The vestibular system is foundational to balance, posture, and coordinated movement, but its influence extends far beyond equilibrium alone. It plays a central role in how the brain integrates sensory input and organizes appropriate motor and neurological responses.
When vestibular function is compromised, children may present with challenges in motor coordination, postural control, spatial awareness, and cognitive processing. These patterns are often neurological in origin and require careful, specific evaluation rather than symptom-based management.
Early identification of vestibular dysfunction allows the chiropractor to address underlying neurological imbalance during critical periods of development. Through precise assessment and indicator-based adjusting, we can support more efficient nervous system organization and healthier developmental outcomes.
