Working with Children

“Chiropractic care for my child? Why? His back doesn’t bother him.”

How often chiropractors have encountered parents who appreciate the importance of regular checkups for their child’s teeth, hearing eyes and ears but draw a blank when it comes to a spinal checkup. In fact, a spinal checkup could be one of the most important checkups your child ever has.

Your child’s spine is his/her lifeline because running through it is his or her spinal cord, containing billions of nerve fibres that send messages and energy to every part of their body.

BLOCKAGE OF NERVES IN THE SPINE

If there is blockage of any of the nerves along the spinal cord or any nerve damage at all, then a state of “dis-ease” will develop. Dis-ease (a term long used by chiropractors and others to describe a state of disharmony in the body) will cause a generalised weakening of your child’s body, lowered resistance to disease, and consequent body malfunction and sickness.
Blockage of nerves in the spine is usually caused by tiny fixations and misalignments of the spinal vertebrae that chiropractors call vertebral subluxation.

THE FIRST SUBLUXATION

How can a child’s spine lose its natural alignment? There are many causes for subluxation. Injury to a baby’s spine can be caused by a difficult delivery, a breech position or simply too much stress on the child’s body. Health problems early in infancy can be traced to a difficult delivery.

SPINAL CHECKUPS ARE VITAL

If your child is suffering from any of these common conditions it is essential to get his/her spine checked for vertebral subluxations.

Chiropractic is a different approach to health care. It is not a treatment for disease or conditions. All children need chiropractic care to ensure their spines are healthy.

Childhood is a very physical time, jumping and running, falls and accidents are all part of a normal childhood and yet they can cause spinal misalignments and nerve damage – with serious consequences. Many parents have noticed positive changes in the physical health, behaviour and emotional states of their children following a chiropractic adjustment.
