children "living out loud"
For many fortunate children today, visits to their Chiropractor have become a part of their regular routine... squeezed between sports practices, dancing school, orthodontist appointments, and piano lessons.
Why are parents bringing their children along for spinal checkups at the Chiropractor?
Look no further than mud-stained Little League uniforms, bumps and bruises from bike rides and swing sets, backpacks full of heavy books, laying on the couch or sleeping in awkward positions... and you'll realize the TREMENDOUS STRESS that today's culture puts on developing young spines.
Even the birth process... something we all have to go through... is unavoidably stressful for a tiny spine.
Just as your child has checkups at the pediatrician, dentist, and eye doctor, a spinal checkup by the Chiropractor is every bit as important for the beginnings of a healthy life. Why is that? Kids and babies don't typically have back pain...
It's because you child's NERVOUS SYSTEM development is happening at an incredible rate in their early years. A newborn has most of their brain cells and nerve cells that they need at birth, but it's the connections or "synapses" that develop in the first few years that will make the difference between healthy or faulty neurological development. Those synapses are made by experiences and interaction with baby's environment... so when communication over the nerves is clear, you child can grow with life and vitality.
But stresses on young spines can cause NeuroStructural Shifts. And as long as these spinal shifts remain uncorrected, they grow worse with time and set the stage for more serious spinal problems (and their Secondary Conditions) later down the road.
NeuroStructural Correction is safe and gentle for newborns and children of all ages. Although some people may be apprehensive about their child getting this kind of care, imagining it to be a "bone cracking" manipulation, that really isn't the case. NeuroStructural Correction analyzes exactly where your child's spine is already trying to adjust itself, and uses gentle forces in the same directions the body is already working. This ensures clear communications so that your child's body can function and heal CORRECTLY from birth, all the way through.
