Today many parents are choosing to ensure that their children receive periodic chiropractic spinal check-ups-a safe, natural and gentle approach
to making sure your child is as healthy as possible. As a farther of seven, Dr. Stern has provided chiropractic care to all of his children throughout their entire lives.
As a concerned parent, you want the best for your child and no doubt wonder if your child is as healthy as he or she could be. Several factors
impact your child’s overall health. These include: diet, exercise, proper rest, emotional and spiritual support, and a properly functioning nervous
system.
A major component of health is the communication between your child’s brain and body. This vital link controls the growth, repair, and function of every tissue and organ. The spinal cord sends messages from the brain throughout the body via billions of nerves. Interference (nerve pressure or irritation) places the body in a state of disharmony. This can lead to decreased immune function and sickness.
As chiropractors, we understand the importance of regular exams for your child’s eyes, ears, nose, throat, hearing, and teeth, but some overlook
routine spinal check-ups. In fact, they could be the most important check-ups your child will ever receive.
Symptoms of Spinal Related Issues
Ear infections, asthma, colic, ADD/hyperactivity, bedwetting, learning disorders, and other health problems may actually be the result of nervous
system interference called vertebral subluxation complex. Doctors of Chiropractic are the only health care professionals trained in the
detection and correction of this problem. Children should have regular wellness visits to their Doctor of Chiropractic. Appropriate chiropractic
care can locate and correct these spinal problems, restoring normal spinal and nervous system function.
