Kids and nutrition. Manahawkin
kids don’t think about it. Manahawkin parents don’t always think about
it. But Manahawkin nutrition is important in Manahawkin
kids’ spinal development and growth and Manahawkin chiropractic care.
Good nutrition also fosters good spine and bone
development which your Manahawkin chiropractor thinks about!
Manahawkin Chiropractic Center shares nutrition whenever the opportunity rises. A good Manahawkin nutritional foundation as a youth quite
possibly contributes to a healthier spinal life.
WHAT’S HOLDING YOUTH BACK?
So what prevents Manahawkin young people
and their Manahawkin parents from thinking about their nutritional
status? Expectedly the same things that hold young adults back - belief
their diet is appropriate, no symptomatology, and confusion over nutrient sources. (1) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center knows that a life experience
draws awareness.
WAKE-UP CALLS
When do young people think about their
nutritional status? At the same time it would garner the attention of
an adult - when there is pain. Amazingly, 71% of
schoolchildren aged 12-17 years report at least one
episode of low back pain. (2) 17.4% of students report
cervical spine pain. 18% state low back pain. Older
adolescents (24.4%) have more cervical spine pain
than younger ones (11.9%). Older
adolescents (25.1%) suffer more lumbar spine pain than
younger ones (12.4%), too. (3) More girls than boys report back pain. (4) As
researchers describe, Manahawkin Chiropractic Center notes that
Manahawkin kids with spine pain share some risk factors for Manahawkin back pain and
neck pain.
RISKS FOR Manahawkin 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) Inactive adolescents have more cervical and lumbar spine pain than
active kids. (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) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center assesses Manahawkin
back pain kids and adults to check for risks and create
a treatment plan to avert them from becoming painful realities.
