Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic Care Helps Infants & Children

How Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic Care Can Help Infants & Children

Did you know that Atlas Orthogonal chiropractic care is beneficial for not only adults, but also infants and children? The first trauma a child may face is delivery.  An OB-GYN can use up to thirty-five pounds of pressure to pull a baby out by the head with the head and neck rotated. While necessary, of course, getting a baby checked for spinal alignment is critical for good health. Colic, ear infections, and other conditions that are considered to be “normal” rites of passage for infants and children may very well be symptoms of nerve interference.

Dr. Michlin is the only Board Certified Atlas Orthogonist in North Texas. The atlas is the top bone in the spine, sitting right at the brain stem. Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic care naturally supports whole body health from within by reducing the nerve interference that would otherwise hinder communication between the brain and body and the body and the brain.  Incorrect alignment in the spine affects the brain’s ability to seamlessly send messages through the central nervous system. Think of the nervous system as a major super highway: if there’s a blockage at the first on-ramp, information is unable to reach its final destination, much less begin the journey! However, if you could remove this blockage, messages could freely flow along the central nervous system. The atlas vertebra is this “first entrance”; it’s the single bone that controls the alignment of the entire spine. The Atlas Precision Adjusting Instrument is gentle, specific, and reproducible.

From Cognition and Mobility Challenges to Walking with Ease: A Patient Success Story

Fort Worth chiropractor Dr. Michlin was in Atlanta, Georgia caring for a six-year old boy. The young boy was only able to walk on his tippy toes. His cognition was not 100 percent: he could understand communication but struggled to respond. Following a gentle atlas adjustment, the young boy experienced an immediate release. He stood up and walked flat-footed for the first time in his life. Previously, it had taken Dr. Michlin and a whole team nearly two hours to take three simple x-rays of his neck. Following the adjustment, the young boy even helped Dr. Michlin complete the post-care x-rays in a matter of minutes. Most impressively, he was able to speak in complete sentences for the first time in his life!

How Our Fort Worth Chiropractor Can Help

Dr. Michlin has significant experience gently adjusting infants, toddlers and children. Here are two of the many ways that chiropractic care can make a difference for their health:

1. Fewer Chronic Ear Infections for Children

Have you been told that your child needs to have his or her tonsils removed or get tubes in the ears due to chronic ear infections? Have you been told your child needs antibiotics for an ear infection? If so, pediatric chiropractic may be able to help resolve the underlying problem and prevent these unnecessary and invasive treatments. Dr. Michlin has witnessed amazing results in young children following a gentle atlas orthogonal chiropractic adjustment. By removing nerve interference, the brain and body are able to better communicate with one another. The Eustachian Tube opens in the ear and resume appropriate fluid drainage, naturally reducing the occurrence of ear infections.

2. Stimulates the Immune System

The immune system interacts directly with the nervous system affecting overall health. Again, obstructions with the signaling pathways between the nervous and the immune system impact the ability to heal adequately. Without the use of surgery or medication, chiropractic care removes these barriers so that the body can properly repair itself at a genetic level and stimulate the immune system fully.

One of Dr. Michlin’s best testaments to better health through Chiropractic care comes from one of his seven year old patients. When he feels a cold or a fever coming on he tells his mother that he needs to go and see “The Bone Doctor.” Mom happens to be a Pediatric Nurse who brings her children to Back To Health Family Chiropractic to help boost the immune system. This boy and his brother do not get the traditional medicines and are very healthy, have never had ear infections, and are living a healthy lifestyle free of dis-ease.

3. Gentle, Safe Adjustments for Newborns

Our Fort Worth chiropractor Dr. Michlin recommends adjusting infants shortly after they are born. His youngest patient was an hour old! Even with a natural birth, the birthing process can be traumatic for the body. As mentioned, there can be a great deal of pressure on the baby’s head and neck. The cervical spine can become caught up in the umbilical cord. Newborns with a low Apgar scores may benefit from adjustments to reduce nervous system interference and lower the risk for SIDS and colic.
