Kids Need Chiropractic Too ...

     "As the twig is bent, so grows the tree" .......... is a chiropractic adage that is seen all to frequently in practice.  Many of the problems we see in adults are the result of uncorrected spinal trauma from childhood.

Dawson and Wyatt love to get their adjustments.Consider all the falls, accidents, sports injuries and mishaps that children experience growing up.  That’s after learning to crawl, walk, run and ride a skate board!  Children are often subjected to "barbaric rituals"; wearing 'double' diapers that do not allow proper hip movement and development, 'jolly jumpers' that stress spinal discs and hip joints, inlaws who insist on throwing your child into the air, thereby creating a 'whiplash' microtrauma to a delicate spine, poorly designed school desks, poor mattresses and sleeping postures, to name a few.  Based on this cumulative trauma, wise parents who want the best for their children have them checked regularly for subluxations.

Eric, Emily & Will: Chiropractic care has kept their colds to a minimum and given the boys relief from leg aches (growing pains).Fact #1   Chiropractic care can help children - Researchers in the US, Germany, Denmark, Japan & Australia have shown the effectiveness of chiropractic care with a variety of common childhood illnesses.  Click here for fascinating research on the role of chiropractic and childood headaches.

Fact #2    Chiropractic is safe - Today's doctor of chiropractic receives a 4 year, post graduate degree at a government accredited chiropractic college, following 2-4 years of prechiropractic studies.  This training & conservative approach makes chiropractic one of the safest forms of health care.  Health problems outside the scope of chiropractic are referred to the proper medical specialist. 

Fact #3    Many families use chiropractic as part of a healthy lifestyle - Along with regular dental and eye examinations, more & more of today's parents are adding chiropractic spinal checkups for the entire family.  The wellness and prevention aspects of chiropractic care are attracting informed, cost conscious health care consumers.

A NATURAL APPROACH ~

   The unpredictable dangers of prescription drugs continue to make headline news.  Wary of the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, tubes in young ears and other controversial treatments, concerned parents are including a chiropractic doctor on their health care team.  When problems are detected and corrected before a child’s spine matures (late teens), the more chronic spinal problems can be often avoided.

Dr. David Asks some important questions of interest to Sarnia-Point Edward residents - Chiropractor Sarnia-Point Edward Dr. David Asks...

Can subluxations clear up on their own?
Sometimes. Today's hectic lifestyles can be a constant source of subluxations. Fortunately, our bodies have the ability to self-correct many of these minor problems as we bend and stretch, or when we sleep at night. When subluxations don't resolve, you need to see our Sarnia-Point Edward office for chiropractic care!
Is a muscle spasm a cause or an effect?
With the knee-jerk use of muscle relaxers, you'd think it was a cause. But it's an effect. Chiropractors know that bones don't move unless muscles move them. And muscles don't contract unless commanded by the nervous system. That's why your nervous system is the focus of our Sarnia-Point Edward chiropractic practice.
