Kids and Chiropractic?

Did you know that statistics show that by the time a child is 2 years old, they have already fallen a minimum of 1500 times just learning how to walk?  Did you know that the first subluxation (misalignment in the spine) in a child's life occurs during the birthing process?  I didn't know any of these statistics till I went to chiropractic school.  The take away…..every child should get screened by a chiropractor to detect subluxations.  A thorough consultation and palpation exam is enough to locate subluxations on a child.  X-rays are usually not indicated unless injury/trauma has occurred.  If subluxation(s) are detected, a chiropractic adjustment can be provided.  Adjustments are extremely safe and effective for the correction of subluxations.  It is essential to correct subluxations early in the person's life to help minimize or avoid destructive changes that it can create to the spine and nervous system.  Call Karen or Natalie at 636-916-0660 to schedule an appointment for your child.
