Man's trajectory from the beginning has been to come, become, adapt, and grow. Our evolution from even a small infant can be measured by lying to sitting, sitting to crawling, and finally crawling to standing. With this said our species from an outside observer would now be entered as the era of de-evolution of man....

Nothing can be more contagious than to receive a huge smile from a child. The hope of their bright future emanates in their laughter, and we can think of nothing more beautiful or valuable. As we love them all from the very start, we want to ensure they are well loved, well cared for, well educated, and well adjusted.
Wait. Well adjusted?
Connecting The Truth
The truth is, most people give us a funny look when we share how important it is that children are also well adjusted. In actuality, there is not another larger group than our children that need a proper nerve supply.
Our children’s brains and bodies are developing at an incredible rate on a daily basis. Experts estimate that the average child falls close to 2000 times by the time they are three years old. The simple fact is that all it takes is one tiny shift in the spine that does not return to its normal position to block that precious nerve supply. This blockage can have detrimental effects on a child’s health, development, and wellbeing.
When Are Children Able To Receive Care?
Did you know some of the first misalignments can result in the birth process itself? Birth can cause significant trauma for a newborn, and many parents opt to have their children checked for spinal problems proactively.
Having regular spinal checkups throughout your children’s developmental and active sports years are as important. These important checkups can be helpful for improving overall well-being and avoiding some health complaints as an adult. If or when needed safe, effective, and drug-free chiropractic adjustments can be performed and are modified to suit the smaller, still developing bodies of children.
I Am Pregnant. May I Have Chiropractic Care?
Yes! Chiropractors train specifically on the care of a pregnant mother from preconception to birth.
Many pregnant women have found that chiropractic adjustments provide relief from the increased low-back pain brought on by pregnancy. Chiropractic manipulation is safe throughout your pregnancy for you and your unborn child and can be especially attractive to those who are trying to avoid medications in treating their back pain. Doctors of chiropractic can also offer nutrition, ergonomic, and exercise advice to help you enjoy a healthy pregnancy.
Chiropractic care can also help after childbirth. In the eight weeks following labor and delivery, the ligaments that loosened during pregnancy begin to tighten up again. Ideally, joint problems brought on during pregnancy from improper lifting or reaching should be treated before the ligaments return to their pre-pregnancy state to prevent muscle tension, headaches, rib discomfort, and shoulder problems.
Am I Too Old For Chiropractic Care?
As the body ages, the need for treatment that promotes better spinal function increases. Chiropractic treatment and other drug-free rehabilitation options are ideal for older people as it helps them to improve mobility, vitality, endurance, and appetite. Many patients, also report a decrease in the severity of arthritis symptoms and other ailments associated with aging.

Fall is here! The first days of school have come and gone. Now the once excited kids bend over or strain shoulders to hold the overly heavy backpacks that contain their school books and folders. Unfortunately these over filled backpacks are heading our future generations into early back pain, neck pain, headaches and disease processes. According to figures from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, more than 7,000 children attend the ER each year due to backpack-related injuries. Unfortunately, this is a trend that will continue as more schools remove lockers from their premises, and thus children are forced to carry around with them extra books and bags for the entire day.
To help avoid developing this trend our team would like to help your children start strong and stay strong all year long. So please review to help make this year a healthy one!
Back Pack Safety Checklist
Let’s begin by checking the backpack safely list provided by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) below:
- Choose a backpack with wide, padded shoulder straps and a padded back. Padded shoulder straps are very important. Not only will they be more comfortable than non-padded straps, but they will also help prevent the straps from digging into your child’s shoulders.
- The shoulder straps should be adjustable, so the backpack can be fitted to your child’s body. Shoulder straps that are too loose can cause the backpack to dangle uncomfortably and cause spinal misalignments, back and neck pain.
- Tell your child to use both shoulder straps, not just one. A backpack slung over one shoulder disproportionately shifts all of the weight to one side, and can cause not only neck and muscle spasms, but also low back pain.
- Pack light. Organize the backpack to use all of its compartments. A backpack with individualized compartments will help you position the contents most effectively and ensure that your child’s sandwich isn’t flattened by a heavy textbook.
- Pack heavier items closest to the center of the back. Make sure your child’s backpack weighs no more than 10 to 20 percent of your child’s body weight.
- Come and get your Back To School Back Pack Check Up! Bring your child’s back pack into our office so we may help you properly fit the backpack and ensure that your children’s bodies are in balance physically and nutritionally to tackle all of the new excitement this school year!
Most importantly lead by example and teach them the why and how of good posture. Make it fun and persevere!
