Questions Parents Frequently Ask About Children and Chiropractic
Why?
Children are as susceptible to trauma in their spines from various activities and
events. These microtraumas can subluxate the vertebrae of the spine, placing
pressure on their spinal nerves and therefore decreasing their bodies' ability to
function normally. Although symptoms, such as pain and malfunction may
not show up for years, injury to their vital nervous system can have a lifetime
of damaging effects.
When?
Children should be checked right after birth because of the potential
damaging effects of the birth process. Even the most natural births are
somewhat traumatic to the infant and may have "hidden damage". Studies
show that many children who experience symptoms of colic, ear-infections
and asthma have spinal subluxations impairing their nervous system function.
Early detection and correction can prevent layers of damage from occurring
in the child's vital nervous system. Accumulated damage will have lifelong
consequences.
Does it Hurt?
Chiropractors specializing in children use very specific, gentle techniques to
care for children. On the very young, the adjustment is as light as a finger
touch. Doctors of Chiropractic who are members of the International
Chiropractic Pediatric Association have taken post-graduate classes on
specific techniques for pregnant mothers, infants and children to enhance
their skills in this field.
How?
Most of the members of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association
offer complimentary consultations, giving parents the opportunity to meet
them, find out about chiropractic for their families and discuss their individual
needs.
