Chiropractic For Children, Kids Have Spines Too!
• Today's birthing procedures can put tremendous pressure on a child's spine.
• Kids fall 2,000 times by the age of two.
• Each year 4 million children are injured on the playground or team sports.
• 80% of children will complain of back pain by the time they finish with high school.
The First Subluxation…Birth
• Often 40-50 pounds of pressure to the cervical spine is used in a normal vaginal delivery.
• Left uncorrected many of the spinal traumas experienced by children become the more difficult to correct problems seen later in adults.
• Many newborns experience colic, poor sleep, poor appetite, ear infections, etc.
• Birth is a cause of subluxation for both mother and child.
• Uncorrected can lead to bedwetting, asthma, allergies, attention deficit, and scoliosis.
“As the twig bends, so grows the tree”
• Optimize their growth and development with an optimal spine and nervous system.
• Left uncorrected, subluxations will worsen over time and cause a breakdown in spinal mechanic performance and affect the health of the nervous system.
Adjustments on Children
• Adjustment techniques are modified for each person's size and unique spinal problem, and an infant's spine rarely has the long-standing muscle tightness seen in adults.
• A child's chiropractic adjustments are gentle, comfortable and effective. No more pressure than you'd use to test the ripeness of a tomato.
• Kids don't need the number of adjustments that adults and our seasoned patients may need.
• Did you know that some insurance coverages often waive co-pays for their chiropractic check-ups? Please ask the front desk to set aside a few minutes to check your children on your next visit.
“Kid's have spines too! Get them an early check-up.”
