The most common causes of symptoms in children are:
The chiropractor can also be significant when other types of complaints arise. For example: reflux, excessive crying, poor sleep, eczema and allergies.
Our spine protects the nervous system which is connected to the brain. If there are subluxations (blockages) here, nerves are pinched off, reducing the ability to heal. So subluxations are not the cause of the symptoms, but they can get in the way of healing.
During the intake we will discuss your child’s symptoms in detail, however, no scan is done in children. Through a physical examination, we explain where subluxations occur and exactly what that means for your little one’s health.
We also look for any preferred posture and misalignment. After the examination, the child immediately receives the first correction. This is done in a very gentle and cautious manner. Furthermore, we take all the time to make the child feel at ease. If the child is a little younger, the parent takes a seat on the couch together with the child.
Based on the complaints, we can give a recommendation regarding a possible intensive phase. Children who get there early are naturally less likely to need treatment to resolve any problems.
After any intensive period, it is enough to return monthly for what we call “maintenance. In fact, due to everyday stresses of life, we all get “stuck” on a regular basis.
Babies also regularly get subluxations from falling while playing, for example, and for optimal health it is important to have them corrected.
Wear and tear, also called osteoarthritis, on the spine is what plaque is to teeth: even if we brush and do our best to prevent it, deposits can still form on teeth. With osteoarthritis, the cartilage that sits between the vertebrae becomes less. Thus, nothing can be done about the osteoarthritis itself, but a regular visit to the chiropractor can greatly reduce osteoarthritis symptoms, thereby providing relief.
