Chiropractic care for kids!
“Chiropractic care for my kid? Why? His back doesn’t bother him.”
Chiropractors hear this all the time. All parents appreciate the importance of having check-ups for the child’s teeth, eyes, ears, nose, and throat, but when it comes to a spinal check-up, they do not know it is necessary. Kids chiropractic care is an essential part to a healthy life!
Regular nervous system check-ups for your child can be some of the most important check-ups in their life. Many people are surprised when they hear that children can be helped with chiropractic care. The truth is, kids chiropractic care is vital for proper development. Just as adults need a properly functioning nervous system, free of interference, so do children. You may not be aware of this but traumatic birth syndrome is actually very common and often unrecognized as the cause of numerous health problems. It’s also interesting to note that only chiropractors are properly trained to detect and correct the subtle, yet very significant misalignments and nervous system imbalances that can occur either in the womb or during a “normal” hospital birth. “Normal” obstetrical procedures involve pulling the newborn baby out by the head. Your child was meant to be guided out, not pulled! The resulting spinal subluxations can be the cause of newborn health complaints like colic, ear infections, and allergic reactions, even poor appetite and unexplained crying. It’s hard looking at a young adult and saying if only you had been talking to a chiropractor when you were younger that could have prevented scoliosis, degeneration, etc.
Also, childhood is a very physical time. The falls, accidents, jumping and running are all part of childhood and they can cause spinal subluxations. How many times does a little one walking for the first time take a spill? It would be wise for all parents to have their children’s spine checked regularly.
Won’t it hurt them? Chiropractic adjusting techniques are modified to fit a child’s size and weight. The force needed to adjust an infant or a child is so little. I palpate the spine, find interference or areas of stress and lean into it. I use minimal pressure for infants, I use my pinky and enough pressure to press in on a ripe tomato.
