As parents, we would do anything for the health and safety of our children. We keep them secure in a car seat and strap a helmet on their head when they ride a bike. We provide them with a balanced, nutritious diet and try to minimize their intake of junk food. We teach them to brush their teeth and wash their hands. Now, a growing number of parents are also choosing Chiropractic care as a way to keep their children healthy and to prevent health problems from affecting their child’s growth and development.
PEDIATRIC CARE
Optimizing Your Child’s Health Potential
Catch Problems Early
Childhood can be physically traumatic on a growing spine and developing nervous system. Diaper changes can result in repeated folding and twisting of the spine. Infants constantly fall when they are learning to walk. Playground injuries are common and competitive sports places an overwhelming physical demand on a child’s underdeveloped body. For most of us, our spine experiences more physical trauma during childhood than in adulthood, however some choose to wait until they are an adult to address it.
Yes children can also have subluxations. Unfortunately, there is often no obvious way to tell if your child has a subluxation because children often don’t suffer from back pain. Back pain is often a result of a long standing problem that has caused degenerative changes. The immature spine can still have problems but because their condition has not had years of deterioration, it may not give them any pain yet. However, your child’s spinal misalignments can still interfere with their nervous system and can affect their expression of health.
Spinal subluxations like tooth decay can be silent for many years until we finally realize a problem is there. Periodic spinal checkups by a skilled chiropractor, is one of the best forms of healthcare for the prevention of more serious health problems down the road.
