Parents of children coming into the Whole Child Wellness program are sometimes surprised by the fact that chiropractic treatment is a part of the program. How can spinal manipulation help with symptoms of ADHD, Asperger's, Autism or Opisitional Disorder?
Spinal joints that are improperly positioned, or subluxated, can cause irritation or pressure to the nerves exiting the spinal column. This leads to poor nerve signal transmission from the brain to the body and from the body back to the brain. The brain is dependant upon this "super-highway" of nerve signals to control all bodily functions (respiration, digestion, blood pressure, etc.), for proprioception and coordination, and to make sense out of all the sensory input our bodies are constantly receiving from the world around us.
Spinal subluxations are common in children due to falls, rough play and birth trauma. It is so important to remove these sources of interference in their internal communication system and allow their "information super-highway" to function at it's best.
