Spinal dysfunction or nerve irritation at any age can cause pain and effect optimal health.  Many spinal problems seen in adults start in childhood.  Chiropractic improves spinal function thereby optimizing the body's ability to heal.  Each stage of our life subjects us to a variety of situations which may create spinal dysfunction. 

 

Infants may suffer spinal dysfunction from the birth process , as well as from the simple strain of holding their head up.  Not to mention all the bumps and falls they take when first exploring their horizons in crawling and walking!

 

Children can suffer various injuries from sports, falling off a bike or other slips and falls.  They may also have poor posture from sitting improperly at school, watching television, or playing video games.  In addition, children often suffer back strain from over-loaded school back packs.  See Dr. Corey for a brochure on how to check if your son or daughter is carrying too heavy a load.

 

Teens often suffer from the same strains they did as children plus the additional emotional stress, hormonal changes associated with puberty or their growing responsibilities.  Chiropractic care can help teenagers adapt to their new bodies.

Dr. Corey cannot stress enough how important it is for parents to understand that our spines are our information superhighway.  All of our actions and thoughts have a relationship with our nervous system, which is protected by the spine.  It's like the water hose that is pinched too tight.  Water cannot flow efficiently -until it is adjusted.  If not taken care of then a leak is sure to occur or worse yet, a huge blowout.  Please, have your children checked for misalignments today and save them from headaches, literally, later on in life!
