subject: Chiropractic Doctor Helps Children Have Healthy Spines [print this page] Starting a child on a regimen that includes regular visits to a Boulder chiropractic office can help the child to grow up with a healthy spine. Most children injure themselves on a regular basis when they jump, slip, twist, and fall. These injuries may be ignored, but when left unattended, they can be the beginning of long term damage and early wear of the discs in the back.
A successful Chiropractor is able to engender trust with the individuals they work with. When a child meets a grown-up for the first time, they are usually timid and tense. It is important that the doctor you select is able to make the child feel comfortable and relaxed before they start working on them.
The chiropractor will also understand a child's need to see all of the "stuff" in a chiropractic office. If you have been visiting the same doctor for several years, you may not even notice the items in their office.
The tour is an excellent opportunity for the doctor to talk to the child, at their level, about what a spine needs to maintain good health. In many cases, the chiropractor will use a three dimensional model of the spine to show the child the different areas that will be helped when they are adjusted.
When the doctor has developed a trusting relationship with the child, they will begin to introduce them to the different things the child can do at home to keep their spine healthy. Learning these steps early in life will give the child a much healthier spine as they get older.
When parents begin a regimen with a Boulder Chiropractic doctor for their child, it will be very easy for the youngster to become accustomed to the different types of adjustment that the chiropractor performs. In addition, they will be able to avoid many of the painful episodes that occur when a child experiences growth spurts as they get older.
