Why should you bring your child in to see us?
The fact is, a child’s nervous system begins to develop during pregnancy. The nervous system is what controls the body’s systems including the immune, digestive, respiratory function, movements, and so much more. During pregnancy and the delivery process, there is an incredible amount of pressure put on the body as a whole. In fact, a recent study of 1,250 infants demonstrated that 95 percent suffered cervical strain from the birthing process, with 80 percent displaying strain patterns in the cranial mechanisms. When these components of the spine are injured or misplaced, known as a subluxation, they reduce nerve flow which affects overall function. This can lead to many of the conditions described above.
