An increasing number of parents are seeking chiropractic care for their children, often beginning at birth. Even a natural, easy birth puts stress on the baby’s newly formed spine and nerve system. Current research states that the best time for a child to be checked is immediately following birth. Nerve irritation can cause symptoms such as colic, breathing problems, nursing difficulties, sleep disturbances and chronic infections.
It is important to understand that the doctor of chiropractic does not treat conditions or diseases specifically. A chiropractor instead checks the child’s spine for misalignments that impair nervous system function leading to overall body function. The bones of the spine, the vertebrae, house and protect the spinal cord. The spinal cord is the ‘lifeline’ that carries information from the brain to the body and back to the brain again. Subluxations interfere with the nerves’ ability to transmit this vital information leading to poor health, dis-ease, and eventually disease.
Chiropractic will enhance your child’s ability to function in a greater state of health, growing to their fullest potential of health.
