KIDS IN CHIROPRACTIC

"I witnessed my 12 year old son's spinal curvature corrected before my very eyes".

The JosephMethod for Children

One of the most important applications of the JosephMethod is for children.

· Children may get into all kinds of situations that are difficult for their young bodies to adapt to properly.

· Children may have undiagnosed misalignments.

· These misalignments can come from an assortment of minor injuries related to what is usually considered normal behavior for children: poor posture, playing or sitting.

· These misalignments may not be treated properly because the child appears to be so resilient that the effects of the misalignment can seem to disappear.

· I just heard recently, that a child at age 13 fell and landed on her head and neck, did not display symptoms, and so was untreated until age 21. There is scar tissue in the musculature and an abnormal cervical curve. This patient has had chronic headaches and neck pain.

· Many of our patients who are children have reported an increase in flexibility, back strength, and stamina. Many also report a major increase in wellness. They reported being sick less often and with less severity.

When The Twig is Bent So Grows The Tree. A child deserves better!

Issues that can cause subtle or not so subtle issues in a child's young developing body:

1. Playing injuries
2. Chronic poor posture
3. Sports injuries
4. Studying in awkward positions and other postural issues.
5. Carrying book bags, and other heavy objects.

These hidden issues may turn into back pain and suffering as an adult. Keep in mind that to correct a problem at age 4 years may need only a few visits. Many more visits may be needed if the issue were untreated until age 16. A child's body is very precious.

The JosephMethod Addresses Scoliosis -Curvature of the Spine

· Particularly important to a parent is the condition known as Scoliosis- abnormal curvature of the spine. Undiagnosed misalignments in children may alter the growth pattern of the spine, and cause developmental Scoliosis."Developmental" means - it develops with your child's growth.

· The JosephMethod has been successful in addressing Scoliosis.

· The JosephMethod is both corrective and preventative.

· Scoliosis occurs in the general population at the surprising rate of 25 per 1000 people. The frequency of Scoliosis is equal among boys and girls, although girls are significantly more likely to have larger curves. A child who grows up straight and true with normal curvature of the spine is more likely to perform better in sports or utilizing their body in other ways. Scoliosis, not only tampers with their future, but may affects a child's self esteem.

Conclusion and Children's Wellness

· Caring about children includes treating misalignments, which may cause a reduction of a child's ability to perform and grow with complete freedom and ease.

· Properly evaluating a child can make all the difference for the child.

· The benefits of catching these misalignments early are immeasurable.

· A child with proper alignment could well have a much easier time relating to the world.

· The child may be able to learn to count on their own abilities and trust themselves and their bodies and ultimately view the world as a better place.

The reason the JosephMethod can work so well for children is because we may be able to influence the developing child's spine and nervous system to be the most flexible, the strongest and the most free from blockages and interference that it can be. Your child may be able to experience a fabulous boost in life.
