"Children Who Receive Chiropractic Care
Have An Unfair Advantage!"
By. Dr. Robert Hulbert
As a chiropractor who has
helped numerous children, I am delighted in the
advantages I have been able to give them. I am
referring, of course, to watching all of these
children grow and develop as they should mentally,
physically and socially without the shackles of a
depressed nerve system.
Our Philosophy Is
Simple
It truly upsets me to see
children held at a distinct disadvantage because
they are not experiencing a strong and healthy nerve
system free of interference. Give your child every
advantage to having a life and health others can
only dream about. It's easier to grow a healthy
child than repair a damaged adult.
Common Questions From
Parents
How early should children be adjusted?
Is it safe?
Aren't their bones still soft?
Why do they need adjustments?
What if they cry?
How can we afford it?
All of these questions and more
go through the minds of parents who are considering
chiropractic care for their kids. Some parents
are hesitant about getting their children adjusted
even though they are under care themselves.
Our kids are so special to us
that sometimes, in an effort to protect them, we
become over protective and deprive them of necessary
and valuable experiences.
If chiropractic care is
necessary to your good health and for reaching your
full potential in life as an adult, then it
logically follows that it is even more necessary for
a child!
After all, they have nerve
systems that control and coordinate all of their
body functions just as you do. And, just like you,
the subluxation process can interfere with the full
outward expression of their Life force.
The only difference is that
they still have an entire lifetime ahead of them in
which to manifest the results of what they do today.
It's Never Too Soon
Subluxations can occur at any
time. The first one may very well have occurred at
your baby's birth. That is why parents who
understand the importance of being subluxation-free
have their newborns examined by their chiropractor
as soon after birth as possible.
By correcting subluxations at
an early age, the damage that inevitably comes from
functioning at less than optimal levels can be
prevented. The longer a subluxation is present, the
greater the damage. In addition, the longer a
subluxation is present, the longer your child's body
will continue to "reproduce itself" (i.e., grow) in
the wrong way!
"As the twig is bent, so grows
the tree!"
Many people who come into a
chiropractor's office for the first time as adults
would have had far greater potential for regaining
their health if they had received regular
chiropractic care as children.
Kids Make Great
Patients!
Adjusting a child is not a
difficult procedure. In fact, in most cases, a
child's spine is much easier to adjust than an
adult's. They have not had the long-standing
subluxations, their muscles are usually not as tense
and they are usually more relaxed in general than
adults.
Not only are kids easier to
adjust, but also in most cases, they hold their
adjustments for longer periods of time and their
health development plans are almost always
significantly shorter than the average adult.
However, with the falls, accidents and the generally
active lives most kids experience, regular check-ups
are vital.
It's Worth The Effort
Chiropractic adjustments are
generally painless. Children may, on the first visit
or two, be somewhat reluctant. However, they rarely
hesitate to get on the table to be adjusted,
especially when they see that visiting the
chiropractor is a family affair. When they see Mom,
Dad and their brothers and sisters getting adjusted,
they are usually more than willing to be checked for
subluxations too.
We will work with you so that
your children will become accustomed to their
adjustments. In fact, in a very short period of
time, most kids really look forward to their regular
chiropractic visits.
Those children that are
reluctant at first should be lovingly told that they
must be adjusted and why it is so important (to keep
their Power on!). As parents, we realize that our
children are not going to like or enjoy everything
that is good for them. Spinach is not enjoyable for
most kids, and naps aren't much fun either.
Chiropractic adjustments are
vital to their good health, and the few tears that
may occur on the first visit (usually because of
fear of the unknown), are well worth the benefits to
our precious little ones.
Obviously, children who are
adjusted regularly from infancy think of their
visits to the chiropractor as a regular part of
their lives and are not the least bit hesitant to
climb onto the adjusting table.
Chiropractic Care is
Vital to Your Child's Health and Life!
Lastly, it is of great
importance that parents not think of adjustments for
their children as "something they might as well do
since their kids have come along to the office with
them anyway." Chiropractic care for your
children is vital to their health and is an absolute
necessity to their development and for actualization
of their full potential in every area of life.
We have financial plans
available that make it affordable for families to
receive the care they need. The money saved on
treatments for illness is often enough to convince
most parents of the benefits of family care.
But, the peace of mind that comes from knowing that
you have provided your children with the best
possible chance to perform at their best is the
greatest benefit of all!
