Castro Valley Chiropractor and Treatment For Kids

Chiropractic care isn’t only available for adults as kids can also enjoy the many benefits of this treatment. Kids too suffer from vertebral subluxation. In fact, from birth babies can already have their first vertebral subluxation may it be due to a c-section or forceps delivery as the nervous system of the baby can suffer from pressure.  Babies don’t know how to communicate yet and we wonder why they tend to cry a lot and can’t sleep very well. If it is possible, make sure to bring your baby for a check-up with your trusted Castro Valley chiropractor to make sure baby is not suffering because of subluxated vertebra.

When babies grow and start to crawl, walk and play, they’d be more prone to misalignments of the spine as they end up with little accidents here and there. They may fall as they practice walking or they may bump to a wall as they crawl. All these could cause subluxation and parents don’t know about it. Kids sure have no clue too but your chiropractor will surely be able to spot it after a thorough examination.

The problem also doesn’t end there. As your toddler grows up and starts school another cause of spinal subluxation is experienced by our kids. They need to carry large backpacks and bring books to and from school and your Castro Valley chiropractor would tell you that this presents a big problem to our children. As they carry heavy backpacks, they could end up with a bad posture and worse, scoliosis. Also, other health problems may also arise due to the bad posture.

If backpacks pose a threat, girls who carry shoulder bags make it worse as the pressure from the weight of the books and other school supplies are not evenly distributed as the weight is only placed on one shoulder. Just imagine your little girl’s young bones carrying that heavy weight for many days and you’ll know that something could definitely go wrong as the spine would be affected. Do take note that kids’ bones are softer compared to adult bones and it continues to grow. As it grows, it can bend because of the weight that it carries every day. And that is not good as it can pose health problems in his/her adult life in the future. Your Castro Valley chiropractor would suggest treatments and alternatives so your kid will not suffer from vertebral subluxation even when s/he needs to bring those bags to school.

So, what do parents need to do in order to prevent these problems? First of all, they shouldn’t let their kids carry backpacks or shoulder bags as the weight can really pose a problem to the bone structure. Try using a rolling bag or stroller bag so instead of carrying the weight they’d just roll it along wherever they’d go. It’s much easier and your kids would love you for it. Bring them to a trusted Castro Valley chiropractor to correct the spinal subluxation that they may already be having. You can ask your chiropractor for more tips too so your child would be subluxation-free.
