Chiropractic
has proven through research that the very first subluxation may be caused
by the birth process. Dr. Abraham Towbin, M.D. from the Department of Neuropathology,
Harvard Medical School and the Department of Pathology (Neonatology); St.
Margaret's Hospital, Boston, after conducting research on infants, came to
the following conclusions:
1) That the cause
of crib death could be traced in most cases to damage done to the spinal
cord under orthodox birthing procedures.
2) That Sudden
Infant Death could also be traced to spinal cord or brain stem damage at
birth or shortly thereafter.
3) That due to
direct trauma (including vertebral subluxation) at birth, a child may experience
malfunction, less than optimum behavior, and a drastically reduced life
span.
4) Most of these
problems could be avoided with an increased sensitivity to the human birth
process.
The
following are examples of stress endured in the first few moments of life!
|
|
|
|
|
Neck
strain and rotation during delivery
|
|
Forceps
applying pressure to the skull and sudden neck extension
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After
9 months in the fetal position, the neck and spine is suddenly stretched.
Possibly the first subluxation
|
|
Neck
strain and pressure applied directly to the neck and spine
|
|
|
|
Vacuum extraction
causing pressure to the cervical spine. Another possible cause
of vertebral subluxation.

Subluxations
at birth can cause many unexpected health conditions in children and eventually
effect the adult body. Correcting vertebral subluxations at a young age is
vital for a healthy nervous system. Help maintain your child's health with
regular Chiropractic care.
Birth
Trauma
A
leading German authority, Dr. Gutmann, found that 800 infants out of 1,000
checked the first month of life had subluxations (neck problems) directly
related to the birth trauma.
Dr. Towbin again: “Research indicated that the major cause
of spinal kinesiopathology in infants is childbirth and its widespread incidence
during infancy. In our mind, stressing the need for correction from
birth so that irreversible subluxation degeneration changes do not occur.
Nerve system injury through cervical spine trauma at birth causes: abnormal
function, abnormal behavior and early death (SIDS).
All
things considered, the best health plan is PREVENTION.
