subject: Pediatric Chiropractic Care? Why? My Childs Back Doesnt Hurt! [print this page] Parents who appreciate the importance of checkups for their childs teeth, hearing, eyes, ears, nose and throat draw a blank when it comes to their childs spine. Child chiropractic care (i.e., a spinal check up) could be the most important check up of your childs life! Why? In addition to the stress of childbirth, the constant jumping, falling, running and bumping of a normal childhood often cause vertebral subluxations, with serious health consequences if left uncorrected.
As parents become more knowledgeable of the physical body, more and more are taking their children for pediatric chiropractic treatments. With a healthy spinal column, a childs body can better deal with the sore throats, ear infections, stomach-aches, fevers, measles, mumps and the myriad of other problems that often occur during a young life. Without pediatric chiropractic care, some children will live in continued sickness, condemned to a life of taking medicines and perhaps even surgery.
Physical and Psychological Benefits of Child Chiropractic Care Observed --
Correction of vertebral subluxations in childrens spines can have a powerful effect on many aspects of their lives. For decades many parents have noticed positive changes in the physical health, behaviour and emotional state of their children following a chiropractic adjustment. Among the observed effects of subluxations correction have been improvements in emotional, behavioural 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 U.S. alone who suffer from a learning impairment, child chiropractic holds promise as a non-drug alternative. All children with learning disabilities and similar problems should have a chiropractic spinal check up.
