Babies and Children

Like every child before it, from the moment your baby is born into this world he or she will suffer accidents and thousands of falls as they make their way through life. Your child may not initially complain and the effects of these accidents and falls may not be immediately obvious. However they can surface as problems later in life. Is your child suffering unnecessarily?

Not only does the spine provide support and allow movement of the body it also protects the central nervous system. The nervous system controls the way the whole body works. Unfortunately spinal problems may affect the nervous system and this can result in the body not functioning properly. Furthermore, spinal problems may also hinder the development of the nervous system. In the early years of life the nervous system does much of its growing and learning so it is extremely important that throughout this period the spine is cared for and monitored.

Indications that your baby or child may have spinal problems include symptoms such as:

Back pain.

Neck pain.

Headaches.

Growing Pains: You should not hurt because you are growing. Growing pains are usually caused by spinal problems referring pain down into the arms and or legs.

Nose bleeds.

Stomach cramps.

Poor co-ordination.

Colic: One study found that of 316 babies who suffered from Colic, 94% had satisfactory improvement after an average of three chiropractic treatments.

Ear Infections: Studies have shown that treatment with antibiotics is no more effective than if no treatment is given. In another study, children with ear infections under chiropractic care showed improvement in 43% of cases after two treatments and 93% of cases improved in total.

Chiropractors can detect and gently correct these spinal problems before they become obvious. Indeed, early correction will allow your child to grow and develop to their full potential.
