Balance and coordination are two important gross motor skills in a child's physical development. They allow children to participate in sports and other physical activities and reduce their risk of injury. Balance and coordination also improve a child’s ability to perform everyday tasks. Poor development in these areas, however, can cause physical limitations that lead to low self-esteem and/or feelings of isolation when a child can’t keep up with his or her peers.

Did you know that over 30 million children play youth sports in America? There’s a lot to gain from participating in youth sports, but those athletes also risk getting hurt each time they play or practice. Fortunately, chiropractic care is an effective way to improve sports performance and reduce injury.
