Understanding Fevers

Fevers are one of the most common reasons parents seek care for their children, and it's completely natural to feel concerned when your child has one. At Rise Wellness Chiropractic, we often talk with parents who have been taught to lower a fever right away, but we want to offer some additional insight that might bring you more peace of mind.

A fever is not a sign that something is wrong or that the body is out of control. In fact, it is a natural and purposeful response, guided by the nervous system, to help the body heal. When supported appropriately, a moderate fever can be a powerful tool in the immune system’s healing process.

Here’s how a fever supports your child’s health: It slows the growth of viruses and bacteria It helps immune cells become more effective It allows the body to recover more efficiently Dr. Rachel and Dr. Annie are passionate about helping parents understand the science behind these natural processes.

In this video, they explain how fevers work, what they mean for your child’s immune system, and how you can feel more confident in supporting your child through illness with calm and clarity. You are not alone on this journey. We are here to educate, support, and walk alongside you every step of the way.
