Every Level of Human Performance is Under the Control of the Nervous System. If chiropractic care is necessary to your good health and for reaching your full potential in life as an adult, then it logically follows that it is even more necessary for a child! Children have nerve systems that control and coordinate all of their body functions just as you do. And, just like you, they can get subluxations that will interfere with the full outward expression of their Life force. The only difference is that they still have an entire lifetime ahead of them in which to manifest the results of what they do today. It’s Never Too Soon Subluxations can occur at any time. The first one may very well have occurred at your baby’s birth. That is why parents who understand the importance of being subluxation-free have their newborns checked by their chiropractor as soon after birth as possible. By correcting subluxations at an early age, the damage that inevitably comes from functioning at less than optimal levels can be prevented. The longer a subluxation is present, the greater the damage. In addition, the longer a subluxation is present, the longer your child’s body will continue to “reproduce itself” (grow) in sickness! We either grow health on a daily basis or we grow sickness. How can a cell, with lowered nerve control, be expected to co-ordinate the millions of chemical processes internally and respond to its outer environment? Many people who come into a chiropractor’s office for the first time as adults would have had far greater potential for regaining their health if they had received regular chiropractic care as children. Kids Make Great Patients! Adjusting a child is not a difficult procedure. In fact, in most cases your child will barely even feel the adjustement. A child’s spine and nervous system is much easier to adjust than an adult’s. They have not had the long-standing subluxations, their muscles are usually not as tense and they are usually more relaxed in general than adults. Not only are kids easier to adjust, but also in most cases, they hold their adjustments for longer periods of time and their corrective adjustment plans are almost always significantly shorter than the average adult. However, with the falls, accidents and the generally active lives most kids experience, regular check-ups are vital. It’s Worth the Effort Most kids really look forward to their regular chiropractic visits. Chiropractic adjustments are vital to your child’s good health and are well worth the benefits to our precious little ones. Chiropractic Care is Vital to Your Child’s Health and Life! Chiropractic care for your children is vital to their health and is an absolute necessity to their development and for actualisation of his/her full potential in every area of life. We have a Family Fee Plan that makes it affordable for most families to receive the care they need. Children who are adjusted regularly from infancy think of their visits to the chiropractor as a regular part of their lives. Is Chiropractic Right For My Family? The way you answer this simple question will tell you if you should consider chiropractic for your whole family:
The ONLY way to know your child is free of nerve interference is to have your whole family checked regularly. If you have not already made a time to come visit us, please do so. Chiropractic and Children: It's All About Function (Originally Published via the Children’s Chiropractic Research Foundation) What can chiropractic do for your child? Why do millions of parents bring their children to Doctors of Chiropractic every year? Is it only for highly dramatic health conditions? Is it only for when my child is hurting? Not at all! Chiropractic's purpose is to remove interferences to the natural healing power running through the body. When that power is unleashed the healing that results may be profound. Today we find more parents bringing their children to chiropractors for day-to-day health concerns we're all familiar with: colds, sore throats, ear infections, fevers, colic, asthma, tonsillitis, allergies, bed-wetting, infections, pains, falls, stomach-aches, and the hundred and one little and big things children go through as they grow up. Chiropractors Do Not Treat Disease It's most important to understand that chiropractic is not a treatment for disease. It's purpose is to remove spinal nerve stress, a serious and often painless condition most children (and adults) have in their bodies. Spinal nerve stress interferes with the proper functioning of the nervous system, can weaken internal organs and organ systems, lower resistance, reduce healing potential and set the stage for sickness and disorders of all kinds. When a chiropractor frees the nervous system from spinal stress, the healing power of the body is unleashed: the immune system functions more efficiently, resistance to disease increases, and your child's body functions more efficiently. Your child can respond to internal and external environmental stresses such as germs, changes in temperature, humidity, toxins, pollen