Kids and nutrition. West Palm Beach
kids don’t think about it. West Palm Beach parents don’t always think about
it. But West Palm Beach nutrition is critical in West Palm Beach
kids’ spinal development and growth and West Palm Beach chiropractic care.
Good nutrition also encourages good spine and bone
development which your West Palm Beach chiropractor thinks about!
Moses Chiropractic shares nutrition whenever the opportunity presents
itself. A good West Palm Beach nutritional foundation as a youth potentially leads to a healthier spinal life.
WHAT’S HOLDING YOUTH BACK?
So what keeps West Palm Beach young people
and their West Palm Beach parents from thinking about their nutritional
status? Likely the same things that hold young adults back - belief
their diet is appropriate, no symptomatology, and confusion over nutrient sources. (1) Moses Chiropractic knows that a life experience
draws attention.
WAKE-UP CALLS
When do young people consider their
nutritional status? At the same time it would get the attention of
an adult - when there is pain. Incredibly, 71% of
schoolchildren aged 12-17 years say that they had at least one
episode of low back pain. (2) 17.4% of students recount
cervical spine pain. 18% tell of low back pain. Older
adolescents (24.4%) are affected more by cervical spine pain
than younger ones (11.9%). Older
adolescents (25.1%) feel more lumbar spine pain than
younger ones (12.4%), too. (3) More girls than boys report back pain. (4) As
researchers describe, Moses Chiropractic notes that
West Palm Beach kids with spine pain share some risk factors for West Palm Beach back pain and
neck pain.
RISKS FOR West Palm Beach BACK PAIN
What puts kids at risk of spine pain? Lots of things
like limited sun exposure, inadequate vitamin d diets, adiposity, lower
physical activity, sedentary lifestyles, vitamin 25 (oh) d deficiency, and lower
levels of calcium, creatine kinase, and lactic dehydrogenase. (2) Being
inactive increases the odds of having neck and back pain in
adolescents. (3) In an 8-month study period, 52.2% of schoolchildren had
low back pain. 34% had moderate and 18% had severe back pain. More girls (36%) than boys (24%) report back
pain. These moderate and severe
pain schoolchildren had higher body mass indices, waist, hip and
waist-to-hip ratios. (2) Moses Chiropractic evaluates West Palm Beach
back pain kids and adults to examine for risks and set
a treatment plan to avert them from becoming painful realities.
