptoms or are simply having a wellness check. This is done for much the same reason you would check your child's teeth. You want to detect any potential problems before they develop into something more serious.

When a subluxation is detected in a child's spine and nervous system, it is very simple to correct through a chiropractic adjustment.

At Harbourfront Family Chiropractic, we do not treat conditions or diseases, nor are we here to replace appropriate medical care. Our focus is in the maintenance of a healthy, subluxation-free spine and nervous system.

We believe that all families should be given the opportunity to live a life free from the effects of subluxations. Regardless of your condition or state of health, you and your children can benefit from a stress free, healthy nervous system!
