Chiropractic & Children

"Take him to see Shaana", echoed another parent in the school playground.

"A chiropractor! Surely they specialize in back complaints, how could she possibly help, I thought to myself".

Our 6 yr old son had been suffering with recurrent upper respiratory infections. Within a short period of seven months he had suffered fourteen infections. No sooner he finished one course of antibiotics he was started on another. Even after a tonsillectomy the infection continued somewhere else. He was continuously unwell, rarely well enough to attend school, lacked energy, lost weight and was just not coping well with life in general. Through sheer desperation I turned to Shaana.

It's been like a miracle, a year had passed now since our son’s first appointment; his life and the whole families lives have been turned around. Our son is keeping well, able to thrive, doing well at school and as his teacher commented, has a new found enthusiasm for learning.

"The only problem we have now is being able to keep up with all his energy and sporting activities".

Chiropractic does not involve the use of any drugs or surgery and is a great way to help restore children’s health the natural way.

An example of this is the common childhood problem, ear infections:

When there is an ear infection, there usually is impaired drainage in the cervical neck lymphatic drainage, causing a reduction in the lymphatic outflow from the eustation tube. This allows fluid to build up in the inner ear making an inviting environment for bacteria and virus to breed.

Instead of using treatment that will kill the virus or bacteria, the natural chiropractic approach would be to restore normal drainage of the ear and Eustachian tube and deep cervical lymphatic. Chiropractic corrects the spinal subluxation in the neck. This reduces or eliminates the tense neck muscles which have blocked the normal drainage. The inviting environment for virus /bacteria to grow is removed and the body can fight the infection naturally and effectively.

In a similar, natural way chiropractic care removes subluxations in other part of the body and is effective in treating:

And many other childhood conditions.
