Why Chiropractic Treatment is essential for Children for Children
People often ask me how long their bodies have been a problem and why they have not felt it until recently. I took some x-rays of an 11 year old boy who came to see me, and I wanted to share some insights with you. Due to the EOS technology, we are able to order full body scans of people, instead of getting half the story from the previous imaging that we ordered. I looked at the x-rays of this 11 year old and realized that him being twisted up at 11 years old was shaping his bones forever in this pattern. The bones start to solidify at 18-25, so everything we do prior moulds the shape of our bones for the future. This was a light bulb moment for me in my 25 year career, as I sprained my own ankle as a child and this has made my left leg functionally longer for my whole life. It was so bad as a child, that I could not run and it twisted up my digestion and together with a fall on my head, created, now what I realise was subclinical hypothyroidism, constipation, nutrient deficiencies, hormonal overload and inflamed brain, so I have struggled with my memory and felt exhausted and foggy my whole life until I discovered natural medicine to manage it.
Now when I see children like this, it motivates me to take charge and educate the parents who want to hear, what we can do to help their child be the best they can be. If your child looks twisted, that is reducing the way that the body works and reduces that child’s health and life potential.
This boy has uncontrollable anger, high intelligence, moodiness, history of right ear infections and cannot stand evenly on both legs.
Most parents want the best for their children, so if you correct their spine when they are young, it means their bones don’t grow, as the bone is bent. As a result, the nerves work better and the energy gets where it needs to go.
So why don’t some of us feel it until we are in our 30’s? By the time we feel it 90% of the nerves are irritated. So when you fail to seek maintenance treatment from an early age, you slowly start to build ill health. It is not normal to have sore muscles, aches and pains or a yearly cold. When I touch any of my patients for the first time, they are all sore and I tell them in a few weeks they will feel nothing. Once we do a few weeks of work on them, they soon realize that what they had been feeling for many years was not normal and instead of buying material things, spending money on their health has made their life so much easier and they can achieve more on a daily basis. Some people will have to spend more and work harder than others, depending on how long they have left it before seeking the correct treatment. It is now estimated that the mistakes that we make and pass on in our genes to our children take 3 generations to correct.
Eat Bitter Foods for Digestion
