The Assistance That Children And Teens Can Get From A Geneva Chiropractor

By Penelope Bunce


Many people do not know that lower and mid back ache begins at an early stage of life. Subtle misalignment of bones abbreviated as Subluxation can occur during the process of giving birth. Forceps, vacuum and difficult deliveries can put stress on the developing spine of a baby. This could result to pain or discomfort for the infant. Since the spine of an infant is still flexible, it is believed that it is hard for them to suffer from neck or lower back pain. However, subluxations can cause sinusitis, colic, ear infections, breastfeeding problems, pinched nerves and learning disorders.

Parents should take their child to a chiropractor within the first two weeks of life. A Geneva chiropractor will identify issues like a pinched nerve. If such an issue is not treated, it can cause neck and back pain, sore throat and scoliosis in teens and children.

Taking your child to see a chiropractor comes with a number of benefits. According to studies, chiropractic adjustments can alleviate ear infections better than antibiotics or tubes. Chiropractic adjustment is also good for children with tonsillitis, asthma, sleep problems, colic and digestive issues.

Falls and bumps are common for toddlers who are learning to walk, but most of them do not cause damage to the spine. Nevertheless, a bad bump or fall may cause lasting effects. If delicate nerve tissues suffer damage, they can result to bone spurs and abnormal bone growth once the spinal discs and other soft tissues become swollen and inflamed.

Children between the ages of five and ten years old begin playing organized sports and can sustain repeated falls and tumbles. They can also injure their spine when playing. Starting from the ages of ten to fifteen, the spine of children can be affected by various factors including poor posture, loading and carrying backpacks improperly, repetitive movements when engaging in sports and an inactive lifestyle. Children in this age group are more likely to get injured by falling off skateboards or roller blades, getting tacked as they play and getting hit by a ball on the head. If the spine of a child is well aligned at this stage of life, it will help prevent problems in the future.

Teenagers experience growth spurts, and quick changes in their bone length puts tension on muscles, and can cause pain where the muscles are attached to the bones. Bone growth rate can vary from side to side, so that your teen might lean a bit to one side, and that causes muscles on that side to get tighter. Your teen may start to walk off balance, sit awkwardly, and lift heavy items improperly. Spinal alignment can help the body to adjust

Chiropractors together with their staff members combine regular alignments with advice on posture, proper nutrition and exercise. With proper chiropractic care, your child can be structurally and functionally fit without using drugs. If the chiropractor identifies that a minor is suffering from a more complicated health issue that he or she cannot handle, he or she will refer the child to other medical practitioners.
