As the twig is bent, so grows the tree.
Just as a tree will follow
by growing in the same direction as its twigs or branches, the adult
spine will grow and mature into the shape of its infant's spine.
If an infant's spine has
subluxations and these are not eliminated, these subluxations can
develop into more serious problems later in life. Having your
child's spine checked for subluxations is the best way to ensure
they won't have problems later in life. |
Chiropractic + Children = A
healthier tomorrow!
As a
father, Dr. Eisen knows the importance of taking care of your children,
especially when it comes to their health.
As we all recognize the value of
Chiropractic care for adults, it is very important to have your child's
spine checked by a Chiropractor to make sure that he or she does not
have any subluxations that may inhibit their own body's expression of
optimal health. Having your child’s spine checked today is one of
the best things you can do for your child's future. Chiropractic
adjustments for children are very gentle, specific, and effective.
Most of all adults' spinal problems
begin in early childhood. By getting children under chiropractic care,
you can likely avoid the problems that many adults face later in life.
Providing care for their spines as early as possible is important and at
our family-oriented facility we feel you shouldn’t wait until children
develop problems before trying to help them. Many adults suffer
throughout their lifetime with problems that may have been avoided by
seeking chiropractic care as children or teenagers.
Children grow at an incredible rate and
they need to be free of any interferences for their proper development.
As their bodies grow, so do any problems that may be developing.
Childhood is the time that simple, temporary problems become permanent.
As the old saying goes, "As the twig is bent, so grows the tree."
Children's health is Dr. Eisen's passion and purpose, so please have Dr.
Eisen check your child today!

The First
Subluxation...
Many people do not realize that the first subluxation can come
directly from the birthing process when too much pressure is used to
extract the baby, whether by hands, forceps, or other instruments.
This is why it is critical to have all newborns checked by
Chiropractors. Even the so-called “normal” birth experience
can subject a newborn’s delicate spine to excessive pressure and
stress, causing spinal nerve interference. This nerve interference
or subluxation can affect the infant’s ability to express health to
his/her fullest potential. Childhood is a very active time.
Running, jumping, falls and accidents are all part of a normal
childhood and yet they can cause spinal misalignments. Many
parents believe the children are fine because there is no external
evidence of injury or obvious symptom. However, resulting spinal
injuries are often overlooked and many times are left uncorrected. |
Childhood...
Childhood is the
next major hurdle that children go through. Kids have more falls,
tumbles and strains in the first few years of life than in the rest of
their entire lives. The National Safety Council reports in a study of
536 children that 50% had fallen head first from a high place in the
first year of life. This can cause vertebral subluxations to their spine
and most often go unnoticed. As the child grows up, they play sports,
fall off bikes, fall off beds, etc., going through a typical, normal
childhood. These minor disturbances to their spines add up slowly over
time to cause problems, either as a child or adult. Remember this nerve
interference or subluxation can affect the infant’s ability to express
health to his/her fullest potential. The unique qualification of
Chiropractors is the detection and correction of vertebral subluxations.
See the Vertebral Subluxation link on our home page for more
information.
Adolescence...
Entering into
adolescence can be a tough experience for today's teenagers whom are
faced with social, emotional, physical, and mental challenges on a daily
basis. Chiropractic care and the removal of subluxations can help
them reach their full health potential and give them more of a positive
self image, and athletic edge needed in today's society. Also the
use of natural Chiropractic care teaches the teenager how to establish
healthy lifestyle habits that they will set for the rest of their lives,
including how to be aware and be respectful to their bodies without the
use of toxins like alcohol, tobacco, and drugs.
Pregnancy...
Studies show
that women are able to carry and deliver their babies with more comfort
when receiving chiropractic care. These adjustments are specifically
tailored to the pregnant woman. Correcting vertebral subluxation ensures
that both the expectant mother and her unborn child have the best
opportunity to have a healthy pregnancy and birth. We believe strongly
in the benefits of chiropractic care to the mother and unborn child.
If your
baby has not moved into the vertex position (head down) after your 7th
month, come visit us today. Dr. Eisen knows a very specific chiropractic
adjustment for expectant women who have their unborn child in the breech
position (intrauterine constraint). The Webster Technique is a specific
chiropractic adjustment that reduces interference to the nervous system,
balances out pelvic muscles and ligaments which in turn removes
constraint to the woman’s uterus and allows the baby to get in the best
position for birth. Many times, this avoids a C-section birth.
