At Oakbridge Chiropractic, we love children!
How many nights have you been up with a sick baby?
How many courses of antibiotics has your child had already?
Are you resigned to hearing your baby cry?
A nervous system that functions properly is crucial for healthy growth and development.
The birth process can be one of the most traumatic events of our lives. Even 'natural' birthing methods may stress a developing spine. The resulting irritation to the nervous system can be the cause of many newborn health complaints, including:
- colic
- unexplained crying
poor appetite
- breathing problems
- ear infections
- allergic reactions
ALL children should be checked for signs of nervous system irritation! If your child needs to be adjusted, it is a safe, gentle, painless procedure. Children usually hold their adjustments longer than adults who have years of accumulated stress.
We evaluate and adjust babies from the time they come home from the hospital! We do not take x-rays of children until after they turn seven ,because their bones have not fully formed. The Blair Technique is individualized for every child's size, weight, and unique spinal anatomy.
Chiropractic checkups are an excellent follow-up to head support, crawling, and a baby's first steps. If untended, the bumps and falls during this period of rapid growth could set the stage for scoliosis, 'growing pains,' and a weakened immune system response. Even if your child does not have symptoms, we can check for nervous system irritation. Symptoms may take years to develop after a subluxation has interfered with proper nervous system function.
You want the best health for your children! Bring them in today to be checked for nervous system irritation and to be adjusted for their optimal health and development.
