Children's Spinal Care Is Of Vital Importance
Sometimes television really
bothers me. Like shows that
investigate consumer issues
without bothering to present an
opposite viewpoint Or ones that
take statements out of context
I'm talking about the recent
20/20 program carrying the
underlying message that
chiropractic care for children is at
best ridiculous. It also led viewers
to believe that this is a new
marketing scheme devised by
chiropractors who are running out
of adult patients and are now
targeting children.
Wrong on both counts.
Chiropractors have always
worked with children. And they've
also always recognized how
important spinal care is to little
ones. For example, nearly 100
years ago, chiropractors understood
what the medical profession finally
labeled "whiplash shake syndrome."
this condition occurs when the baby
is severely shaken (either in play or
abuse) can cause eye or brain
damage, blindness, paralysis or
convulsions. Now that it has an
official name, the medical
establishment says it's real, but
chiropractors have been saying the
whole time that children have
delicate spines.
That's another important
message that was left out of the
program: The spine is the lifeline
to the body. Running throughout

is the spinal cord, a cable-like
structure containing billions of
nerve fibers that send messages and
energy from the brain to every part
of the body. Sort of like a network
of computers originating from a
powerful mainframe. If any of the
wires are damaged, the messages
can't get through.
So it is with the spinal cord. If
there is blockage of any of the
nerves along the spinal cord--any
nerve damage at all-then a state of
"dis-ease" will develop. This state
of disharmony in the body will
cause a generalized weakening of
your child's body, lowered
resistance to disease, and consequent
body malfunction and sickness.
But children are so resilient, you
might say. What kind of back
trouble could they have? It is
precisely this ability to bounce
back so quickly from a fall or
injury that makes it easy to
overlook spinal care in children.
The truth is, they are more likely
than other populations to have
spinal problems.

Childhood is a very physical
time. Jumping, running and falling
are all part of a normal childhood,
yet these activities can cause spinal
misalignment and nerve damage
with serious consequence.
In addition to the "whiplash
shake" syndrome I mentioned
earlier, there's also the damage that
can occur to an infant during and
immediately after birth. Using
forceps or dangling the baby by the
feet may damage a newborn's spine.
Such misalignments of the
spinal vertebrae may then show up
in common pediatric problems such
as headaches, bedwetting,
constipation, asthma, lack of
appetite or inability to sleep
through the night.
Many times the parents may not
even tell me about these conditions
at first. They've brought in their
child because of a fall or sports
injury. Then after a few
adjustments they remark, "You
know it's funny. His appetite is so
much better." Or, "I can't believe
her asthma has improved so much."
I could list testimony after
testimony of the benefits of
chiropractic on children. For
example, I have a two-year old
patient who had not ever slept
through the night Now she is.
But it's not just my patients.
There were also two studies in the
mid-70's that confirmed what
chiropractors have known for year?-

-that spinal adjustment can help
children with emotional,
behavioral, and neurological
problems. Problems like asthma,
anxiety, low mental stamina,
inability to concentrate and
hyperactivity.
Unfortunately, the program
didn't mention this evidence. I
believe that is a disservice to
parents who are concerned about
their child's health. And it is
certainly a disservice to a child who
is struggling with ailments we've
come to think of as an inevitable
part of childhood.
I'm also distrubed that when the
media cover chiropractic the last
word always lies with someone
outside the profession. The
ultimate bottom line—and the one
ignored-is: Are children reaping
the results?
Parents, you would not think of
neglecting your children's teeth,
eyes or ears. Don't neglect their
spine either. They need a checkup
immediately after birth and then
once a year thereafter. It may be
among the most important
checkups your child will ever have.
