Children go through numerous developmental changes as they grow. The first to develop is the nervous system. Hence, it is vital that their nervous system experience as little interference as possible. The interference can result from ‘vertebral subluxation’ or a misalignment of the spine which then causes irritation and interference on the nervous system. One of the first vertebral subluxation an infant can experience is the birth process, when immense pressure is placed on their spinal column when exiting the

womb. Following birth, they learn to walk but not until they have taken hundreds of tumbles. They fall off bikes, out of trees, and suffer other traumas in other sports activities. All these traumas added will take a toll on their spine.
 
Just as your child may need braces to straighten his/her teeth, he/she must also get checked periodically by a chiropractor to ensure a healthy spine and nervous system.  
   
Research has shown that kids who undergo chiropractic care have better health than their counterparts who only undergo medical care. They were shown to have less ear infections, less allergies, less cases of tonsillitis, and overall required less medicine.  
   
The number of children and teenagers suffering from scoliosis is increasing every year in HK. The earlier scoliosis is detected in children, the faster and better the results of chiropractic treatment are.
