If neglected,
these bumps and falls during this period of rapid growth may
lead to serious spinal deformities later in life. This can set
the stage for scoliosis, "growing pains" and a weakened
immune system response.
The vertebrae
that protect the spinal cord can lose their normal motion or
position from a variety of teenage activities. Delicate nerve
tissue can be damaged, resulting in interference with the brain's
ability to control associated organs and tissues. Lost muscle
tone weakens the important support of the spine. Discs, blood
vessels, and other soft tissues can swell and become inflamed.
The body responds with bone spurs and abnormal bony growth, and
various systems may not be present, yet optimum health and well-being
are compromised. Doctors of Chiropractic are the only health
care professionals dedicated to the elimination and prevention
of the Vertebral Subluxation Complex.
Even with natural
childbirth methods, the birth process can be one of the most
traumatic events of your child's life.
The spine, which
houses the important nerve pathways of the spinal cord, can be
injured during delivery.
Sudden Infant
Death Syndrome (SIDS) research suggests that spinal damage can
interfere with the nerves that control a newborn's ability to
breathe. More and more parents are having their newborns checked
for spine-related problems immediately after birth. Uncorrected
spinal problems caused by the birth process are often quite apparent
during examination later in life.
Children can
benefit from chiropractic care before they are born, by having
a mother who receives prenatal chiropractic checkups. A healthy
diet, proper exercise, a stress-free environment, and a chiropractic
lifestyle help prepare for a happy, healthy baby.
