A main concern for you as a parent is how
to ensure each of your children have the opportunity to become their healthy best.
You should be aware of the following:
·
Many studies now show that achieving our best as adults, on physical, mental,
social, and occupational levels is in large shaped by the windows opportunity opened to us during childhood.
·
What constitutes a healthy response to the challenges that go with a normal
childhood, have finally been appropriately redefined. Up until recently a child was seen to be healthy when he or she had
no symptoms. However, a number of studies now suggest that is not always the case and that health is better defined as the
ability of a child’s body to interpret, and then appropriately respond, to environmental and lifestyle stresses.
There is one system in your child’s
body that is in charge of accurately interpreting the messages coming from the environment, and deciding which messages to
send so that the body appropriately adapts. That system is the nervous system. It is the master control system
of growth, repair and the function of every tissue and organ in the body.
Your chiropractor has undergone extensive
training in order to become highly proficient at detecting and correcting one of the most common and often undetected causes
of interference to a child’s nervous system, “spinal subluxation”.
What is a subluxation?
If your child’s body is stressed,
either by physical, chemical, or emotional stresses, there may occur abnormal spinal bone position and movement. This in turn
causes a disturbance in nervous system function. This loss of normal spinal function and accompanying neurological disturbance,
are together, called spinal subluxation. Often this results in the impairment of our child’s nervous system to accurately
receive, process and respond appropriately to changes taking place within the body and their environment.
