KIDS ARE US!
Kids & Chiropractic

We value our children so much and want to give them the best in all areas of life. Let's examine how chiropractic can play a key role in achieving and maintaining optimum health.

The process of birth can be one of the most traumatic for any newborn. Babies can't communicate pain except through means such as crying and irritability. Chiropractors have treated many newborns right out of the womb.

Clearly, children suffer many micro-traumas, and even macro-traumas from their experimentation and excessive activity. Studies have revealed that up to half of all babies fall on their head in the first year. As children grow, poor postural habits can develop and poor mechanics, while standing or walking can come into play. Falling off bicycles, jumping out of trees and other creative activities clearly are causes for problems now and in the future. Children can develop subluxations just like their parents.

Here are some conditions that have responded to chiropractic care.

PREGNANCY

Marianne is a typical example of a first-time mother-to-be who benefited from chiropractic care. Having suffered with low-back and hip pain, she was gently treated to help alleviate the pain resulting from reduced mobility of the lower back. The nerves had become irritated, causing intense pain. Upon normalizing the motion in her lower back and treating the cause of her nerve injury, chiropractic assisted her to comfortably enjoy her first pregnancy.

BIRTH TRAUMA

One of my greatest joys was treating a one-week-old infant, Willie, whose arm was totally limp and non-functional from a difficult birth. This condition typically takes years to recover. Within a week, response was noted and within a month his arm was responding completely like his non-injured arm.

POSTURAL CHANGE

John was brought in for a chiropractic evaluation by his mother. No symptoms were present. He had a developing scoliosis, which has been successfully treated with chiropractic care. Note the imbalances in his posture before care and improvement with treatment.

EAR INFECTIONS!!! OOUCH!

Andrew

Hi, my name is Andrew, you're probably wondering why a perfect kid like me would need chiropractic care. Well, you see I kept getting these ear infections. My pediatrician prescribed medications but that would only help for a short time, and then the ear infection would come back. I suffered like this for four months. My mom although a little hesitant at first decided to bring me to Dr. Ken. He has been wonderful! Not only is Dr. Ken patient, kind, and gentle, but I haven't had an ear infection in three months.

My mom and dad have both been treated by Dr. Ken for back pain, so we were very excited to see it could also help me for ear infections. I know we would recommend chiropractic care to everyone.

KNEE PAIN - KNEE PAIN

Cathy

I came to Dr. Lowey because of a deep pain in and around my knee, which I have had for three months. I first saw my own doctor and he only recommended aspirin and heat. I wasn't able to participate in some activities and wanted to get some help before my knee became worse.

Dr. Lowey treated me and taught me exercises. In a short time the pain in my knee was gone and I was able to do things again.

I feel happy, not worried, and confident I can get help when I need it from my chiropractor.

Thank you Dr. Lowey
