Healthy Kids in Our Community!

At New Wave Chiropractic it is a goal of ours to be involved with the community, especially to help create healthy kids in the community.  So when we had the chance to sponsor a youth flag football team, we quickly jumped on it.  The Fresno State Bulldogs… A group of 5^th/6^th grade kids that love to go out there with each other and have a great time competing and playing a game that they love.

I was recently at one of their flag football games on a Friday night at Poinsettia Park in Carlsbad.  Let me tell you that this is quite the event…  There are about 15 fields with games being played every hour by kids ranging from kindergarten to 8^th grade.  There was so much excitement and so much energy in the air that it could put a smile on anyone’s face.  Come game time, our team was down a player so they had to play five against six.  That didn’t slow them down one bit though!  They fought hard and ended up with the win despite playing a man down.  At the end of the game I could tell how happy they were to be able to go out there together and win even with one less player.  It was such a fun game to watch and I was really proud to be a part of it.

As leaders in our community’s health, it is important to ensure that our kids grow up healthy.  Their growing bodies are rapidly changing and are being put under so many different stresses that it is vitally important to ensure that everything is growing and functioning properly.  Children today, with the help of technology, have developed poor habits when it comes to exercise, diet and posture.  It is essential to give children and our community the proper tools for great health.  At New Wave Chiropractic we want your children to not just grow up properly and healthy… we want them to thrive!  To learn more about how chiropractic care can help your children visit Pathways to family wellness.
