Kids and Chiropractic
We are often asked how expectant women and children can benefit from receiving chiropractic care.
Prenatal Checkups
Health begins before birth! Babies benefit from Chiropractic care before they are born by having a mother who
receives prenatal Chiropractic checkups, a healthy diet and proper exercise. Chiropractic care improves the
nervous system and therefore benefits the developing baby by improving overall function to the fetus while it is
developing. Having the pelvis aligned and low back functioning properly can reduce the complications of delivery.
Women under chiropractic care report having easier deliveries and quicker recovery times. How does it get any
better than that?
Pregnancy is a time when the body is undergoing many changes all as nature intended. The service I provide
assists women through this process with grace and ease.
Here are some of the results of expectant women who receive consistent chiropractic care:
* Decreased back and pelvic pain, carpal-tunnel symptoms and other bodily aches/pains
* Increased ease with natural changes related to pregnancy
* Increased pelvic space facilitating the baby’s growth with ease during labor and delivery
* Decreased labor duration
* Decreased need for pain relief drugs during delivery due to a higher acceptance Of natural bodily processes
* Increased ease and comfort during labor and birth

Infants
Every individual is in need of a healthy spinal column. It provides the framework to support your child throughout
his or her growing years to adulthood. Studies have shown that infants often enter the world with spinal trauma
due to the birthing process. Even under the best conditions the process can be difficult for the newborn. It is
very important to have your infant checked by a chiropractor shortly after birth to be certain that there is no
nerve interference occurring resulting from misalignments of the spinal column. Give your child the gift of health
from the very beginning. It
Birth Trauma
The birth process can be traumatic for both the mother and the infant. The pushing throughout the delivery is
essential to help the infant prepare for life outside the womb. What many medical professionals fail to recognize is
the stress on the newborn. Many babies, ideally, are born head-first. To assist the infant through the birth canal,
the doctor pulls on the infant's head and neck. This is where the first misalignments occur and sadly, often go
undetected. Thus leaving the child to develop maladies in young-age, e.g., colic, excessive fussiness, poor
digestion and poor muscle control.
The beautiful thing is that infants and children respond amazingly well to chiropractic care because of their
ability to heal and lack of chronic spinal conditions.

Children
The entire family can benefit individually and as a whole by having spinal checkups from Dr. Janna Huboi. Children
under maintenance care will have a healthy nervous system providing a superior immune system and therefore
benefit by having fewer infections, allergies, "growing pains", ADD/ADHD, and have an easier time with growing and
adapting. Have you ever wondered if your child's head is on straight? How can your child function at his/her best
with nerve interference. Often, there are no obvious signs as we would see with adults. With children, nerve
interference presents itself with attention troubles, digestive/sleep/balance/coordination issues, recurring illness
and learning difficulties.
Can Chiropractic Help My Child?
It is recommended that all children be checked regularly for nerve interference, even without obvious symptoms
present. Parents who are aware of the importance of a properly functioning nerve system automatically want
their children checked by a Chiropractor so the child can have the best chance to stay healthy. Who wouldn't
want that for their child?
The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association has a great website, full of helpful information you can use to
make the best choice for your family. Check it out. www.ICPA4kids.org
Adjustments
Chiropractic adjusting techniques are modified to fit a child's size and growing structure. Many spinal problems in
adults begin in childhood. Get checked in childhood and have the best possibility to develop into a healthy adult.


The first misalignments happen at
birth from the pulling and twisting to
the newborn's neck. Ouch!!
Gentle, precise adjustments to perfectly
realign the spine. The pressure used is
very little and very effective.

As the fetus develops, it puts more and more stress on
the pelvis and low back. Relaxin (hormone that
enables pelvis to open up during delivery) as it is
released throughout the system has the effect of
loosening up all the joints, thus making pregnant
women more prone to misalignment (It also make them
very easy to correct!). And no, expectant mothers are
not X-rayed, and neither are children.
