San Francisco Chiropractor comments on the benefits of spinal adjustments for children:
I get some strange looks sometimes when I tell my patients I adjust my 2 year old daughter. It's the same kind of look they gave me when I showed them their X-rays...and it was like...HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? Well, just like I explained to them...most spinal problems that adults present with started when they were little children.
Remember all those spills and falls? How about learning how to ride a bike...did you have any wipe-outs? Well, unless you were adjusted by a chiropractor within a short time after it happened, there's a good chance something was knocked out of alignment...and stayed that way. Then, as you got older and attended grade school, you started to sit at a desk for 4-5 hours a day. Those desk are not exactly ergonomically correct. Then college and more sitting...sports...then the real world...where we get to add stress to the equation. Actually, it's amazing what we put our spine's through...and how well they hold up.
So, can you see how beneficial it would have been to have received chiropractic adjustments as a child? First of all, children are much easier to adjust. You barely need to use any force at all. They are easy to check and easy to treat. They only need to be checked every so often...say once a month. Any misaligned vertebrae can then be moved back into a more normal position so that they do not create fertile soil for spinal problems down the road.
Chiropractic is very safe and very gentle. Your children will look forward to their chiropractic adjustments after they get comfortable with the chiropractor. It just makes sense. I know my 2 year old daughter will be much better off as she gets older because of the treatment she will receive from me as we go. It already shows. So, don't be afraid to have your children checked out by a chiropractor...it's the smart thing to do.
