In this office we can offer your newborn, child, or adolescent chiropractic care that will provide them with optimal health and happiness for their growing needs.Spinal Trauma
Many parents do not link spinal trauma and newborns. The reality is the birthing process more times than not can cause spinal trauma. During the birthing process, there is a relatively small area for the baby to pass through considering the size of the infant. During the delivery process, in order to minimize discomfort of the mother and baby, abnormally excessive and unnatural forces are commonly used. This can and commonly does result in injuries to the infant's spine- mainly the cervical spine (neck area). As years go by the child development is rapid. Many of these injuries will not present a problem till later in the child's life. Many parents opt to have their newborn checked by a chiropractor to rule out any birth trauma or unforeseen injuries that down the road may cause problems. Call Dr. Talan's office to have your newborn's spine checked.
Growing Up
Babies and children grow quickly, and their muscles, ligaments, and bones develop rapidly. A jump, tumble, or fall can jar the body, affect the spine and possibly disrupt the delicate nervous system. Some of the affects these traumas can contribute to on the body can surface right away or lay dominant and go undetected for years. Many parents bring their children in to increase the health of their child. Conditions they come in for commonly are scoliosis, back pain, ear infections and infantile colic to name a few. But parents should understand before a condition occurs you should have your child's spine checked just like you do their teeth. Spinal decay can happen just as readily as tooth decay only we do not realize that because we do not see spinal decay like tooth decay when we smile in the mirror. Call today to have a spinal check up for your child (510) 745-7445.
