CHILDREN AND CHIROPRACTIC
While most people are aware of the benefits of chiropractic care
for adults, they are unaware of the tremendous benefits chiropractic
care can provide children. After all, everyone benefits
from a nervous system functioning at a more optimal level.
Dr.
Clayton has received advanced training in pediatric chiropractic
and is a fellow of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. Because
of this training and his experience, Dr. Clayton can help children
experience the benefits of chiropractic care using analysis and
techniques that are safe, gentle, specific for pediatric patients
and different from those used for adults.
Some
of the following are just a few of the many conditions Dr. Clayton
has helped children manage through chiropractic care:
- Flat head syndrome
- Torticollis
- Inutero complications to either the child or mother during
pregnancy
- Colic
- Ear infections
- Recurrent or frequent illness
- Scoliosis
- Headaches and migraines
- Poor posture
Some
challenges at birth that can lead to subluxation:
- Pulling and twisting of baby at delivery
- Caesarean section
- Forceps
- Suction extraction
- Even “natural” birthing methods can cause spinal
subluxations
Whether it is correcting problems that develop at birth or those
that develop from the bumps, falls and scrapes that a child has
as he/she grows, the earlier potential subluxations are corrected—the
better. The human body has a tremendous capacity to adapt
and subluxations that are left uncorrected in a child could develop
into far more severe problems as an adult.
