From birth through adolescence a child’s body goes through rapid growth and
constant
change. Childhood is full of bumps and bruises and more serious mishaps
... some of which have the potential to push a child’s spine out of
alignment.
Children get pushed, pulled, thrown, tossed about every
which way we can imagine ... so it is not surprising many children have
spinal misalignment. The
“childhood years” are the most important years for everyone. As your body takes
shape it is important to have proper spinal alignment.
LITTLE KIDS CAN HAVE BIG PROBLEMS
Many children with spinal misalignment as with adults, are not aware a problem
exists due to lack of pain. For example, nerve interference due to spinal
misalignment can cause communication between a child’s brain and bladder to
breakdown,
and cause bed wetting and other bladder control problems. Chiropractic
care can remove the interference that causes bladder control problems
with children.

Common Question: Is it safe for my kids to get adjusted by my chiropractor?
Yes ... of course it is! Kids
actually do much better then adults from their chiropractic
adjustments. Their subluxatons haven't had time to worsen and they also
heal very fast! Their adjustments last longer and they respond quicker.
It can be difficult to know if your child has spinal subluxations,
so it is not always easy to let someone other then a trained
chiropractor determine if there are any problems. In fact, regular
scheduled maintenance visits are probably as good for your child as
they for you! These are some common indicators that your child may have
spinal problems:
- Head consistently being tilted to one side
- Restricted head or neck movement to one side
- Disturbed sleeping patterns -child sleeps for only an hour or two at a time
- Feeding difficulties in a very young infant
- Difficulty breast nursing the infant at on one particular side
Some common examples of what chiropractic adjustments can handle:
- colic
- bed-wetting
- sleeping problems
- asthma
- eczema
Subluxations
can cause a whole bunch of things other than just back pain or neck
pain. Even giving birth can be so traumatic on the spine of the infant
thus creating subluxations. Can you imagine a child waiting until they
were say 35 or even 55 years old before they saw their first
chiropractor? That damage would be sitting there for 55 years. Please
bring you kids in with you on your next appointment, we look forward to
caring for your entire family!
