It's summer and the kids are supposed to be blowing off a little steam. Maybe that means playing one of many team sports or other physical activity or honing "First Person Shooter" skills with hours of on line or video time. Either way can be a blast and a pain in the neck!
Has your child ever said "...My back hurts."?
Ever wonder as an adult about that time you crashed on your bike, got slammed by a pillow, had the chair pulled out or other million things kids do? You know the time. Ever wonder if that's maybe the cause of your neck or back pain today?
Young people should be evaluated for genetic or injury related changes in the spine. Here's why...
The spine reacts with gravity to give the central nervous system and brain the very thing they absolutely must have to survive... Stimulation. Gravity constantly pulls on the spine and specialized cells and organs in the muscles and joints constantly make electricity to power the system. Changes in gravity or changes in the spine could cause changes in the power supply to the central nervous system causing who knows whatever symptom, pain or disease ?
Kids need chiropractic! Their very future depends in large part on how well their spine works in gravity! Understand, chiropractic care for young people looks different than you might think. At Fox Chiropractic, there is not a lot of "neck cracking" for kids. If it it necessary and the nervous system can tolerate it, we'll likely use an instrument to help be more specific and easier on the patient.
Maybe your neck and back injury really is a new thing or... Maybe it was weakened as a kid and finally gave out on you. You can help prevent your child from having the same experience by a simple spinal check up at Fox Chiropractic. (503) 431.2388
