Even before we are born, while being carried in our mother’s wombs, physical stress is put upon our developing spines.
A German medical study proved that 80% of ALL children born have misalignments (referred to as SUBLUXATIONS) of their neck due to the positions they were in while being carried in their mother’s wombs, and also due to the birthing process itself.
The study also went on to confirm that 95% of the “problems” that the children in the study presented were eliminated by Chiropractic adjustments to the newborn’s necks, which the Subluxations were detected. The problems reported included excessive crying/irritation, difficulty sleeping, and inability to feed properly.
The following well documented statistics further contribute to the reason as to WHY we ALL should undergo Chiropractic evaluations and if necessary, treatment to correct the Spinal Subluxations that we present in our spines.
By the time a child is one year old, 50% of ALL children have fallen from a changing table or high chair.
By the time a child reaches the age of 7, they have been involved in over 2,500 traumas (OSHA-Occupational Health & Safety Administration Stats).
Factor in traumas due to sports, sitting in school for many hours, abnormal postural positions associated with using the computer or playing video games.
As we grow older unfortunately the trauma associated with car accidents enter our lives and further contribute to the amount of physical stress and disturbances to the normal mechanics of the spine.
Why these traumas are so important to acknowledge is because they weaken out spines and allow the Subluxations to progress and compress the delicate spinal nerves that exit our spines and carry the life giving neurological impulses that originate in our brains and enable our bodies to function properly.
Research at the University of Colorado documented that as soon as a Subluxation occurs, the pressure on the delicate spinal nerves causes a 40% loss of nerve conductivity or loss of function. When allowed to persist, that loss of function increases up to 60%. Since these nerves innervate or supply for our major organs and muscles to function properly, any interference can result in a decline in our health and overall quality of health.
Chiropractors are specially trained to locate areas of the spine that present Subluxations and to restore normal function to those vertebral segments.
Failure to correct these misaligned vertebra will result in continued nerve interference, dysfunction of the organs/muscles/tissues innervated by those spinal nerves, and even premature degenerative changes of the spine at those involved levels.
To prevent health issues and to ensure a long and productive life is exactly WHY we ALL should consider Chiropractic as a safe and natural health care option!
