“When Should Children Start Chiropractic Care…?”

Chiropractic Care for Children
I am often asked at what age should children begin chiropractic care. My gut response is… as soon as you learn it is important for the health of your child. But since I’m not that blunt; let me put it like this…

If you leaned that something conclusively caused cancer? Wouldn’t you avoid that product, food or activity– immediately?

If you learned your child had a potentially serious medical problem, wouldn’t you seek out a specialist– immediately?

What Kind of Parent are You?

Are you the kind of parent who believes that children should:

· Eat vegetables?

· Drink water?

· Take Vitamins?

· Go to bed on time?

· Brush their teeth?

· Wash their hands?

· Comb their hair?

· Change their underwear?

If you answered “yes” to at least most of these questions then you are a concerned parent and you want what is best for your children. You are probably the type of person who would want your kids adjusted regularly if you knew it would prevent health problems for them.

Consider this…

· Every living cell, tissue, organ and system of your body works because nerves tell them to.

· If you interfere with the vital flow of information from the nerves to the cell or organ, dysfunction will occur and health will be lost.

· A common cause of interference is in the spinal bones that protect the nerves called a “subluxation”.

· A subluxation is where two or more spinal bones become misaligned or stuck.

· Subluxations may not be painful at first and can accumulate over time due to stress, falls, sports, accidents, heavy work, etc.

· Everyone’s first subluxation occurs when they are born…the birth process causes stress upon the neck and often results in misalignment not readily detectable by pediatricians who are untrained in this area.

· If subluxations are not corrected, they degenerate slowly over the years and cause malfunction and premature damage to the spinal bones and nerves.

· Doctors of Chiropractic are the only health care practitioners specifically trained to locate and correct subluxations. No other doctor is trained in this field. By gently moving the spinal bones by hand to relieve pressure, your chiropractor is unraveling the root cause of your illness.

· Once subluxations are relieved, the body begins to repair itself and health is restored.

· Proper health requires periodic spinal hygiene, much like oral hygiene requires regular brushing and cleaning. You don’t allow plaque to build up on your teeth, so why would you allow subluxations to build up and cause spinal decay?

One last thing to consider… Did you know that many of the back and neck problems you suffer with as an adult began when you were a child? Save your child years of suffering… Don’t let your child’s spine decay.

So, now I’ll turn the question around to you…when should you have your children start chiropractic care?

Right now!
