Chiropractic and Children
Babies may suffer structural problems following a difficult birth. Children often suffer from many bumps and falls. In addition:

• Lack of exercise
• Carrying school bags or rucksacks on one side/shoulder
• Poor posture sitting in front of the TV

can all lead to misalignment of the spine. A spinal check could one of the most important of your child's life because in addition to the stress of childbirth, the constant jumping, running and bumping in normal childhood could cause vertebral misalignments. This could lead to serious consequences if uncorrected. The misalignments may actually be the cause of other symptoms that are evident in childhood:

• Sleep disturbance
• Tantrums
• Feeding difficulty
• Digestive problems
• Headaches
• Poor concentration
• Growing pains
• Poor coordination

Chiropractic can correct these misalignments and help restore normal function to the baby/child/teenager. With a healthy spinal column, a child's body can deal better with the numerous problems that make up a young persons life.

Chiropractic and Children

Pregnancy can be a time of joy and excitement but for some the experience is tainted by pain and discomfort and in some cases illness. This is often as a result of the many structural and hormonal changes pregnant women experience that affect the spine, nerves, joints, ligaments and stability.

Many of the aches and pains associated with the changes the body undergoes during pregnancy can be helped by chiropractic treatment. One of the most noticeable aspects which often cause back pain is the change in posture as the body adapts its stance to accommodate the growing baby.

Realigning the spine and pelvis (the areas most notably affected by this changing posture) can help to reduce the strain on the joints, shoulders, lower back and legs. Another change that occurs naturally in pregnancy is the softening of the ligaments which means that the joints can undergo additional stress. Regular chiropractic treatment can keep these symptoms to a minimum and the pelvic girdle can be maintained in the optimum position for birth.

Effective treatment in later life

Reduced mobility, stiffness, depression and general ill health are just some of the problems that may be experienced as the body gets older.

The range of conditions that can be helped with chiropractic includes back, neck and joint pain as well as headaches and migraines. Chiropractic can also help relieve pain as a result of the following:

• Poor circulation
• After effects of operations
• Accidents
• Falls
• Dental pain
• General ill health
• Poor mobility

Chiropractic cannot reverse the effects of degenerative diseases but by keeping the body aligned it can help to reduce subsequent damage.
