Infant Chiropractic Care - Starting Out Right!

A newborn's spine may be subject to abnormal stress as a result of a difficult birth, a breech presentation, caesarean birth, obstetrical error, or abnormal in-utero position during the last trimester. Because many doctors recognize these symptoms of spinal stress in newborn babies, infant chiropractic care may be recommended. Such spinal stress can lead to many health problems, as demonstrated in a paper from the European medical journal, "Manuelle Medizin", describing five-day-old infants with vertebral subluxations:

"The clinical picture ranges from central motor impairment and development [sleeplessness, uncoordination, seizures] through...impairments of vegetative regulatory systems [vomiting, digestive problems, elimination problems], to lowered resistance to infections, especially to ear-nose-and-throat infections."

For over a hundred years, the doctors of chiropractic have recorded often dramatic responses from some infants after a chiropractic spinal adjustment with conditions as varied as Erb's Palsy (in which an arm is limp or undeveloped), unbalanced facial and skull symmetry, foot inversion, colic, torticollis (twisted neck), "nervousness," and ear, nose and throat infections.

More and more parents are beginning to understand the importance of infant chiropractic care. With a healthy spinal column, a child's body can better deal with sore throats, ear infections, stomach aches, fevers, measles, mumps and the hundred-and-one other problems that often make up a young life. Without infant chiropractic care and continuing on, some children will live in continued sickness, condemned to a life of taking medicines and perhaps even surgery.

Chiropractic Treatment: Don’t Wait Until It Hurts!

Some people think that pain is the only reason to seek chiropractic treatment. That attitude is dangerous because vertebral subluxations are often painless—they may remain within you, interfering with your life and health wholeness for months or years before symptoms finally appear. By then, damage has more than likely occurred in your joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons and joints.

Pain or obvious symptoms can often be the last state of disease. For example: would you go to a dentist who would wait until you were in pain before checking for cavities? To an internist who told waited until you had a stroke before addressing high blood pressure? To an oncologist who said the only time to deal with cancer was when the tumors started making you feel sick? Of course not!

In the same way, the best time to correct vertebral subluxations is BEFORE pain or other symptoms develop. Now you know why chiropractors call subluxations "the silent killer." You may have them a long time without any spinal, nerve or muscular pains or other symptoms. So consider it a blessing in disguise while in the middle of a chiropractic treatment you find yourself saying, "Wow, what did you touch? I didn't know I had a problem there--I wasn't feeling any pain."

Why wait until you have a health problem to get chiropractic treatment. Why not practice preventative health maintenance and have your spinal column checked for vertebral subluxations before you get sick?

The Nervous System: The nervous system is the center of your thoughts, memory, learning, and consciousness. All of your internal organs receive a nerve supply from your spine. Nerves control:

• Muscle tension
• Blood vessel openings
• Glandular function
• Spatial orientation (proprioception)
• Pain
• Touch
• Vision
• Hearing
• Taste
• Body temperature
• And other senses.

The Spinal Column: The spinal column has four functions--to house and protect your spinal cord; to support your hips and shoulders; to serve as an attachment to your muscles; and to support your head and ribs. Your spine consists of 24 vertebrae plus your sacrum and coccyx:

• First 7 cervical (neck) vertebrae:
  
  • C1: called the "atlas," holds the globe of the skull.
  • C2, the "axis," permits head turning and tilting
  • C3 - C7 continue down through the neck
• The 12 thoracic (mid-back) vertebrae:
  
  • T1 - T12 all connect to the ribs in the back, and all but two (T11 and T12, which "float"), join the sternum (breastbone) in front.
• The 5 lumbar (lower back) vertebrae:
  
  • These vertebrae are the biggest, thickest and most massive vertebrae. They support the weight of your entire spine, which is why so many spinal problems are in the lower back (lumbar) area. This is why the topic of low back pain cures is so prevalent.
• The sacrum is made up of five fused vertebrae. The sacrum and the hips on either side make up your pelvis.
• The coccyx is made up of four fused vertebrae, which is what's left of your tailbone.
