The Effect
Of A Chiropractic Spinal Adjustment On Toddler Sleep Pattern And
Behavior
The interaction of the cervical spine with the nervous system,
and the effectiveness of spinal adjustment in the management of the
poor sleeping patterns of a 12-month-old male were discussed.
Since birth, the 12 month old boy would wake up 7-8 times a night.
Medication (Panadol) had been given without success. Following the
first adjustment to the boy’s upper neck (C1/2) and his mid
thoracic spine (T8/9) the child slept for 7 hours.
So many parents figure it is “the luck of the draw” with
respect to how well their child sleeps...or doesn't sleep.
Too often interruption of normal sleep patterns is a sign that there
is interference to the child’s nervous system.
If your child, or a child you know is in this situation, have their
spine checked for Subluxations so their health may be assured.
