Children's
Health and Chiropractic
There are some
people who will tell you that you shouldn’t bring a child to a
chiropractor. They will tell you children don’t have back problems.
BUT let me tell you why people DO bring their children in to the
chiropractor. In one word WELLNESS.
Wellness is
why they bring them. Just look at the overwhelming evidence. We
have known for many
years that
the nervous system controls the immune system. It only takes about
the weight of a dime on a nerve to reduce the health of the nerve
60%. If the nerve is not healthy it loses its ability to function
properly. If it doesn’t function the nervous system won’t be able
to control immune response appropriately. As a result of this your
body becomes susceptible to viruses and infections.
Clinical
evidence reveals that children under chiropractic care have 50%
less childhood illnesses (ear infections, sinus infections, tonsil
and throat problems, etc.)
How safe is
chiropractic for children… very safe. As a matter of fact one of
the best ways to determine
how safe a
healthcare treatment is will be to look at the malpractice rates. A
chiropractors rate is approximately .008 of an orthopedics with the
chiropractor having 3 times the amount of coverage. A treatment on
a child is different than an adult treatment in a lot of ways, so
don’t be mislead by someone who doesn’t know or understand what a
chiropractors training requirements are and what it is that we
do to treat
children. I have personally adjusted many children with great
success. As a matter of fact the children are usually more anxious
to get adjusted than their parents once they experience a
treatment.
So look at the bright side,
children under preventive chiropractic care are happier, healthier,
and are not staying at home developing the same problems that their
parents are suffering with. What have you got
to lose by having your child
checked for spinal problems, a future of possible health problems
and misery.
