Do your children get colds often? Do they get sore throats or ear aches? As a baby did they have colic or cry often for no apparent reason? Does your child complain of stiffness in the neck, complain of back pain or get headaches? All of these could be signs that your child has a spinal misalignment. You see, babies are generally born very healthy. In utero, they live in a perfect environment where they are protected and everything they need to survive is provided. Normally children are pain free, but when they do have an ache it is quickly forgotten.

Spinal traumas often occur in childhood and can lead to degeneration. The occupational health and safety administration, O.S.H.A., has documented that the average child has had over 1,500 spinal traumas due to falls and accidents by the age of 13. If not treated, these misalignments slowly erode the structure and function of the spine and eventually will lead to more serious issues.

You may ask how could my child have gotten a spinal misalignment? The first traumatizing event for a child often is the birthing process. This is especially true when there was difficulty. Tossing your child in the air or even yanking them by their arms can cause severe whiplash. Injuries and everyday bumps from falling off a bicycle or tripping over their shoelace can also cause spinal misalignments in children. Generally, children quickly become accustomed to these problems and go on with their daily activities. Take a look at your child’s posture. Is one of the shoulders higher than the other? Is one shoulder blade protruding more than the other? Looking at your child from behind, do their hips look uneven? Does one foot point out or in? Do their clothes fit unevenly?
