HOW DO CHILDREN BENEFIT FROM CHIROPRACTIC CARE?

Even today's birthing procedures can put tremendous pressure on a child's spine.  And while the injury from forceps deliveries may be less common today, a vacuum extraction and eager hands can do even more damage by pulling, forcing, and twisting the baby's young spine.

Without the language to explain, many newborns experience colic, unexplained crying, lack of appetite, frequent ear infections or other poor health.  A chiropractic examination is essential to determine if birth trauma to the spine is involved.

Later, regular chiropractic checkups are helpful to monitor spinal development as infants sit upright, support their heads, learn to crawl and take their brave first steps.  Many experts believe that uncorrected spinal problems during this early stage of development cause the chronic, hard-to-correct subluxations seen in adults. 

As you make decisions about your babies health care and are confronted with the issues of antibiotics, vaccinations and the growing use of behavior altering drugs, consult with you chiropractor.  Seek accurate information and make an informed choice.  First, make sure your child has the best chance to be all that he or she can be by having a nervous system free of subluxations.
