San Francisco Chiropractor Comments:
It is my opinion that a primary contributor to chronic health problems in adults, including back pain, is poor lifestyle choices made for us by our parents when we were too young to decide for ourselves.
It really does irritate me when I see parents letting their children eat junk foods day in and day out. I'm not sure what these parents think? Maybe they think children can eat anything and it doesn't really matter.
Meanwhile, the stage is being set for chronic disease later in life. Kids tend to take on the habits (good and bad) of their parents. And, there is an overwhelming body of scientific evidence that suggest that what a child eats early in life will effect their body chemistry throughout their life. What a mother eats during pregnancy also has a profound effect on the future health of the fetus.
So...what does this have to do with chiropractic check-ups starting young?
Well, it has everything to do with it. All the spills and falls we take as kids can cause the spine to go out of alignment, and these misalignment's (vertebral subluxations) can lead to early disc and spine degeneration, scoliosis, and chronic pain.
Think about it...how many times did you fall as a kid? Learning how to walk, run, play, ride a bike, sports, soccer, ballet, football, etc.
Like the saying goes...As the twig is bent...so grows the tree.
If a bone in a child's spine is out of position during the growth spurts, it could lead to scoliosis. Your child will still grow...just out of alignment.
Kids love chiropractic adjustments after they get used to them. They don't need them as frequently as adults...and they respond must quicker (and the results last longer) than adults.
So how early can my child be seen by a chiropractor?
I checked my daughter right after she was born. Heck...it takes 40-60 lbs of pressure to extract a baby from the birth canal. Your kids first subluxation can happen right there.
Hey...don't be scared. The adjustment for infants is just a tap. The force for kids is really light. The frequency of check-ups is say once per month or every other month...unless they are in pain...then right away.
Bottom Line: Chiropractic is a family affair. One of the main reasons I wanted to have our chiropractic clinic open on Saturday in San Francisco was to see kids, and Saturday is the perfect day. We Validate Parking. So do your kids a favor and have them checked...they will thank you later...believe me :-)
