One Well Adjusted Child

 

 

Kate loves getting adjusted too!

 

"Chiropractic care for my child?  Why?  His back doesn't hurt."
 

Parents who often appreciate the importance of checkups for their child's teeth, hearing, eyes, ears, nose and throat may draw a blank when it comes to the spine.  The good news is that you can do better for your children, just bring them to see us.

 

A spinal checkup could be one of the most important of your child's life. Why? In addition to the stress of childbirth, the constant jumping, falling, running and bumping of a normal childhood often cause joint trauma, with serious health consequences if left uncorrected.

 

Symptoms may range from sleeplessness, uncoordination, seizures, excessive vomiting, digestive problems, elimination (pooping) problems, to lowered resistance to infections, especially to ear-nose-and-throat infections.

 

For over one hundred years, doctors of chiropractic have observed often dramatic responses from some infants after a chiropractic spinal adjustment.  Increased investment in chiropractic research by state and federal government is now proving statistically that these anecdotal stories were right all along.

 

Today we thankfully find more parents bringing their children to us for spinal checkups. With a healthy spinal column, a child's body can better deal with the sore throats, ear infections, stomach-aches, fevers, measles, mumps and the 101 other problems that often make up young life. Without chiropractic care some children will live in continued sickness, condemned to a life of taking medicines and perhaps even surgery.

 

 

 

 

 

Psychological Benefits of Chiropractic Care

Correction of vertebral subluxations in children's spines can have a powerful effect on many aspects of their lives.

 

For decades many parents have noticed positive changes in the physical health, behavior and emotional states of their children following a chiropractic adjustment. Among the observed effects of subluxation correction have been improvements in emotional, behavioral and neurological problems such as asthma, anxiety, low mental stamina, inability to concentrate, hyperactivity, dyslexia, learning disabilities, attention deficit disorders, discipline problems and even low grades.

 

For many of the millions of school children in the United States alone who suffer from a learning impairment, chiropractic holds promise as a non-drug alternative. All children with learning disabilities and similar problems should have a chiropractic spinal checkup.  

 

Reduction in Childhood Ear Infections

Chiropractic care is one of the best things you can give a child suffering from an ear infection. Doctors of chiropractic have often noticed chiropractic's profound effect on ears and hearing. Among many chiropractic case histories, those of T. & P. Roger, ages 6 and 9, are common. Both children were medically diagnosed with chronic ear infections and had been on antibiotics for years. "Both children have been free of medication and over-the-counter drugs for the three years since their first spinal adjustment." 

 

It is essential that anyone with an ear infection consider a chiropractic spinal checkup. Keeping your child's spine free from vertebral subluxations will help your child's natural defenses against disease.
