Every parent wants the best for their children. How could a parent not? Have you had to experience your young child going through a pain and suffering? Often times this is unbearable for a parent to handle. Things like colic, ear infections, and asthma are just a few of the many issues that a parent may have to contend with. Many people offer solutions to these sicknesses, but often times these are insignificant to a child truly getting well.

To ensure a child’s health, parents gather facts and expand their knowledge in every possible way. One way of checking their physical condition is the regular examination of their spine and nervous system for imbalances. These imbalances, can create a state of disconnect between the brain and the body, and may lead to an inability of the child’s “healing messages” from being sent to the body in a normal and natural fashion. A Cape Girardeau Chiropractic Clinic may be able to help you!

Brain to Body Coordination is Crucial

The communication between a child’s brain and body is a chief element for their optimum and proper health. It is responsible for the development of the child’s entire body, from the tops of their heads to the soles of their feet. The Brainstem which is the master control of the entire body coordinates bodily functions like growth, repair, and other operations of the tissues, organs and organ systems. To execute certain tasks, the brain stem and spinal cord sends messages from the brain to the different nerves in the body. These messages can become blocked or altered, which creates dysfunction like a decrease of the immune function among a multitude of other effects. A common example is the occurrence of chronic ear infections of young children. Consequently, an Upper Cervical Chiropractor, or Cape Girardeau Chiropractic Clinic can help children develop their whole-being and immunity, by ensuring proper brain to body communication along with body balance.

How Does My Child Develop Brain to Body Disconnect

Interference at the master control system (the Brainstem) can be experienced by children starting even at the day of birth, if spinal traumas have occurred. These can happen even during seemingly normal delivery (due to inherent weaknesses of the child’s newly formed ligaments and bony structures) it is because of these weaknesses that imbalances to the spinal column and nervous system can be created. These imbalances can be manifested as damage and may be seen in early stages of the child’s development while learning basic movements like sitting up, crawling, and standing. These are some of the stages and can also include correct head support. For instance if you notice your child consistently turns their head only in one direction this could be a clue that imbalances are present. There are further possible causes of brain to body imbalance, which can result in health problems in your child. Take this statistic as an example, children fall on average 50-60 times a day while learning to walk. An average child therefore falls at least 1500-1800 times before they turn 2 years old. If even 1 of these falls created damage, isn’t it worth having your child looked at?

A routine check up with an Upper Cervical Chiropractor for spinal check-ups is a must for every child to guarantee a healthy spinal development and nerve system function.
