How A Geneva Chiropractor Assists Teenagers And Children

By Penelope Bunce


It is a little known fact that the majority of mid and lower back and neck pain start early in life. Subluxation (subtle misalignment of bones) can even occur during the birthing process. Difficult deliveries, forceps, and vacuum extraction can all put stress on the developing spine, which could cause discomfort or pain for the infant. Since infant spines are still flexible, it is thought that they do not usually suffer from lower back or neck pain, but subluxations can also result in sinusitis, ear infections, colic, learning disorders, breastfeeding problems, or even pinched nerves.

Most chiropractors ask parents to bring their infants to them when they are about two weeks old. If you visit a Geneva chiropractor, he or she will be able to identify a problem like a pinched nerve. If this problem is not detected early, it may lead to neck or back pain, scoliosis and frequent sore throats.

Children can benefit in many ways from seeing a chiropractor. Students show that chiropractic adjustment is more effective for alleviating ear infection than antibiotics or tubes. It also shows positive results for children suffering from tonsillitis, asthma, sleep problems, digestive issues and colic.

It is normal for children to bump on things or fall while they are learning to walk. Many bumps and falls do not damage the spine, but a bad fall can leave lasting effects. If delicate nerve tissue is damaged, it can initiate abnormal bone spurs and bone growth due to the swelling and inflammation of soft tissues like spinal discs and others.

When your child attains the age of five to ten years, he or she will start playing organized sports. The child may suffer repeated falls and tumbles. It is likely for his or her spine to get injured. From the age of ten to fifteen, the spine of your child can be affected by improper lifting and carrying of backpacks, poor posture, repetitive sports movements and a sedentary lifestyle. Children in this age group are likely to be injured by falling off skateboards or roller blades, being hit by a ball on the head or being tackled when playing. Undergoing proper spine adjustments at this stage can help prevent future problems.

Teenagers experience growth spurts, and quick changes in their bone length puts tension on muscles, and can cause pain where the muscles are attached to the bones. Bone growth rate can vary from side to side, so that your teen might lean a bit to one side, and that causes muscles on that side to get tighter. Your teen may start to walk off balance, sit awkwardly, and lift heavy items improperly. Spinal alignment can help the body to adjust

Chiropractors together with their staff members combine regular alignments with advice on posture, proper nutrition and exercise. With proper chiropractic care, your child can be structurally and functionally fit without using drugs. If the chiropractor identifies that a minor is suffering from a more complicated health issue that he or she cannot handle, he or she will refer the child to other medical practitioners.
