Children and Chiropractic
YOUR CHILD & CHIROPRACTIC
By Terry. A. Rondberg, DC
Every baby needs to have a healthy spinal column. It’s the framework that will support your child
throughout his or her growing years and adulthood. Studies have shown that newborn infants often
enter the world with spinal trauma due to the birth process. Even under the best conditions, birthing can
be difficult for the infant who has spent nine months cradled in the dark, warm “waterbed” of the womb.
It’s very important to have your infant checked by a chiropractor shortly after his or her birth to be certain
that there isn’t any nerve interference. Periodic checks should continue throughout your child’s lifetime.
In 1987, the German medical journal, Manuelle Medizin, published a report of a study that found over
1,000 infants with nerve interference in the upper neck area which caused a variety of clinical conditions,
ranging from central motor impairment to lowered resistance to infections, especially those of the ears,
nose and throat.
In one case history, an eighteen-month-old boy suffered from tonsillitis, frequent enteritis, conjunctivitis,
colds and earaches. Because of all these ailments he had trouble sleeping. After his first spinal
adjustment, the little boy began to sleep through the night and it wasn’t long before he was in good
health.
Scientists are still learning how to accurately assess the damage to infants. They do know that a slight
pull on the neck during delivery can cause a subluxation that might cause damage too slight to be
noticeable immediately. But eventually might cause some learning disability.
One of the greatest gifts you can give your newborn is a complete spinal examination by a doctor of
chiropractic.
CAN CHIROPRACTIC HELP MY CHILD?
We recommend all children be checked regularly for nerve interference, even without symptoms
present. However, if you know a child who is not under chiropractic care and suffers from any of the
following problems, please urge the child’s parent’s to consider chiropractic.

Colic Leg/hip/foot pain Weakness/fatigue Sinus problems
Croup Numbness Ear Infections Eye problems
Allergies Headaches Skin Problems Scoliosis
Wheezing Cough/colds One leg shorter Arthritis
