Eighty percent of all children are subluxated at birth, and before six years of age your child will fall 2,500 times.
Within 2 weeks of an injury permanent injury can occur due to poor healing, decreased blood flow and misaligned bone.
An adjustment corrects the subluxation, allowing your child’s nervous system to function at 100%, at every waking and sleeping moment.
ChiroKids that get adjustments are sick less often and less severely. They also miss fewer days of school. These children also have fewer emotional, learning and neurological difficulties associated with childhood.
ChiroKids receive better grades in school; they can jump higher, run faster, and throw a ball farther than regular kids.
Unless a child has an obvious problem, it can be difficult for parents to recognize when a child has spinal subluxations. It is not always easy for someone other than a chiropractor, highly trained in evaluating the spine, to determine if the child has a problem, just as it is difficult for someone other than a dentist to determine if a child has any cavities. Both cases take the skills of a trained specialist to perform a thorough evaluation.
There are some signs however which parents may look for which can be an indicator of a child with a spinal problem. Common indicators of spinal problems may include the child’s head consistently being tilted to one side; restricted head or neck motion to one side; disturbed sleeping patterns where the child sleeps for only an hour or two at a time; feeding difficulties in the very young infant; the infant may have difficulty nursing at the breast on one particular side.
Spinal adjustments for infants and young children involve very light finger-tip adjustments to correct malfunctioning spinal structures. A light spinal adjustment, using no more than two pounds of pressure, is usually sufficient to restore mobility to spinal joints which have become locked and are causing interference with the normal function of the nervous system. Most adjustments make a “popping” sound when the spinal joints are moved, however this sound is not always heard when children’s spines are adjusted.
