Back Pain in Children

How much importance do we give to back pain in children?

Carrying a backpack that is too heavy can cause tension in your child’s spine.

Natural health care includes chiropractic care, which is not just for adults! In fact, the use of natural healing techniques for children is as beneficial for them as it is for their parents. However, the idea that children, even newborns, should visit a chiropractor for adjustments is a long-term thought for some. Why would parents take their children to a chiropractor? How would a child benefit? What would be the need for chiropractic care?

Here are some reasons:

• The trauma suffered at birth. Even so-called natural birthing methods can affect a baby’s spine. A cesarean can be even more so.
• Colic. Without the ability to explain their discomfort, babies cry. And cry! Many babies experience extraordinary relief with chiropractic care.
• Ear infections. Mechanical tension in the upper spine can compromise the inner ear and Eustachian tubes, becoming fertile ground for infection.

Efficient and Effective Care

Children seem to enjoy their adjustments. In addition to requiring a lighter adjustment than what you receive, most children respond quickly. They rarely have the buildup of scar tissue that we often see in adults with long-standing issues.

Keep in mind that adults are responsible for the decisions we make about our children’s health. If your child tells you their back hurts, do not assume it is just a normal part of growing up; rather, there is something to check and correct in the spine and therefore in the health of our children.

Do you know a child who could benefit from safe and natural chiropractic care? Addressing these issues early can prevent problems later on.
