 I love it when my daughter asks me for an adjustment because she knows that she has Subluxation. She is almost eight years old now and has been getting adjusted since she was born. She is one of the healthiest children I know. When her classmates are dropping like flies due to the latest cold or flu she doesn't skip a beat. Our office is filled with children so many of our newer patients inevitably ask if they should get their children checked out for spinal misalignment. This is a great opportunity for me to make sure they understand the benefits of chiropractic are far greater than just pain relief and increased range of motion. Chiropractic in children has been extensively researched and has shown to help with ear infections, ADHD and immunity.I always make sure to educate my patients that the Nerve System is the master communication system of the body which controls and regulates all other systems including the immune system. I go on to explain that the Nerve System is encapsulated in the spine and that it branches off at every level to accomplish various functions. Since there are 24 movable vertebra of the spine, these segments can misalign due to physical, chemical and mental/emotional stress. When this occurs messages are blocked between the brain and the body which leads to altered communication and eventually a lack of function. If I have done my job sufficiently, than most parents would agree their children should get checked by a chiropractor for spinal misalignment or what we call Subluxation. I know my children stumbled numerous times while learning to stand, crawl and eventually walk. We can't escape the fact that our children face stress in life. Chiropractic can help to dissipate this stress and ensure that our children thrive.
