Children & Chiropractic |
At a first glance, chiropractic may appear to be a radical new approach to pediatric health
care. However throughout its more than 100 year history, chiropractic has always included
children amongst its growing number of patients. In fact, chiropractic care has succeeded in
restoring health to children, often in the face of traditional medicine's failure to provide an
effective remedy.
The doctor of chiropractic seeks to restore optimal nervous system function, through the
realignment of spinal vertebrae, thus affecting the entire performance of the body. Through
an appreciation of the influence of the nervous system's ability to resist both bacterial and
viral assaults on the body's defenses, it is possible to understand the positive influence that
chiropractic can have on the overall health of the patient; adult and children.
Because the normal physiology of the body is controlled by the nervous system, small
misalignments of the bones in the spine can cause interference with this system. This can
affect the way the body functions.
For example, malfunctioning spinal nerves can cause tight muscles in the neck, which in turn
can block the flow of fluid from the middle ear. Young children are already predisposed to
insufficient drainage through the eustachean tube due to its more horizontal alignment.
Childhood health problems such as colic, earaches, bed wetting and asthma are just a few of
the conditions for which chiropractors have often been able to find solutions.
