The average child has about 1,000 traumas before they enter adulthood. For instance, when learning how to walk, they fall. Learning how to ride a bike, they fall. Navigating playground games and backyard play, they tumble and knock heads.
These traumas can and do cause spinal misalignments, which is when the bone moves slightly out of its normal position in the spine. This may cause an immediate problem where the child complains ("ouch!") or not. Another concern is the damage being caused to the spinal nerve. Our spinal nerves go to all areas of our body including muscles, organs and glands. When the bones of the spine or vertebrae misalign, the function of the body is altered. Many times, this goes undetected for months or even years if a child is not under regular chiropractic care.
So, what effect could this have on their health? Long-term damage to spinal nerves and incorrect nervous system signaling to areas of the body can have profound effects. A misalignment in the first thoracic vertebrae, which is at the top of the ribcage, can cause bronchial problems such as asthma. A misalignment in the first cervical vertebrae in the neck could lead to chronic ear infections, head colds or migraines.
Only a chiropractic doctor is trained through years of experience to be able to feel the subtle difference in a spinal joint that is either moving correctly or is not.
Chiropractic adjustments are safe for all ages. An adjustment is the term used to correct spinal misalignment back to its normal position and restore function to that area of the body.
In Dr. Dellaria's practice, he has had the privilege of seeing multiple generations from patients' newborns, to childhood, adulthood and now their children. Patients tell him all the time how their children just don’t seem to have the problems other children have. This includes not getting sick as often or when they do get sick, recovering faster, and many times, not needing to take anything to recover. Also, they’re injured less frequently in sports. They have less trouble concentrating in school. Many of them have a more positive outlook on life, handle stress better and overall, are healthier.
Founder and main doctor at Holistic Health Center, P.C., Dr. Dellaria uses his wide, diverse education along with his 24 years of experience in practice to help patients’ conditions that do not respond to traditional medical care. His success lies in the refreshing new take on chiropractic meets functional medicine.
