How A Geneva IL Chiropractor Helps Kids

By Julio Riess


When people think of chiropractors, they most often think of adults who have perhaps had an injury or been in a car accident, and may have a misalignment that needs tending to. They rarely think of kids going to a back doctor, but the truth is that kids can often hurt their spines and backs and may need this type of care. If so, a Geneva Chiropractor is your best bet.

Believe it or not, a child may be predisposed to a spinal condition during the birthing process. If a woman has a particularly difficult labor, it can put a lot of pressure on the baby's neck, which in turn can cause misalignments and even twists in delicate vertebrae.

These subluxations that can be caused during the birthing process can prove to be very dangerous for an infant. Scarier still, they often do not feel a thing, because the cartilage in their tiny bodies is still so young and flexible. But if they do get subluxations, these can cause such dangerous conditions as breastfeeding issues, learning disorders, asthma, ear infections, and even Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

Most pediatricians do not look for these kinds of issues, because they are not very common. That means that when you take the child in later because of other issues that arose as a result, they may not make the connection between the two. That is why a qualified chiropractic should be visited at least once in the child's first two weeks.

Failure to get the child proper help for a subluxation could mean a lot of pain and heartache later on. For example, a child may get frequent sore throats, or even develop a curved spine, known as scoliosis. This is in addition to constant back pain. This can all go away quite quickly with a few adjustments made by your local chiropractor.

During this examination, the doctor will likely used a machine called an EMG Thermoscan to help check and see if the baby has anything wrong with the muscles or back. It is painless and quick and goes a long way towards your baby's health.
