| The Spine & Infant Health Of a random group of 1,250 babies examined 5 days after birth, 211 suffered from vomiting, hyperactivity and sleeplessness—spinal abnormalities were found in 95% of this group. Spinal adjustment "frequently resulted in immediate quieting, cessation of crying, muscular relaxation and sleepiness." The authors noted that an unhealthy spine causes "many clinical features from central motor impairment to lower resistance to infections—especially ear, nose and throat infections."1 In one case history, an 18-month-old boy suffered from tonsillitis, frequent enteritis, therapy-resistant conjunctivitis, frequent colds and earache and increasing sleeping problems. After the first spinal adjustment, the child demanded to be put to bed and slept peacefully until morning. His health returned to normal. The two medical doctors who authored the above mentioned study concluded that a chiropractic spinal checkup " ...should be obligatory after every difficult birth" and any spinal stress "should be... adjusted ...The success of adjustment overshadows every other type (of care)."2 In another study, of 1093 newborns checked, 298 had upper neck stress and early signs of scoliosis.3 For over a hundred years, doctors of chiropractic have observed often dramatic responses from some infants after a chiropractic spinal adjustment with conditions as varied as Erb's palsy, in which an arm is limp and undeveloped,4 unbalanced facial and skull symmetry,5 foot inversion,6 colic,7-9 torticollis (twisted neck),10,11 "nervousness," and ear, nose and throat infections,12 |
