Children
The Birth Process may be one of the most traumatic events of our lives.
Even "natural" birthing methods can stress a still-developing spine. The resulting irritation to the nervous system can be the cause of many newborn health complaints. Colic, unexplained crying, poor appetite, breathing problems and allergic reactions can often be traced to nervous system dysfunction caused by a malfunctioning spine.
Head support, followed by crawling and a baby's first steps should be followed by chiropractic checkups. If neglected, the bumps and falls during this period of rapid growth may lead to serious spinal deformities later in life. This can set the stage for scoliosis, "growing pains", and a weakened immune system response.
Children naturally enjoy their chiropractic adjustments
Chiropractic adjusting techniques are modified to fit a child's size, weight and unique spinal problem. Parents often report that their adjusted children seem healthier than ever before and miss less school than other, unadjusted kids their age. Many spinal problems seen in adults began in childhood. Proper spinal hygiene is an important key to better health.
Children benefit from chiropractic care before they are born, by having a mother who receives prenatal chiropractic checkups. A healthy diet, proper exercise, a stress-free environment and a chiropractic lifestyle help prepare for a happy, healthy baby.
