Why should children get adjusted? This is a question we
often are asked, in our practice. The answer is very simple… birth is often the
most traumatic experience of a person’s life!
Depending on the type of birth upwards of 140 pounds of
pressure are used (vacuum extraction) to pull the baby’s head and neck. This
pulls on the spine directly and stretches the nerves. (Fact: the nervous system
is not fully developed until approximately 9 months) So it is during this
process that the first spinal subluxation may occur. This is a good example of “trauma”
as a cause of subluxation, with the other 2 being toxins and thoughts
(autosuggestions)
At Genuine Chiropractic we specialize in the Webster
technique, used for expectant mothers, and also care for new borns. The pressure
used to adjust a newborn is the same pressure you would use to test a ripe
tomato. It is extremely gentle and can have a profound impact.
When subluxations are left in the spine over time the process
of dysfunction, dis-ease, disease, and eventually cell death will occur. This
is because the nervous system controls EVERYTHING in the body so when there is
interference in the nerve flow because of a spinal subluxation we are unable to
reach our full potential in health and balance.
