We see a number of children at Nardi Family Chiropractic. At any given time of the day, our office can look like Romper Room and we love it. Kids bring so much energy into our lives. So why would kids need Chiropractic? What prompts a parent to bring their child to a Chiropractor?Ultimately the answer is simple, they want their kids to be healthy and Chiropractic provides people of all ages healthier lives compared with to people who don’t use Chiropractic.
Recently we had two infants begin care with us. The first began care due to acid reflux and regurgitation issues. The boy was about 2 months old and his pediatrician had already placed him on 2 different antacid type of drugs. Still the boy was spitting up and cranky. When they brought him in, it was discovered that the boy was subluxated and we adjusted him. After his first adjustment, he began keeping food down and regurgitating half of what he was. A week later, he was clear of the issue. Now, the whole family come in for regular maintenance care, every week and they’re on a family plan.
The second child came to us three days after being born, with issues of colic and not latching to nurse, both issues are very common. Mom had been receiving adjustments throughout her pregnancy from us so she brought the infant in. Immediately after being adjusted, mom went home and the baby latched on to nurse and with that, the colic reduced. She had a couple of relapses for which it was discovered she was subluxated and we kept adjusting her. Now, their whole family is on a family maintenance plan and receive regular weekly checks.
By and far the most common reason parent begin their kids with Chiropractic care is because Children who receive regular adjustments are just healthier than kids who do not. We hear stories all the time from our regulars how healthy their kids are and how amazed their pediatricians are that they don’t see more of each other. More often than not, the pediatricians are amazed that their child was last seen at their last physical and not in between. Then, they look through the file quickly and see, these children have never been in for the flu or a cold, or a “sickness” and comment how thin the child’s file is. I know for certain, that if you talk with any of the parents in our office when you see them, they’ll be happy to share their experience with you.
Other common medical issues that can be linked to subluxation are ear infections, flu, the common cold, asthma, allergies, and ADD/ADHD, each of which we’ll be addressing during 2015.
