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.

How long does it take to form a bone spur?

And chiropractic care can help.
