Children and Chiropractic


I am often asked while I am checking a child "why do kids need to get adjusted?"  Children, like adults are subjected to everyday stress, physical, chemical and emotional.  These stresses compound in the body and causes spinal mis alignments called Vertebral Subluxations (VS).  It does not matter how old you are or what kind of shape you are in, everyone with a spine is subjected to VS.  
So where does back pain fall into this?  Well, it really doesn't.  You see whether you have back pain or not, you still need to have your spine checked weekly for VS.  VS may or may not cause back pain, however they always cause interference between brain and body therefore decreasing the bodies vitality! 
So lets give children the chance to reach their fullest potential by having them checked once a week for VS.
