Now, late for the bus they go running full speed down the stairs, grab two Pop-tarts and with a 40-pound bag of books strapped across their backs, they make a mad dash out of the house to their bus stop. At school, they sit all day in uncomfortable, hard-as-rock chairs with their heads bent over their books (whether they are reading or sleeping). When they take a break from the more than six hours of bending their necks over their books, which is in the opposite direction of their natural neck curve, they are in a constant state of stress. Are they going to pass all of their classes? When will their face clear up? Will they win their next football game or gymnastics meet? What if they don’t get into college? And this is a good-to-best-cases scenario. On top of all that, some children have other serious personal struggles with their identity, with handicaps or with peer pressure.
After school, they challenge themselves physically with sports of all sorts-football, soccer, tennis, golf, track, wrestling, basketball, baseball, volleyball. Unfortunately, often times these activities are fueled solely by the one lousy piece of pizza they had for lunch or maybe a cheeseburger and fries, or sometimes nothing at all!
By the time they arrive back at home in the evening, they are often exhausted, not to mention cranky. Dinner often is fast-food or if it is homemade they fall asleep on the couch while it is being prepared with their bodies contorted in some unbelievable position. After dinner, it’s homework time or probably more likely TV time or computer time where they sit lifeless for another several hours. Or maybe they sit and talk on their cell phone for hours on end with their friends, again with their heads tilted down stressing their delicate neck musculature. Finally, you yell to them saying it’s getting late and they better get ready for bed (mostly because you’re exhausted at this point and you just don’t want to deal with it anymore).
Well, with all the physical, chemical and emotional stress your child packs into the typical day, do you really think their spines are going unaffected? Spinal misalignments or subluxations are caused by STRESS! Physical, chemical and emotional stress can and do weaken the entire body including the spine. It’s when the body is weakened, run down, and exhausted is when the spine can no longer hold its position and becomes subluxated. Subluxations cause interference and dysfunction to the nervous system. The nervous system is responsible for organizing every system in the body, so when it dysfunctions it creates dis-organization within the body instead of organization. If you want your child to learn and grow and play and be all they can be, and should be, you simply must have their spines checked regularly. It’s that simple. Have your child checked for subluxation, if you haven’t done so already. That way they won’t have to live years or decades with their bodies in a state of dis-organization. I encourage everyone to be adjusted very regularly for life. Because it just makes sense! So, make the time for you and your family to fit it in. It’s vitally important for your life…
