As the child begins to participate in regular childhood activities like skating or riding a bike, small yet significant spinal misalignments may occur. If neglected, the injuries during this period of rapid growth may lead to more serious problems later in life. Subtle trauma throughout childhood will affect the future development of the spine leading to impaired nervous system function. Any interference to the vital nerve system will adversely affect the body’s ability to function at its best.
There are several childhood conditions that we have had excellent results with here at Emerald Coast Chiropractic. Children frequently have conditions that are not normally found in adults. Children, as a whole, are healing machines that get extraordinary results with chiropractic care. While the theory is similar, the way a chiropractor adjusts a child may be significantly different from adults.
