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.
