Subluxations are misalignments of the spine that put stress on the joints, ligaments & muscles, but more importantly can put stress directly on the brain stem, spinal cord, & spinal nerves. The 1st subluxation that we can all get is during the birthing process, whether a natural or medical intervention birth, it's a very traumatic process for the mother & baby. Research shows that C-sections with forceps or vacuum extraction can be equivalent to a grade 2 whiplash. Unfortunately, a lot of children don't get checked for subluxations until they have symptoms, which means they could be developing incorrectly for years before they ever get them corrected. You add this with all the slips falls & spills kids have in the early years of their lives it's no wonder we see children's dis-eases & medications on the rise. That is why we love seeing kiddos & helping healthy kids grow into healthy adults naturally without the use of harmful drugs or medications
