KIDS AND CHIROPRACTIC
Parents often appreciate the importance of regular checkups for their child’s teeth, hearing, eyes and ears but draw a blank when it comes to spinal checkups. In fact, a spinal checkup could be one of the most important checkups your child will ever have.
Your child’s spine is his/her lifeline because running through the center of it is the spinal cord, containing billions of nerve fibers that send information and energy from the brain to every part of their body.
When a vertebra misaligns, pressure is applied to the spinal cord and nerves, which is referred to as subluxations. Subluxations cause a state of disharmony in the body, lowered resistance to disease, body malfunctions and sickness.
The First Subluxation
The birth process is one of the most traumatic physical events of our lives. Even so-called "natural" birthing methods can subluxate a still developing spine. The resulting pressure on the nervous system can be the cause of many new born health complaints. Colic, unexplained crying, poor appetite, breathing problems, and allergic reactions can often be traced back to nervous system dysfunction caused by subluxations.
There are three causes of subluxations:
- Chemical- Soda, sugar filled cereals and snacks, pollution, pesticides, preservatives
- Physical- Birth process, auto accidents, lifting , falling, jumping, long periods of sitting/ standing, bad posture, soft unsupportive mattress
- Emotional- High levels of stress, school grades, tendencies to panic/worry, parents separated or divorce, peer pressure/trying to be accepted-fit in
There is not a person I know that does not undergo some of these subluxation causing factors. This is why Chiropractic can help your entire family achieve a higher level of health and well-being
It is essential to bring your children in for Chiropractic checkups and adjustments during all stages of their growth. Subluxations that are not corrected may lead to serious spinal degeneration and deformities later in life. Not to mention, setting the stage for scoliosis and a weakened immune system response throughout their lives. Chiropractic adjusting techniques are modified to fit a child’s size, weight, and unique spinal problem.
