![]() Chiropractic Care for My Child?.... Why?......Their Back Doesn't Hurt... ![]() ![]() Yes, subluxations do occur in children and very often have little or no symptoms at this early stage. The birth process is very traumatic and can certainly cause enough pressure for a subluxation to occur. We've all heard of long deliveries, broken collar bones, breech deliveries, etc. Subluxations can occur when the child is born, when learning to walk (they can tumble and fall 150-200 times per day!), when they are older (playing sports and games which cause all types of trauma) and then before long they are involved in organized sports. See where I am going with this? ![]() I know safety is an issue for you. An adjustment for your child is a tiny light pressure (about the pressure used to check if a tomato is ripe) and the child can go on with his life. What if the unchecked subluxation leads to curvature? Why do you think as adults we have such chronic problems in our spine? Children usually need fewer adjustments as they do not have the years of damage. What if you did not go to the dentist for 20, 30 years? Also, please realize your pediatrician does not usually have training in Chiropractic. By all means, he will address your medical concerns. However you can not expect him to evaluate baby teeth or a subluxation. Please consult with an expert in the field, a family chiropractor. Also, most of our moms in the practice are happy to talk to you about chiropractic. Please contact us today for more information. ![]() |
