Children
and the Chiropractic Lifestyle
The birth process may be one of the most traumatic
events of our lives...
| Even
so-called "natural" birthing methods can stress
a still-developing spine. The resulting irritation to the
nervous system can be the cause of many newborn health complaints.
Colic, unexplained crying, poor appetite, breathing problems,
and allergic reactions can often be traced to nervous system
dysfunction caused by a malfunctioning spine.
Head
support, followed by crawling, and a baby's first few steps
should be followed by chiropractic checkups. If neglected,
the bumps and falls during this period of rapid growth may
lead to serious spinal deformities later in life. This can
set the stage for scoliosis, "growing pains,"
and a weakened immune system response.

Chiropractic
adjusting techniques are modified to fit a child's size,
weight, and unique spinal problem. Parents often report
that their children seem healthier than other kids their
age. Many spinal
problems seen in adults begin in childhood. Proper spinal
hygiene is an important key to better health. Do you know
a child who could benefit from chiropractic care. |

Children
benefit from chiropractic care before they are born, by
a having a mother who receives prenatal chiropractic checkups.
A healthy diet, proper exercise, a stress-free environment,
and a chiropractic lifestyle help prepare a happy, healthy
baby.
A continuing
schedule of regular chiropractic checkkups can help detect,
correct and maintain optimum spinal and nervous system
dysfunction. Find out how chiropractic care, combined
with proper diet, exercise, and other aspects of good
health and personal hygiene can enhance your child's well-being
and help them enjoy life to the fullest. Ask Dr. Steven
Cane at the University Health Center for a care program
designed for your child's age, condition, and lifestyle.
