How do little kids get nerve irritation?

Birth Trauma

Over 90% of infants have some form of birth trauma to the spine. As intervention goes up during the birth process, so does the risk for having severe upper cervical subluxation. Because of these statistics, we find it essential to a baby's health that they be checked for subluxation soon after birth.

Nerve irritation (subluxations) can occur as a part of normal daily life.  They may result from physical, chemical, and/or emotional stressors or insults to our health, such as bad posture, prolonged postures, sleeping on our stomachs, knocks and falls, poor food choices, dehydration, exposure to chemicals and toxins, and stress and anxiety.  Some research suggests that even before these lifestyle stressors have an impact, nerve irritation may occur in the uterus from awkward positioning, restriction of movement, and exposure to toxins.  Subluxations or nerve irritation may also occur from birth complications such as long labors, very fast labors, or forceps or caesarean delivery. 

Research to support how effective chiropractic for children is extensive and parental satisfaction with results achieved is compelling in its own right.  Chiropractic for kids/children has been shown to be gentle, safe, and effective.  Babies can be check in our Elkhorn, WI office right after birth with special techniques to carefully correct the subluxated area and allow the baby's nervous system and body to grow and develop normally.
