Your Kids Can Be Pain Free With A Geneva Chiropractor

By Julio Riess


Parents may not know whether to take their children to a chiropractor, especially if they do not appear to have symptoms that would indicate a need for it. Children may suffer spinal misalignments as infants, which is not their fault. A Geneva chiropractor recognizes the causes and can help.

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.

The irregularity, called a subluxation, may place pressure on nerves, causing problems such as asthma, ear infections, and breastfeeding difficulties. Subluxations have also been linked to learning disorders and even sudden infant death syndrome. These spinal abnormalities do not result in back and neck pain because infant spines have the consistency of cartilage, making them quite flexible. Consequently, these problems typically go undetected.

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.

If the condition does not get fixed, then it can grow worse over time as the child grows up. It can result in such conditions as scoliosis and back pain, and even sore throats. But with a few visits to the chiropractor, the pain can be alleviated, allowing your child to resume their normal activities without any kind of pain.

Upon their first visit, patients of all ages undergo a thorough exam, using advanced Thermoscan and surface EMG (electromyography) technology to pinpoint musculoskeletal imbalances. These techniques are painless and can be performed quickly. They are also used to monitor the effects of therapy and measure progress over time. A Geneva chiropractor performs spinal adjustments to mitigate oft-unrecognized underlying causes of many pediatric health problems.
