Why Should a Child Go To The Chiropractor?

"Why would I take my child to a chiropractor? His back doesn't hurt. "
-Many parents see the importance of taking their children in for check-ups of their child's teeth, hearing, eyes, ears, nose, and throat but never considered the importance of a check-up of their children's spine.

A spinal check up may be one of the most important things you can do for your child. Why? The birth process alone puts tremendous stress on the newborn spine that could lead to many health problems. The normal jumping, falling, running, bumping, flipping of childhood can cause vertebral subluxations, with serious health consequences if uncorrected. With a healthy spine, a child's body can better deal with sore throats, ear infections, stomach aches, fevers, and the many other problems that can be present during childhood.

Emotionally Healthy Children:

Doctors and parents have observed often dramatic improvements in the physical, emotional, and neurological health of children following chiropractic care. This includes children with learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD, anxiety, concentration problems, dyslexia, discipline problems, low IQ, and low grades.

Ear Infections:

In many cases ear infections are observed to disappear after spinal adjustments, saving children from antibiotics and ear-tube surgery. There are many problems with antibiotic use in children including but not limited to allergic reactions, GI upset, antibiotic resistance and destruction of the guts intestinal flora leading to yeast proliferation. Tubes often do not create lasting cures with infections commonly returning within two months and the tubes can affect hearing loss later.


*Keeping your child's spine free from vertebral subluxation will boost their natural defenses against disease.
