Kiropraktik for Kids

Pediatric Chiropractor As Biomechanical Specialist

Having your childs’ biomechanics assessed is important in helping them avoid spinal pain in the adult years. Research has shown that debilitating pain in adulthood has its’ roots in childhood/adolescence. This is true for low back pain, neck pain and headache. An examination focuses on posture, stance, leg length, foot type, asymmetries and curvatures in the spine. We assess the functioning of the spine and different joints. We evaluate neuromuscular integrity and can examine all the joints of the body (except the inner ear…). An important focus is assessing the kinetic chain. The kinetic chain describes how the action (or dysfunction) of the foot, ankle, knee and hip all have an impact on the functioning of the pelvis and low back. Understanding the scope of the problem, addressing dysfunction of the joints and musculature involved sets the ground work for a rehabilitative program for stability in the long term.

We have Moved!

Children that have had a significant fall, hit their teeth, can have recurring episodes of pain, neck or back depending on the area injured. The tissues of the spine are developing and more fragile than the adult skeleton. A hard fall can result in injury and periods of pain. This should not be ignored, but taken serious so it does not become a life long problem. The goal is to get help to normalize function, then get advice how to take care of the injury and understand which exercises to make the area more stabile. This is appropriate following an evaluation by someone skilled in assessing children.

How serious are sports injuries?

Injuries in pre-adolescence must also be respected. It is important for parents and coaches to realize that this is a period of growth and the skeleton is growing and developing. It is actually weaker and susceptible to injury with overloading. This is not a time to work with intensive stretching as the bones and muscles elongate at different paces. It is not either a time to increase the intensity and frequency of training. Injuries to the developing skeleton can be permanent and respected.
