Children and Chiropractic
Newborns
From
the very first experience of childbirth, the infant is
put under extreme stress,
as they pass through the birth canal. It is
a completely normal process, but it is inducing
mini-trauma to this young life. The birth process causes
a twisting and collapsing of bones
that
allows the baby to pass through the birth canal. In many
cases, this normal motion of body
collapse returns
back to its normal position. In other cases, the natural
and normal bone
re-positioning does not happen.
This trauma/stress can cause seizures, colic, constipation,
and
many other conditions.
It is in these cases that it is
vital the proper alignment is induced for healthy, normal
body
development. If these abnormal
changes are never corrected, the body develops and molds
into improper positions, and the
nervous system cannot function at 100%.
A chiropractic exam on a
newborn consists of gentle palpation of the spine, cranium,
and
extremities to see if any
subluxations are present. If a subluxation is present,
a gentle, non-force,
direct pressure
on the area is applied to allow the body to rotate back
into its proper alignment,
and the proper nerve supply is restored.
A
routine chiropractic exam of your newborn is an important
part of giving your baby
the best possible start to a healthy life. |

Young
Children and Teens
The early years of
a child’s life, from toddler to teenager, are
an extremely active time of life. It is a normal
thing for a child
to be very active, and, in turn, to place many stresses
on their growing and building bodies. The falls
off bikes, out of trees,
on the sports field, as well as all the other falls
that occur in a normal days’ activities, though
they may not be painful or even noticed, they should
be addressed in order to prevent problems in the
future. |

By
maintaining the body free of subluxations, the child’s
nervous system is able to function
properly. This, in turn,
will allow the body to have a better chance at having
a strong immune
system (decreasing illness
and disease), preventing injuries and building a
strong
and healthy body! |
