Since all function is controlled and coordinated by the brain and nervous system, function can be impaired over a period of time, if these stressors are not eliminated. When the upper spinal nerves are affected, the immune system can be affected by functioning less them optimally. Also the fluid within the Eustachian tubes does not flow as well and pools, which is then a breeding ground for bacteria and viruses. By adjusting the child, we can restore balance to the spine and allow their little bodies to function at a higher level. These adjustments are either done gently by hand or by an instrument that gently taps over the first vertebrae.
Children tolerate the adjustment well.
As a chiropractor who has seen many children over the years, I know that by restoring normal balance to the spine, the children can become healthy. Healing can begin within their bodies. Our children deserve to be healthy and all of our bodies were designed and intended for well-being, not sickness and disease. Dr. Lori Krauss has been a chiropractor in Fort Collins, CO for 13 years. She graduated from Chiropractic College in Los Angeles.
