Signs of Subluxation in Children
While trying to choose a topic for my article, I realized
that I have discussed the importance of chiropractic care for
kids, but I have not described the signs and symptoms of
subluxations. These signs vary with age and I will discuss what
to look for in each age category.

- School Age-
Frequent “low-grade” illnesses or “never get over their
cold” - both signs of a weak immune response
Growing pains, especially if only on one side
Asthma
Headaches
- By the time a child
reaches adolescence, subluxations often present much like
adults with neck, back, and leg pains, as well as headaches
and internal complaints.
Children do not, or cannot, voice their problems the same as
adults. When you watch children closely, however, you will
start to see some of these subtle signs. Catching these
problems as early as possible can help to avoid
complications later in life.

When we look a bit deeper, however, we find that chiropractic could have applications throughout all levels of care. I will break our discussion down into three separate categories: Palliative/Hospice care, Active Treatment and Prevention.

diet restrictions and medications, the symptoms can
range from annoying to concerning.
