Children develop subluxations just as adults do.  However, children cannot always describe their pain so behaviors and symptoms are the key to discerning their needs.

Check Your Own Child's Needs:
> Stiffness/Restricted Movements
> Poor Posture
> Head Tilted
> Frequent Headaches
> One Shoulder Higher/Lower
> One Leg Longer/Shorted

Common Childhood Symptoms: 
> Ear Infections / Fevers 
> Croup 
> Allergies / Asthma 
> Colds / Sore Throats 
> Re-occurring Illnesses 
> Diarrhea / Stomach Aches 
> Bed-Wetting 
> Headaches 
> Muscle Aches / Pains 
> ADHD / ADD 
> Scoliosis 
> Bell's Palsy 

 As children grow and become more and more active subluxations appear in degrees as varying as ADHD, asthma, recurring illnesses and infections, to more common aches and pains. If your child has fallen off of a swing, is active in sports or recreations, is over-weight, or lacks energy, chiropractic treatments can help.
    
 Nutrition also plays a key factor in the health of your child.  Diets high in sugar, high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils as well as refined and/or processed wheat products are detrimental to all bodily functions, especially during the developmental stages.  
  
 Take care to monitor the diet of your children and take the time to read labels.   Whole, fresh and raw foods are always the best choices.
  
 Supplementation with whole food supplements and vitamins can help off-set some of the poor diets American children are inclined to.  Our office carries a full line of Standard Process Supplements and Herbs; the foremost known company of whole food supplements in our nation.

 
   The birth process may be one of the most traumatic events of our lives.  Even "natural" birthing methods can stress a still developing spine.  The resulting irritation to the nervous system can be the cause of many newborn complaints.  Colic, unexplained crying, poor appetite, breathing problems, ear infections and allergic reactions can often be traced to nervous system dysfunction caused by a malfunctioning spine.
