CHIROPRACTIC GOOD HEALTH Back To School s always, September signals a return to school for our children. And with that come many activities that can have a damaging effect upon your child's developing spine and nervous system. Spinal problems can start at a very early age, in fact, the birth process itself can wreak havoc on a baby's spine. As your child grows, there are constant stressors and spinal traumas. Sports activities, poor posture ("slouching") and working at an improperly sized desk all exact a toll. It's no wonder that many youngsters develop a spinal condition called vertebral subluxation. This condition occurs when spinal movement is restricted or bones (vertebrae) are out of alignment. Vertebral subluxation is linked with a myriad of childhood ailments, such as colic, asthma, ear infection and attention disorders. As children age, untreated vertebral subluxations may also spark headache, back pain and carpal tunnel syndrome. Chiropractors work to correct vertebral subluxations before the onset of symptoms ­ and to prevent new vertebral subluxations from forming. This is accomplished with safe and effective maneuvers called chiropractic adjustments. & Chiropractors of Oakville NORTH WEST Nottinghill Place Chiropractic Clinic 1131 Nottinghill Gate, Ste. 205 905-827-4197 Dr. Sandra Simpson Oakville Chiropractic Life Centre 1500 Heritage Way 905-825-9529 Dr. Sebastian Guarnaccia A Use both straps to distribute the weight better.

Slouching over a too-big or too-small desk, using a computer without considerations, for postural integrity and schlepping a crammed backpack for hours each day are ergonomic nightmares that incite long-term damage in many children ­ predisposing them to vertebral subluxation, headache, back pain and neck pain for years to come. Posture & Scoliosis Screening Scoliosis ­ a lateral curvature of the spine ­ is clinically significant in 5% of youngsters. Early detection is key to keeping scoliosis under control and preventing the conditions associated with it, such as back pain, headache and in severe cases, heart and lung disorders. Most parents count on in-school screening to catch scoliosis in their little ones. However, in-school evaluations only look for scoliosis and do not detect other types of postural maladies. A chiropractic postural/spinal exam includes many orthopedic & neurological tests and may include the use of computerized instrumentation and x-rays to screen the spine for developing vertebral subluxation and postural distortions.
