As the human body ages, it undergoes damage from continuous use, resulting in different types of pain in the neck and back. This pain, which is usually attributed to aging, is actually due to a shift in your spinal alignment. From sitting in front of a computer for hours at a time to the way you lounge on the sofa, your spine shifts, which in turn causes your muscles to pull in unnatural ways. Everything in the body is connected, so when one bone in your neck shifts position it causes a shift in the rest of your skeletal and muscular system. However, spinal misalignment is not just a problem for adults. Due to lifestyle changes, increase in technology use and viewing, poor posture, and other factors, children also experience issues with their alignment. Because a child’s body is still developing, it is crucial for them to maintain proper alignment. One of the best ways to ensure proper spinal alignment and health is to seek out pediatric chiropractic care, one of the many chiropractic services offered through Total Wellness Solutions.
