The birth process may be the cause of your child’s first subluxation. Subluxations are misalignments in your baby’s spine that interfere with or distort controlling nerve impulses between the brain and each part of the body.

Pulling, forcing and twisting a baby during birth can cause subluxations. Caesarean section, forceps and suction extraction can do unseen damage. The administration of drugs and anesthesia can also negatively affect a newborn.

With vital neurological signals compromised, your child’s health may be impaired from his/her first breath. Only a chiropractic examination can tell if subluxations are involved.

Ask yourself, how soon would I like my child’s nervous system working at 100%?

Unable to speak for themselves, many newborns experience unexplained crying, lack of appetite, difficulty feeding, colic, frequent ear infections or other signs of poor health. Spinal subluxations hinder your child’s ability to ward off infection. Weakened by a compromised nervous system, his/her stomach, lungs, nose, ears and throat can welcome viruses and other microbes.

Chiropractic care is all about restoring the integrity of the nervous system and the workings of every cell, tissue and organ in your child’s body.

Chiropractic care for children is different from that for adults. An infant’s spine rarely has the long standing muscle tightness seen in adults. Adjustments are tailored to your child’s age, weight and spinal condition – and often require no more pressure than you would use to test the ripeness of a tomato.

Many parents report that their children miss less school. They report improvement in their child’s ability to concentrate. Their child’s overall well-being and immunity is enhanced – resulting in less colds, earaches and general illness.

Chiropractic has helped with sleep issues, bed wetting and digestive problems. It has helped with asthma, allergies and breathing difficulties – as well as colic and irritable baby syndrome. Chiropractic improves spinal posture.

And the most important benefit is the hardest to measure: correcting subluxation allows for proper growth and development, preventing the onset of problems often seen later in adults.
