Not many people know that most low and mid back and neck pain begins in early childhood. Minor misalignment of bones, which are referred to as subluxations may even occur when a baby is being born. Some of the factors that can place stress on the developing spine of a baby include vacuum extraction, forceps and difficult deliveries. They may cause pain and discomfort for the baby. The spines of infants are still flexible and for this reason, they may not suffer from lower neck or back pain. However, subluxations can lead to ear infections, sinusitis, learning disorders, colic, pinched nerves and problems with breastfeeding.
A chiropractor recommends that babies be seen within the first 2 weeks of life. A Geneva chiropractor can identify such problems as a pinched nerve. If undetected, it can result in back and neck pain, frequent sore throats, or even scoliosis for children and teenagers.
Taking your child to see a chiropractor comes with a number of benefits. According to studies, chiropractic adjustments can alleviate ear infections better than antibiotics or tubes. Chiropractic adjustment is also good for children with tonsillitis, asthma, sleep problems, colic and digestive issues.
Bumps and falls are common for children learning to walk, and most of these falls will not damage their spine. However, sometimes a particularly bad fall or bump will leave lasting effects. Damage to delicate nerve tissues can initiate abnormal bone growth and bone spurs when spinal discs and other soft tissues become inflamed and swollen.
Children between the ages of five and ten years old begin playing organized sports and can sustain repeated falls and tumbles. They can also injure their spine when playing. Starting from the ages of ten to fifteen, the spine of children can be affected by various factors including poor posture, loading and carrying backpacks improperly, repetitive movements when engaging in sports and an inactive lifestyle. Children in this age group are more likely to get injured by falling off skateboards or roller blades, getting tacked as they play and getting hit by a ball on the head. If the spine of a child is well aligned at this stage of life, it will help prevent problems in the future.
Teenagers experience rapid changes in their bone length due to growth spurts. This puts tension in their muscles and it can result to pain where the bones are attached to the muscles. The growth rate of bones can vary from side to side. A teenager may tend to lean to one side, which can tighten the muscles on the opposite side. The teen may start walking off balance, sitting awkwardly and lifting heavy things improperly. Spinal adjustments can bring the body back to normal.
A chiropractor and his caring staff will combine regular adjustments with advice on exercise, posture, and proper nutrition. Proper chiropractic care will help your child or teenager to be functionally and structurally sound the natural way, without the use of any drugs. If the chiropractor recognizes that your child has a more complex health issue, he is morally and ethically bound by the ICA Council of Pediatrics to refer your child to other medical practitioners for care.
