The nervous system is the "Master Controller"

When the nervous system in babies and children in Woodbury MN is not communicating effectively, the ineffective communication may result in colic/ irritability, inability to suckle and breastfeed, poor sleep, developmental delays, digestion issues, asthma, behavioral problems, low energy, inability to concentrate, headaches, and so on. Regardless of what the symptom may be, "optimal health" leads back to the body's ability to self-regulate (heal) and function at peak level.

What's the impact of childhood falls?

• By age 7 your child has had hundreds of falls. A child's "bounce-back" resilience may hide subtle damage that leads to POOR POSTURE and neurological function overtime.
• Subtle sign and symptoms that result from falls can go unnoticed or be attributed to other things. If left unchecked, they can lead to entrenched health problems. Insignificant slips and falls add up over time!
• Researchers have found that from birth to two years of age, is a critical period of brain development. Injuries during this time can have long-lasting, permanent effects on the structure and function of the brain.

When do childhood accidents occur?

• Strain during birth. Studies have shown that the birthing process can lead to strains of the upper neck in newborns. One study found that out of 1250 infants examined, 95% had neck strains from the birthing process.
• Poor handling of infants and toddlers as well as overzealous siblings tumbling on them can also create spine and nerve distress on this population.
• Playground falls. 60% to 80% of all medical-attended playground injuries are due to falls on the playground.
• Children may also experience spinal trauma when learning to walk/run, ride a bike, playing sports, and being involved in motor vehicle accidents.

The best time to invest in helping the body heal is right away!

• Our babies and children's health is the most precious thing in the world.
• The Journal of Neuroscience states that "the first year of life may be a period of developmental vulnerability; it is also the period in which therapeutic interventions can have the greatest positive effect."

Chiropractic for babies and children is evidenced to be gentle, safe and effective. To ensure optimal development, babies should be checked by chiropractors very soon after birth to detect areas of spinal trauma.
