Healthy Children, Happy Parents!
As your child grows, he or she may suffer a multitude of falls, spills, bumps and twists during their normal lives. Just the basics from learning to walk, to riding a bike, to specialized sports activities can cause abnormal stress on the spine. While these stresses may not cause symptoms that a parent may notice or a child may feel, a hidden problem could be affecting your child's health. When interferences to the spinal column are left untreated a growing child will adapt and change to compensate for the problem. This could cause an underlying problem and create trouble for your child's future health. That means your child's immune system becomes fatigued by the stress of a misalignment in the spine or "subluxates". When the immune system is weakened or compromised, disease and infection are given an opportunity to flourish. That is why parents with children with chronic colds, ear infections, tummy aches, asthma, headaches bring in their children to our office. A strong healthy immune system gives your child high resistance to infection, and they stay well.
Only a Doctor of Chiropractic has the expertise to treat spinal subluxations. Dr. Wikoff has gone through extensive courses on pediatric health and has a degree in Pediatrics. All three ofhis children, get regular adjustments and did since birth. They are living healthy lives and actually get awards for perfect attendance!
Our office loves children! We even have a "family room" with a child's adjustment table, a reception area that is kid friendly with books & toys and we welcome your little ones. If you would like more information or have questions we have articles on children under Chiropractic, research information and testimonials from parents that love having their children under Chiropractic care.
