Even so called 'natural' birthing methods can cause stress to a young spine and head. Often,problems with the mother whilst pregnant, particularly in the pelvis, make for a difficult and stressful birth for baby, even though mum may not be aware of their presence. The ensuing nervous irritation can be the cause of many newborn health complaints. Colic, unexplained crying, poor appetite, breathing problems, and allergic reactions can often be traced to nerve system dysfunction. Therefore completebaby care starts with mum during her pregnancy. If allowed to persist poor nervous system function can lead to compromised development, behavioural disorders and later still can set the stage for scoliosis, 'growing pains,' and a weakened immune system response. Chiropractic adjusting techniques are modified to be suitable for a child's age, size, weight, and unique problems. Parents often report that their children seem healthier than other kids their age. Many spinal problems seen in adults begin in childhood. Optimal neural function is an important key to better health. |
