Children need Chiropractic Care Too

Infants
A young spine in utero, with few exceptions, usually develops perfectly during pregnancy. It’s towards the end of the pregnancy and during the birth process that a minor spinal problem, or subluxation, can occur. Subluxations are areas of the spine that interfere or distort controlling nerve impulses between the brain and the body. These occur from the baby’s position in the womb, trauma through the birth canal, or during the delivery process.

Toddlers
As most parents know, falls happen…quite frequently. Whether it’s falling from a bed, or a sudden stop in an automobile, any significant unsupportive movement of the head and neck can induce excessive movement in the spine, causing a vertebral subluxation. Learning to walk and the number of falls encountered in this way can induce trauma to the lower spine and large joints of the pelvis. Then as they get older and begin riding tricycles on up to bicycles, their mobility is a whirlwind of nonstop activity.

Pre-Teens and Teens
The onset of puberty with all the hormonal changes brings with it a new self-consciousness; lack of coordination, awkwardness and a host of non-specific aches, pains, cramps, and muscle spasms. “Growing pains” may be common, but they are not normal. They do seem to resolve on their own which is a tribute to children’s adaptive growing qualities. However, minor subluxations can lead to unbalanced hips, uneven leg length and a host of other unnoticed problems. We see these results years later with chronic and hard-to-fix problems.

“My Head Hurts”
Aches and pain at any age are signs that something isn’t right. Newborns may exhibit unexplained crying, lack of appetite, abnormal sleep patterns or even allergic reactions. Some toddlers will rub or tug their ears. Then there are “the bugs that are going around” in schools causing illnesses. The middle school and high school child may get headaches. Any spinal subluxation compromises the nervous system. Compromised nervous system can cause all above symptoms and more.

Our Duty as Parents
Most adults are recognizing the value of chiropractic care today. However, chiropractic care can help the whole family. We find many parents who consult our office report that their children miss less time from school due to illness, recover from sports injuries faster, and enjoy an overall healthier life – most with out taking any medications of any type, i.e. over-the-counter and prescription. Rather than treating the symptom, we look for and treat the cause. Traditional symptom-treating is expensive and unappealing. We look at the total person. We help you and your child to realize the self-healing properties of the body. We know that regardless of their age, a subluxation-free nervous system gives your child the opportunity to be their very best.
           

Bio-Photon and Allergy Elimination for Children

Children experience allergies and sensitivities to foods and toxins just like adults. But unlike adults, they may not be able to express what is wrong. Colicky babies, children with frequent runny noses or ear infections, eczema, and even behavioral problems could be due to their body’s inability to process certain foods or even medicine. We check for allergies in children the same as we do with adults, by using our safe and invasive-free Meridian Stress Assessment by Bio-Meridian.
