Kids Get Chiropractic - Do You?
Watch a child grow in the first few years of life and you will see the ultimate potential of a being that knows no limits. Without even much encouragement a child eagerly has the drive and desire to rapidly advance into more of him or herself. By the age of around one they barely flinch when they fall, they tend to just get right back up and they often don't want help. We can learn a lot from children. Even great sages and spiritual leaders have often been described as 'child-like' in a desirable way.
Although children are unfamiliar with the ways of the world for safety reasons, they sure know how to navigate the essentials when it comes to body wisdom. They fall asleep anywhere they are tired, they eat when they are hungry and they don't when they are not, the insticltively know how to get food from the very first moments of life, and they know how to get their point across if they want something. A kids favorite first words are 'no' for good reason, because they know what they know and they don't need you telling them anything different. Before language takes over they are well versed on listening to their own inner intelligence that as chiropractors we call innate. It is the intelligence that exists in all living things that knows all, does all and needs no help, just no interference.
Children also love physical bonding and contact, they practically demand it by crawling up on your lap when they want to, they reach to be lifted when they need some face time, and if a boo-boo is not kissed, well...it's not good. They instinctively know that physical contact is important to them, and we instantly give them what they need in the form of a back rub or pat, a stroke to the head or hair, and a smile of assurance. Isn't it interesting that the back is the first place of contact to soothe?
In my house, all hugs seem to lead to an adjustment to the spine, it would seem odd for me to reach around my sons back and not palpate their spine for misalignments. My gift to them will always be their health through chiropractic by keeping them connected to their innate intelligence within using the most caring way that I know how. Kids understand Chiropractic right away, as they have been living the chiropractic pinciples since birth. You know it to, but have you forgotten?
