| Should Children Get Chiropractic Care? |
As a concerned parent, you no doubt wonder if your child is as healthy as possible.
Many factors contribute to your child's overall health. A major component is the
communication between your child's brain and body. The communication is a vital link
controlling the growth, repair, and function of every tissue and organ in the body. Diet,
exercise, rest, and emotional and spiritual support are other important factors.
Chiropractic recognizes the importance of these factors as they contribute to your
child's health.
Newborn infants should be checked within hours after birth. The birth process, even
under natural and controlled conditions, is potentially traumatic. During the pushing
stage of labor, the spine, particularly the neck, may be injured as the baby is
compressed and pushed down the birth canal. The most frequent subluxation
experienced by newborns results from the pullings, twisting, and compression of the
infant's spine during birth.
Although birth subluxations may cause immediate symptoms, such as respiratory
depression, there may be far-reaching effects that are manifested for years. The child's
ability to fight against disease, for example, may be lowered. Colds, ear infections,
colic, and other illnesses may result.
Subluxations may also interfere with internal organ function, resulting in the inability to
produce chemicals responsible for raising and lowering body temperature as needed.
Research has also indicated that the body's immune response in the production of
anti-viral and anti-bacterial agents to fight infection is greatly compromised due to
vertebral subluxations.
Many childhood illnesses may be manifested in the pediatric patient due to abnormal
body function caused by subluxations. In light of this, Dr. Snyder may be the best
doctor to help your child.
