School-Age Children
School girl
During the grade school years the physical world opens up. New sports, snow boarding, sledding, learning to ride a bike, climb a tree, and more daring exploits(!) can outstrip abilities. Major physical trauma is obvious: a broken bone, a loss of consciousness or concussion. Any child who has had a major trauma should be checked for biomechanical injury. But the lifestyle of a school age child is also one of minor trauma. Usually these minor injuries resolve on their own, but sometimes they don’t. The minor trauma itself or an accumulation of minor injuries can cause biomechanical injury and a disruption in the structural system.
Many children already struggling with hidden biomechanical injuries from the past are even more prone to getting injured further. They tend to be less coordinated, have poorer balance, have less efficiently developed motor patterns and less developed proprioceptive skills. They may be shy and less able to participate socially, unable to focus and prone to hyperactivity, unable to process new learning, or are unpleasant, uncooperative, and a bully. These children have more gaps in their sensory-motor and emotional neural networks.
If biomechanical injury is the root cause of these gaps, Axial Stability Method® chiropractic treatment can be a miracle cure. Behavioral problems, emotional irritability and frustration, sensory integration problems, insomnia, poor balance, poor immunity and digestion, neurological delays, unequal use of the limbs, learning disabilities, language delays and visual problems are signs that there might be underlying biomechanical injury. Stabilizing the structural system through chiropractic treatment can allow the body to fill in these neurological network gaps.
A sure sign of injury is the development of scoliosis. With Axial Stability Method chiropractic, we routinely correct scoliotic young spines. A curve in the spine is not normal and is usually correctable by conservative, non-invasive means if treated early enough. Stabilizing the cranium, pelvis, and spine allows the body to straighten the curve.
Occasionally a child may complain of recurring headaches or chronic musculoskeletal pain. No child should be in chronic pain. It is a sign of injury and should not be ignored. Early intervention can save a lifetime of complaints.
