Chiropractic can also help create balance in the child.  Many people don’t realize that at the time of a newborn’s birth, he/she has already been exposed to 9 months of physical, emotional and biochemical stress.  During the birth itself the infant is exposed to tremendous physical stress (and biochemical stress if medication was administered).  After birth, children continue to remain subjected to these physical, emotional and biochemical stressors daily.  Daily events such as falling, eating toxic foods for his/her body and emotional upsets can really disrupt the harmony of the child’s energy system and create symptoms.  These symptoms are sometimes very subtle and show up as irritability/mood swings, trouble sleeping or poor concentration and sometimes they are more prevalent and show up as infant colic, digestive issues (GERD, spitting up), bed wetting, suppressed immunity (frequent illness such as colds, flu, ear infections), neurological problems (seizures, speech impediments, cerebral palsy), physical limitations (multiple sclerosis, walking issues, crawling issues such as military crawl or no crawling at all) and issues that fall into the autism spectrum such as ADD, Aspergers’ and autism.
