subject: Chiropractor Santa Carlita On Kids [print this page] If you've ever wondered if you should take your children to a chiropractor for minor aches and pains or even just to make sure that their spinal growth and development is on track, the following quote should be your answer and should also be a great help to decide which Chiropractor in Santa Clarita you should take your children to.
"Nobody benefits from chiropractic more than kids, and we need the parents to know this, not just the chiropractors. Its great to see an organization step up and gather the research to show chiropractic's safety and its benefits for kids. All wellness chiropractors should be a part of this."
-- Dr. Dale Andelkovic Redlands CA
It is not easy for an untrained eye to detect problems a child may have due to spinal development just like any parent won't know if their kid has cavities without taking them to the dentist. The following signs may however alert the parent that a visit to the chiropractor may be necessary:
1. When the child consistently tilts the head to one side
2. Disturbed sleeping patterns when the child would only sleep for an hour or two at a time
3. Restricted head or neck movement to one particular side
Everyday aches and pains that are persistent like headache, earache, colic and sore throat may also be an indication of a spinal problem.
Chiropractors are trained to evaluate pediatric spinal problems and will do a thorough check to determine if there really is a spinal problem before starting any treatment. For some reason spinal joints may have become "locked" which will interfere with the normal function of the nervous system.
The chiropractor can easily restore the balance with a "light" (using about 2 pounds of pressure) spinal adjustment. In general this treatment is not painful although infants may be upset by the sudden movement.
I would like to add another quote: "As we like to say: The earlier detected the easier corrected. Children usually respond well because of their age and flexibility. If scoliosis has been detected by the nurses at your child's school, the sooner the child receives treatment, the less problematic the scoliosis will be.
It is therefore clear to see that it can only be beneficial for your child to visit the chiropractor. Do some research or talk to friends and relatives to maybe get a referral to a good Chiropractor in Santa Carlita.
