Despite what some commercials and ads may say, there is no magic pill or supplement that creates lifelong health. It’s something that begins in childhood by following the right habits and choices for true, holistic balance. At Cameron Family Chiropractic, we make a point of walking families through these journeys together at every step of the way, from the early days of pregnancy to parenthood and beyond. 

As our children grow, it’s only natural to wonder if they are progressing in a healthy way, and what some of the milestones of development can be. We’ve previously covered these in babies, infants, toddlers, and in preschoolers, and now let’s look at the final stage of childhood: ages five and up.

Aging doesn’t have to mean giving up movement or independence. Discover how chiropractic care may support mobility and confidence for Calgary seniors.

The first year of a baby's life is an exciting one, filled with many milestones and major changes. With everything that goes on, parents and caregivers may feel overwhelmed trying to keep track of what their baby should be doing and when. This guide will provide a comprehensive overview of the important milestones babies typically reach during the first year of life, as well as information on the five stages of childhood development and some “red flags” to watch out for.

Welcoming a newborn into the world is one of the most exhilarating and amazing experiences in life, and watching an infant grow and develop is an incredible journey for parents and caregivers alike. 

However, it can also be overwhelming to keep track of your baby's progress and know what to expect at different stages – especially if you’re a new parent. This guide will provide an overview of the essential milestones for newborns between 0-3 months of age, along with some red flags to watch out for.

Welcoming a new baby into the world is an exciting and awe-inspiring experience. As parents, we watch with anticipation as our little ones grow and develop at a rapid pace – and between the ages of 3 to 12 months, infants reach significant milestones in their physical, cognitive, and social-emotional development. In this blog, we will explore these developmental milestones and highlight the importance of tracking your baby's progress. We'll also discuss how gentle chiropractic adjustments can support your infant's overall health journey during this crucial stage.

At Cameron Family Chiropractic, we are committed to supporting families through every stage of their journey, from pregnancy to motherhood and beyond. It is truly special to witness the growth of our children as they navigate their way through their early years, but if you’re not sure what to expect, it can feel a bit daunting. 

In a previous blog post, we discussed the significant milestones achieved during the first year of a child's life. Now, let's look to the years after that, where toddlers really start to develop their own unique personalities.

At Cameron Family Chiropractic, we help families throughout their entire journey – from the first exciting (and potentially stressful) days of pregnancy, through the joys of motherhood and beyond. We know how heartwarming and amazing it can be to watch our children grow…and how overwhelming it sometimes feels along the way. 

We’ve written before about some of the major milestones of babies, infants, and toddlers. Today, let’s continue with a closer look at the ages of three to four. This is an exciting time, as your child will have their own personality and blossoming independence, they may be starting preschool, and they will be learning and socializing at a rapid rate. 

There’s nothing quite like the joyful bounce of a trampoline on a sunny day—giggles, somersaults, and all. But what starts as backyard fun can quickly take a turn if safety isn’t top of mind. Every year, trampoline-related injuries send kids (and adults) across Calgary to healthcare providers for help that could often be prevented.

When people hear the word “scoliosis,” they often think of a curved spine—but there’s a lot more to it than that. Scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves sideways and can show up in different ways depending on what’s causing it. The two main types are structural scoliosis and functional scoliosis, and understanding the key difference between them can make a big difference in how it’s managed and even prevented. 

When you choose Cameron Family Chiropractic, you’re choosing a practice dedicated to your family’s health, mobility, and happiness—now and for generations to come. With that said, let’s dive into some of the benefits of family chiropractic care.

As parents, we strive to understand factors affecting baby health and development to give our children the best start in life. But even before they’re born, little ones can face a variety of challenges that might influence their health and development. At Cameron Family Chiropractic, we believe it’s important to understand these early influences so you can take steps to support your baby’s well-being from day one.

When you visit a chiropractor, the primary goal is to provide the best possible care using the most effective tools and techniques. One such tool is the X-ray.

Some patients might feel confused about the need for X-rays, especially if they are just coming in for an adjustment. However, having an X-ray helps to show the whole story of your spine. Let’s discuss.
