Dr. Richard Hagmeyer of Naperville, IL Rids Stiff Necks and Headaches

Disorders of the spine cause more childhood disorders than most people acknowledge. For instance, children’s headaches would seem to be the least likely ailment to be corrected by chiropractic, however, a study has proven that out of 27 children suffering from headaches, chiropractic benefitted 24 of the children involved. Stiff necks would seem to be the least common childhood problem, but children do suffer from stiff necks.
Although headaches are one of the warning signs of a misalignment, many parents don’t realize that children can be suffering from a misalignment that could be adjusted by chiropractic. Many of the bumps and bruises received during the growing years can manifest into a problem if children are not examined for misalignments. One such problem that could arise is headaches.
Headaches are caused by a variety of conditions and these conditions have been triumphantly treated by chiropractic adjustments for over 85 years. Chiropractic is a uniquely successful method of correcting the causes of headaches without subjecting children to extensive testing and various medications. Two studies conducted in Texas in the 1970’s found that chiropractic adjustments can help with all types of childhood ailments.
Another such problem that could arise from a misalignment is a stiff neck. The neck is extremely flexible which makes it easily susceptible to injury. A neck injury can interfere with the function of the spinal cord and can result in a serious disturbance of the body’s network system.
