WHY DO KIDS NEED CHIROPRACTIC CARE?
The bones in your spine can misalign. When they do, they can put pressure on the nerves that come out from the spinal cord between the bones of the spine. These nerves send and receive messages from the brain to every cell, tissue, and organ in your body. If there is interference in these messages, the body cannot function at 100%. This interference, caused by pressure on nerves when the bones in the spine misalign, is called a subluxation. Subluxations are detected and corrected by chiropractors.
THREE THINGS CAUSE SUBLUXATIONS:
- Physical Stress
– Some examples are: the birth process, improperly carrying a backpack, falls, sports injuries, and automobile accidents.
- Chemical Stress
– This is anything that causes a chemical imbalance in the body. Chemical imbalance can be caused by too much sugar or caffeine, medications, or a diet that is high in processed foods.
- Emotional Stress - Children can become emotionally stressed about things that we may not even realize they are aware of. They are very perceptive and pick up on a parent's nervousness or worry. Children may also get emotionally stressed about school, sports, or some other activity that they participate in.
With regular chiropractic care, your children can have a properly functioning nervous system. A properly functioning nervous system will in turn result in the proper function of all the other systems in your child's body. Children who are under chiropractic care tend to be sick less, get well faster, and have a healthier
immune system.
