Natural births and Cesarean births can cause injuries and an infants first neurological compromise. Nervous system interference does not show up as back pain in infants, but rather as neurological disfunction that can lead to; ear infections, colic, irritability, trouble breastfeeding and poor sleeping habits.
Nerve interference may predispose to asthma, developmental delays, an inability to concentrate, behavioral problems, digestive system issues, headaches, bed wetting and scoliosis.
As a chiropractor , we don't always focus on treating the above conditions, but rather making sure the nervous system has the opportunity to work effectively and efficiently, thus enabling the body to create order and promote healing.
We all grow out of our paediatric conditions, such as colic, as the nervous system learns how to control the body appropriately. Chiropractic adjustments speed up the process by piggybacking nerve signals from the organs through spine and helping the nervous system/brain receive information from the organs.
Paediatric Chiro adjustments are not done with the same pressure as adult ones. It is a safe and effective way to treat your baby and child. With this is mind, if you have any questions regarding the article above, please give me a call or drop me a mail and I will gladly discuss with you.