and all the other stresses he/she comes in contact with more efficiently. So although children with diseases are often brought to the chiropractor, the chiropractor is not treating their diseases but is instead freeing them of spinal nerve stress, thus permitting their body's natural healing potential to function at its best. What Exactly Is Nerve Stress? Spinal nerve stress (also referred to as vertebral subluxations, the subluxation complex, or "pinched nerves") is a misalignment or distortion of the spinal column, skull, hips, and related tissues (the structural system) that irritate, stretch, impinge or otherwise interfere with the proper function of the nervous system (brain, spinal cord, spinal nerves and outlying or peripheral nerves). Since the nervous system controls the function of the body, any interference to it can have wide-ranging effects. How Is Spinal Stress Caused? Spinal nerve stress can be caused by physical, chemical and/or emotional stress. Physical stress may start in the womb, with the baby lying in a distorted or twisted manner. Spinal nerve stress in newborns is more common than previously realized This may be caused by a traumatic or difficult birth which can introduce great stress to the infant's skull, spinal column and pelvis. Throughout childhood, the normal childhood traumas every child experiences can be a source of spinal and cranial trauma. Most of the time, the pain from the initial injury "goes away" however the damage incurred continues to affect the future function of the child's nerve system. How Does the Chiropractor Correct Spinal Nerve Stress? This is accomplished first by analyzing the spinal column and related structures for balance and proper function. Where the spinal column is found to be functioning improperly, the Doctor of Chiropractic performs precise corrective procedures called spinal adjustments. Using his/her hands and/or specialized instruments to gently and specifically correct those abnormal areas, the spine and cranium regain their intended state of balance and the nerve system is freed from stress. It's All About Function! Today's parents are more concerned than ever about the adverse effects drugs have on their children. Parents are increasingly asking, when handed a prescription for a child's recurrent problem, "Is this really all I can do for my child? Is there a safer alternative?" Parents are hesitant to merely mask symptoms with drugs and are worried about side effects. Their desire to achieve a state of true health-has led parents to seek health care options which support their children's own natural ability to be healthy. Chiropractic care is one such option. All children function better with 100% nerve function. All children deserve the right to express their fullest potential. Chiropractic care for children is safe, gentle and effective. It allows for the opportunity for maximum potential for well-being. As the Twig is Bent, So Grows the Tree!
ACORNS INTO OAK TREES by Dr. Kevin Donka Inside of every acorn, there is the potential and the ability to become a mighty oak tree. The acorn just needs a few things to realize this potential. It needs some sun, air, water, good nutrition from the soil, and one more thing… It needs to be free of interference so that the innate processes that grow it from acorn to oak tree can progress. Chiropractic says that we are all just like acorns. It says that within each of us is a very special purpose. This is our potential. And, just like that acorn, in order for us to reach our potential, we require a few things. We need some sun, air, water, good nutrition, and one thing more. We also need to be free from interference in our nerve systems so that we can adapt to all the physical, chemical and mental stresses that we encounter in our lives, heal any injuries that we may have and continue to grow and unfold into whatever we are meant to be. The subluxation process interferes with normal communication between your brain and the cells of your body. As a result, you no longer have full expression of your “Innate intelligence” or “Life Force.” This causes a loss in the ability to adapt completely to internal and external stresses. In turn, the body functions at a less than optimal level. This is referred to as a state of “dis-ease.” The specific chiropractic adjustment process removes the interference caused by subluxations. This allows the free flow of your Life Force and therefore restores the ability to adapt more completely to both internal and external physical, chemical and mental stresses, as well as to heal and grow. The most important thing to realize here is that chiropractic is not a “treatment” for anything. It is, very simply, a way to remove interference to the full outward expression of your Life Force. It is a way to help ensure the greatest possible chance of fully expressing your purpose and your potential in life. In this way, chiropractic helps “acorns” become the “oak trees” they were meant to be. How many “acorns” do you have at home that need chiropractic care? |
